Gita Jnana Yagna

Chinmaya Jyoti Yatra

The Jyoti Yatra is one of the first CHYK West projects to encompass the whole Chinmaya Mission West and it is done as an offering to Gurudev for his Centennial Celebration. It will be a year long event in which we will have 4 Jyotis (lamps) that will travel the four regions of the USA and Canada, stopping at each Chinmaya Mission center in that region. The Jyoti will be housed at each center for roughly a month, during which various events shall be held as part of the “Yatra” to help spread awareness of who Gurudev is and build unity and a sense of belonging among all the Chinmaya Mission Centers and study groups.

The Jyoti is symbolic of Pujya Gurudev Himself and we will receive and house the Chinmaya Jyoti from Oct 3 through Oct 31, 2015. We are expecting the Jyoti to arrive at 6 pm on Oct 3 from Portland, so kindly assemble by 5:45 pm at Chinmaya Triveni.

Our Gita Jnana Yajna on Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 starts at 6 pm.
