Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2 Verse 20
He is not born, nor does He ever die; after having been, He again ceases not to be. Unborn, eternal, everlasting and primeval, He is not slain when the body is slain.

Chinmaya Mission comes to Penn!
Hari Om! Chinmaya Yuva Kendra (CHYK) is excited to open its Philadelphia chapter on the UPenn campus! We will conduct a weekly study group to bring together individuals to collectively reflect on and stimulate inquiry into the principles of Vedanta, enhance self-reflection, and draw from each other’s insights. Participants will meet on Saturday afternoons to study and discuss Vedantic texts based on a Chinmaya Mission study syllabus. It’s a great way to supplement all the awesome activities and discussions we have in HSC! If you are interested please contact Suriya Sharma, sur...@wharton.upenn.edu, or request to join the CHYK Philadelphia Facebook group:

All interested people are welcome whether you have experience with Chinmaya Mission or not!
