The seeds of "The Chinmaya Movement" were laid in Vancouver
B.C., in 1972 when Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji was scheduled
to arrive for a series of three lectures at Simon Fraser University.
The organizer, Mrs. Menon suddenly had to fly to New York and
so Mr. and Mrs. Kapahi got the golden opportunity of hosting Gurudev.
This accidental incident proved to be a turning point in their
lives and of the Chinmaya movement in Vancouver.
Since then regular study classes have been conducted in Vancouver by various
Acharyas. Inspired by Pujya Gurudev, Robyn Thompson joined the two year
Brahmachari course in Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, Mumbai. Brni Robyn
returned to Vancouver in 1986 and conducted regular study classes which
were held first at Mr. and Mrs Deshpande’s residence and later on at
Mr and Mrs Kapahi’s residence.
Brni Robyn now conducts regular classes in Victoria. Jaya Muzumdar conducts
weekly study groups for different levels and monthly adult study classes in
Vancouver and Seattle.
The mission has grown rapidly and we have at least two Jnana yagnas every year.
We also have classes running for children, youth and adults alike.
By Pujya Gurudev’s grace and the blessings of Swami Tejomayanandaji, the present
Spiritual Head of Chinmaya Mission, Worldwide, we have rented a property
where we hold all our regular classes. Address of our present center is 155
East 54th Avenue, Vancouver, B.C.
By the grace of Pujya Gurudev, we envisage that Chinmaya Mission Vancouver will be
eventually having its own center to continue spreading this Vedantic knowledge
and play its part in fostering the culture of India in the minds of all the people
of Vancouver.
