A Scriptural Research Bridge – CIF

The Chinmaya Internal Foundation (CIF), registered at Cochin (now Kochi) in Kerala on 25 April 1989, was envisioned by Gurudev as a “temple of study and research, a center of Hindu culture, and a life-giving bridge between science and spirituality.” Housed in the sacred maternal home of Shri Adi Sankaracharya, the spiritual stalwart and founder of Advaita philosophy, it started and stands as a world-renowned research wing of Chinmaya Mission dedicated to ancient and modern Indian knowledge traditions.
