Adult Study Group Attendees:  Open only to registered Balavihar families or Parivaar/Sevak members Time:  7:00 - 8:45 pm Fridays on Balavihar weekends   Kathopanishad is a unique Upanishad which starts with a katha (a story) of a young boy who is ready to face the Lord of Death in his quest for Truth to know what lies beyond death. He asks the very pertinent and philosophical question, ‘Is there or is there not, and if it is what is it?’In short, this teaching is an extravaganza of spiritual knowledge and meditation that guides a student step by step to the glorious state of immortality, peace and bliss. The format of our class will be to watch video of Guruj’s  discourses for about 30 minutes and continue our Satsangha reading out Gurudev’s Book on Kathopanishad followed by Q&A . The class will have active participation with a quest to prime our precious moments to unfold the mystery beyond Death.

Adult Study Group Attendees:  Open only to registered Balavihar families or Parivaar/Sevak members Time: 12:45 - 2:30 PM Sundays on Balavihar weekends   The Vedanta 101 study group is targeted towards beginners in Vedanta and introduces the foundations and glossary of our scriptures in a structured and systematic way.   The book Self Unfoldment written by Pujya Swami Chinmayananda is an extensive manual that elucidates the whole topic of Vedanta in simple layman’s language. The book is filled with simple examples which illustrate complex Vedantic concepts like BMI chart, Karma, Gunas, Pancha Kosha, meditation and many other topics. Every chapter ends with with a set of questions and references for further reading from the Holy Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and other Vedantic texts. The greatness of this book lies in the fact that it does not only discuss Vedantic philosophies academically but also provides real life examples of how this philosophy can be applied in real life by the aspirant to gain the ultimate happiness which is within us. Anyone who reads and absorbs the contents of this book gets a very firm footing on the spiritual path and his/her doubts vanish due to the simple handling of topics.

Please join us for the 2026 CHYK/CSK East Coast Retreat on the theme of 'Living the Gita'. This retreat will be based on five key verses of the Bhagavad Gita -- or the Gita Panchamrit.  Gita Panchamrit is a sacred sādhanā that marks 75 years of the Chinmaya Mission Movement by inviting seekers to immerse in the timeless nectar of the Bhagavad Gītā. With five powerful ślokas at its heart, this year’s theme will impart Chinmaya Yuva Kendra and Chinmaya Setu Kari with the Gītā’s enduring essence. In addition to the discourses on the five verses, we will have workshops, yoga, games, plenty of opportunities for introspection, and a bonfire! We are very fortunate to have Brni. Shubhani Chaitanya, our resident brahmacharini of Chinmaya Mission New York, guiding us through the retreat and leading the discourses.  Learn more about our wonderful Brni. Shubhaniji at :  https://chinmayanewyork.org/staff-page/brahmacharini-shubhani-chaitanya/ We truly hope you can join us and if you have any questions - please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at kumar.devika99@gmail.com.
