Chinmaya Mission Study Groups are small (5-15 people), regular gatherings for individuals dedicated to the study and discussion of Vedantic texts. The seekers meet weekly for about ninety minutes at a time and location convenient to the members.

At the conclusion of the 17th Jnana Yajna in Delhi in March 1956, Swami Chinmayananda emphasized the importance of structured and consistent learning. Inspired by Gurudev’s talks and yajnas, thousands of seekers eager to continue their scriptural studies were organized into local Study Groups, meeting weekly to explore Vedantic scriptures in a systematic and methodical way.

Through discussions, reflections, and shared experiences, seekers deepen their understanding and connect with like-minded individuals.
