Chinmaya Yuva Kendra (CHYK)

In May 1975, Gurudev lay foundation for Chinmaya Yuva Kendra (CHYK). From 20-27 May 1975, for the first time in a Gita Jnana Yajna, there was a special spiritual camp for youth and students. An important outcome of the camp was the formation of a Chinmaya Youth Forum with Bangalore as the headquarters. That forum became Chinmaya Yuva Kendra (CHYK) to emphasize that its main goal was its spiritual potential and not political affiliation.
