Chinmaya Mission Canberra operates under the auspices of Chinmaya Mission Sydney, headed by the spiritual Teacher in charge, Swami Shrikarananda ji.
Chinmaya Family Program
It embodies the vision that 'A Family that Prays Together Stays Together'.
Simultaneous classes for primary, high school/college students and their parents, and adults in general are held once a week during ACT School Term dates.
Classes are run by trained sevaks.
How is the program conducted?
Members of all three groups come together to attend these classes. The classes start with an opening (vedic) prayer by the collective group (children, teens and adults). The students then disperse to their respective rooms and study the relevant scripture-based taught by trained sevaks. The classes conclude with all three groups coming together once again for closing (vedic) prayers.
The focus of these classes is to make the students the best version they can be, well integrated in their homes and the wider community. This is done by focussing on universal values while sharing the content in the text, giving activities to do in class and practise at home. These activities are geared to making them holistic individuals by integrating heart and the head to make the community (starting with home) harmonious.
What texts are being studied?
Primary school children - Bal Vihar - Bala Ramayan (with focus on values, not just the story line)
High School/College - Kindle Life (A preliminary text of Vedantic studies, that lays a very good foundation for all advanced studies. Full of guidance for right living and decision making to achieve one's material and spiritual goals.
Adults - Bhagawad Geeta Ch 2 (studying verses 1 by 1 and taking key messages for integrating ourselves within and without through day to day living). Chapter 3 to commence shortly.
In addition, there several online classes (Bhagawad Geeta Ch 2, Tattva Bodha, Bhaja Govindam) and chanting programs like Vishnu sahasra naama and Sundar Kand, that families can avail of, all on one subscription for the entire family.
