The creative wing of Chinmaya Mission is 'Chinmaya Creations'. Chinmaya Mission is not just an organisation. Chinmaya Mission is a movement into Eternity, a noble resolve, a sacred journey, a highway to Happiness within and without. The logic of spirituality and the science of living, declared in Advaita Vedanta is the biggest contribution of Chinmaya Mission to the world at large. The principle of world-harmony and universal-happiness through individual transformation and mutual understanding is the basis of the Vision of Vedanta and so also of Chinmaya Mission.
Over 300 centres all over the world, presence in 25 countries across the globe, more than 50 years of socio-spiritual service, more than 250 Acharyas & tens of thousands of volunteers working tirelessly for years, millions of lives touched and transformed through one Vision, one Mission.

"To give maximum happiness to maximum people for maximum time."
