Auspicious blessings

The imposing Pranav Ganesh Mandir, constructed high on a hill above the Chinmaya Vibhooti complex houses a spectacular and immensely powerful 5.2 feet tall, pristine white marble idol of Lord Ganesha.
The temple was consecrated on January 26, 2012, with Kalashabhishekam and 3 days of elaborate rituals and puja. The temple has beautiful granite floors and soaring majestic ceilings and is designed in the shape of a Sri Yantra – a geometric symbol of the cosmos order.

Within the temple a Chinmaya Akhanda Jyoti, a lamp which travelled around the nation in the birth centenary year of Swami Chinmayananda, is the visible symbol of the Master’s eternally glowing light and love
The temple has an intensely quiet ‘Dhyana Mandir’ or meditation hall one floor below the sanctum, where seekers may sit silently, absorbing the powerful vibrations. A single backlit visual image of Om glows on the wall.

Walking with the Master
Inaugurated on December 27, 2008, Chinmaya Jeevan Darshan (CJD) is an outstanding tribute and monument to showcase the teachings, life, vision and work of Swami Chinmayananda through an exquisite amalgamation of paintings, sculptures, photographs, quotations, and audio and video multi-media technology.

Giant murals in brilliant colours piece together the story of Swami Chinmayananda’s life. The audio narrative through a ‘wireless’ GuidePORT head-set allows the viewer to understand the fifteen murals better, and also experience the whole monument at his or her own pace.
Chinmaya Jeevan Darshan brings the story of Swami Chinmayananda’s life alive to the visitor and invites us to aspire for the highest. The design ‘sets out to achieve the intimacy experienced by a visit to a temple or the satisfaction and joy felt doing a tirth-yatra (pilgrimage) Chinmaya Jeevan Darshan: Open on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1.30 to 4.00 pm (entry closes at 3.30 pm).

The sacred grove
The Dhyan Vatika aims to revive an ancient tradition of maintaining sacred groves, known in Maharashtra as Devrai. Devrai is a patch of virgin forest which is preserved in the name of God and which represents an eco-system. This Dhyan Vatika provides a serene ambience full of positive energy and it is an ideal location for meditation.

Dhyan Vatika at Chinmaya Vibhooti enables the panchavati sankalpana associated with all our sacred places. Panchavati means a group of five sacred trees viz. Banyan tree, Peepal tree, Amala tree, Bilva tree and Ashoka tree, planted in a particular orientation. These trees represent Panch-Mahabhoot Tattva.
Individuals/families/groups are welcome to support the initiative by contacting us. Support covers water, fertiliser and labour for 3 years, after which the grove will grow undisturbed in its natural environment.
