Inspired by a grand vision, Param Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji founded the Chinmaya Mission. The mission aims at an inner transformation of individuals resulting in a happy world around them. The Chinmaya Mission is now a global spiritual organization, which has over 200 centers in India and 75 outside India. It is engaged in various spiritual, educational, cultural, and social activiies for the welfare of the people at large.

The Concept
Chinmaya Vibhuti is not one of the many kinds of projects or a particular activity of the Mission. It will be the center of information, motivation and inspiration for the entire Mission - the devotees, the exising and future projects and activities. It will as it were, be the heart that pumps the Mission with its life and sustenance. It will be the light that will keep Pujya Gurudev's vision glowing and guide the future of the Chinmaya Mission.

The word "Vibhuti", means "glory". This product will spread the glory of Pujya Gurudev by keeping his vision alive and shining. Hence the name Chinmaya Vibhuti.

The Location
Pujya Gurudev started his work from Pune and hence Chinmaya Vibhuti will be located near Pune - the birthplace of the movement.

The place is situated some 40 kms from Pune and 45 kms from Lonavala, in the lush beauty of the Sahayadri Ranges, in Kolwan village in Maharashtra, India. Its area is about 50 acres.
