Bhoomi Pooja

MASTERS OF THE MILLENNIUMTapovan Maharaj (1889-1957) was a Hindu Sannyasi and Vedanta scholar. He was a contemporary of Swami Sivananda Maharaj who was the Guru of Swami Chinmayananda. Swami Tapovan Maharaj exhibited a marked partiality for spiritual life. He delighted in worshipping idols fashioned with his own hands. Tapovan Maharaj exhibited a thirst for spiritual knowledge and self-realization, also being an accomplished public speaker. He left the modern education system

early and dedicated himself to the study sanskrit and vedanta.

Swami Chinmayananda (1916-1993) was a Hindu spiritual leader and teacher who inspired the formation of Chinmaya Mission, a worldwide nonprofit organization, to spread the knowledge of Advaita Vedanta, the nondual system of thought found in the Upanishads, which epitomize the philosophical teachings of the Vedas. Chinmayananda is known for teaching Bhagavad gita, the Upanishads, and other ancient Hindu scriptures.

Swami Tejomayananda (Pujya Guruji) is the former Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide, a position he held since 1993 after Swami Chinmayananda attained Mahasamadhi. If Swami Chinmayananda served the cause of Vedanta with his service, knowledge and pioneering qualities, Swami Tejomayananda – fondly addressed as Guruji – completed that with his natural attitude of devotion. This is richly and abundantly evident in his talks, his singing, and his demeanour.

Swami Swaroopannanda (Head, CM Worldwide) has now been bestowed by Swami Tejomayananda the privilege to also serve as the Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide. Formerly the Regional Head of Chinmaya Mission Australia, United Kingdom, Middle East, Africa and Far East, and presently Chairman of the Chinmaya Vishwavidyapeeth Trust (University for Sanskrit and Indic Traditions) and Director of the Chinmaya International Residential School in Coimbatore, South India.

Swami Sharanananda hails from Puri in Orissa, India. Being inspired by Pujya Gurudev H.H. Swami Chinmayanandji, He has served Chinmaya Mission centers in Anugul, Rourkela and Calcutta. He has been the resident Acharya at Chinmaya Mission Chicago since March 1993. He is serving as our Acharya at Northwest India since 2002. On July 9, 1995 he was initiated into Sannyasa Diksha by H.H. Swami Tejomayanandaji and became Swami Sharanananda. He conducts Jana Yagnas and other scriptural classes during Chinmaya Mission family camps in America and Canada. Swamiji likes to be with children. He places great importance on value based living.
