Swami Tejomayananda 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. But the gentleness of devotion arrived riding on the back of an intense education in physics, going up to a Master’s degree. Born, Sudhakar Kaitwade to a Maharashtrian family in Madhya Pradesh, this physicist had a close encounter that changed the velocity, direction and path of his life.
In an era rife with scepticism and confusion about matters spiritual, Swami Swaroopananda is a rare voice that blends authenticity with accessibility; theory with self- practice; logic with heart. 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 Swaroopananda has now been bestowed by Swami Tejomayananda the privilege to also serve as the Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide.

"Don't just invest on the child, also invest in the child. 'Investment on' gives outer
prosperity. 'Investment in' ensures inner unfoldment and lasting prosperity. True education
is 'investment on' the child complemented with 'investment in' the child." - Swami
Chinmayananda
Hari Om, Namaste! Swagatham, Welcome! We welcome you to have a glimpse of the
Chinmaya Education Movement. We are proud and privileged to share with you the activities of
our grand and global education movement. The Chinmaya Education Movement is one of the most
important contributions of Chinmaya Mission to the society envisaged by Pujya Gurudev Swami
Chinmayananda.
Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda was a visionary. He knew that children are the cream of
our generation and are the rulers and makers of tomorrow. Upon them, depends the future of
our nation. He said, “I am sure that the Chinmaya Education Movement will serve as a
spiritual workshop to mould and march-out the new generation of men and women, who will grow
to have great moral stature and ethical beauty. " This strong foundation for the future of
India had its humble beginnings at Kollengode- Kerala, way back in 1965 with a nursery
school. Since then many lamps have been lit, and many hearts have been kindled. The movement
as of now encompasses 92 Vidyalayas, 8 Colleges, 8 Vision Schools and an International
Residential School. These institutions are governed by the CCMT Education Cell.

UNIVERSAL OUTLOOKUniversal Outlook refers to instilling in children the concept of “Vasudaiva Kudumbakam”-“One world One Family. Such an outlook helps the child view himself/herself as a responsible citizen of world (including world issues), live in harmony with creation (environmental education and the synthesis between science and religion) as well as become aware of being an intrinsic part of the macrocosm. |
