Chinmaya Mission Harleysville, PA

Just as a Kalpvrksha fulfills the desires of a layman, Chinmaya Mission has been fulfilling the spiritual aspirations of millions of devotees across the globe since its inception in 1950s. Inspired by His Holiness Pujya Swami Chinmayananda Vedanta Study and Satsang classes have been ongoing in Philadelphia area since long. Pujya Swami Chinmayananda ji visited Harleysville area several times during 1980-90s.

In 2009 Chandubhai ji Patel, Dhananjay and Karuna Samudralwar, Smitha & Subash Karra, Dipty & Amit Mehta, and Ragini Bhoopathy families started Bala Vihar & Yoga classes. Within few years this has now blossomed into a 150+ member Bala Vihar under the auspices of Chinmaya Mission Harleysville (CMH). Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda ji approved the proposal for a center in Harleysville area in Aug. 2011.  

With the financial support from Chinmaya Mission Tri-State Center Acharyas, Swami Shantananda ji & Swami Siddhananda ji, a four acre land was purchased in Harleysville PA in 2011 for the proposed mission building. Pujya Guruji during his visit in May 2012 named the center as “Chinmaya Ramalaya”. The 18, 000 sq. ft. new building will consist of a shrine of Shri Lord Rama parivar, well equipped Balavihar class rooms, auditorium, Yoga studio, Community hall, and Dining facilities.
