Fifty Years of Chinmaya Mission

The year 2001 marked 50 years of the Chinmaya Movement that Pujya Gurudev sparked with his first Jnana Yajna in 1951.  To celebrate the Swarna Mahotsav (golden jubilee,) Chinmaya Mission commemorated Gurudev’s invaluable contribution to humanity with varied yearlong activities. Then came the finale called Chinmaya Vishwa Sammelan from 24-31 December 2001, in Mumbai. The global Chinmaya family of over 10,000 delegates, inspired with the attitude, “I’m CM – I am Chinmaya Mission,” paid homage to Gurudev with the promise to keep His vision glowing.
