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:
