Do you know the story behind Oโ€™Hare who honors the name of Chicagoโ€™s airport?

Inaugurating the annual Memorial Day Youth (CHYK) retreat at Chinmaya Abhyudaya, Swami Aparajitananda ji emphasized the need for leaders to be great role models utilizing the powerful story of Butch Oโ€™Hare who had a great role model in his father.

45 youth from across the US attended and immersed themselves in vital life lessons through Vedanta in an atmosphere of satsang, camaraderie and inspiration.

Before โ˜€๏ธ Surya Namaskar โ˜€๏ธ was a practice, it was Hanuman's act of love โ€” bowing to the sun, again and again. In the process he was blessed with strength, knowledge and devotion.

Come bow with us. ๐Ÿ™

๐Ÿ“ฃVERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Advanced Mother's Day wishes to all!
We have loved being a popular venue for celebrating this day with many of you for decades.

However, due to the ongoing construction at our Badri grounds and space constraints at the nearby Abhyudaya, this yearโ€™s Motherโ€™s Day event is strictly RESTRICTED to only registered/regular patrons of Chinmaya Mission Chicago. Only those with wristbands can enter the event.

We are sorry for any disappointments. We will be back to our regular format in 2027 and look forward to seeing all of you.

Swami Sharanananda spoke to students at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in a talk organized by .yuva.uiuc. Swamiji spoke on the rarity and purpose of human life urging the youth to focus on knowing their true nature and utilizing life for a higher purpose.
About 30 students attended and asked very thoughtful questions which Swamiji answered with his typical simplicity and humor.

๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ We were very blessed to present 5 renditions of the Hanuman Chalisa and bhajans to conclude the Sita-Rama Kalyana utsavam at the Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago, Lemont, IL. Over 100 Chinmaya members and students of our Chalisa chanting classes joined together in a magical session flanked by Sri Rama-Ma Sita on one end and Hanuman ji on the other. (Videos in comments)

The event was made extra special by the presence of our acharya ๐๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐š ๐’๐ฐ๐š๐ฆ๐ข ๐’๐ก๐š๐ซ๐š๐ง๐š๐ง๐š๐ง๐๐š who was honored by temple authorities and priests with Purna kumbham.

The temple officials recalled Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda's financial contribution to its construction 40 years ago. The temple Shilpi pointed out the silver plaque on the Sanjeevani tree which has Pujya Gurudev's name. They warmly requested Chinmaya Mission to present similar programs at the temple.

We thank the temple for their loving invitation. Thanks also to all the sevaks, mission families, and Chalisa students for making the time for such a special event. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

The last discourse of Sundarakanda today by Swami Aparajitananda ji was preceded by a vibrant rendition of Nama Ramayana, Hanuman Chalisa and some Bhajans by Chicago Tyagaraja Utsavam students of Srimathi Maragatham Mani. We are thankful to them for the energy and devotion they brought to help all assimilate the insights from the discourse
