Do you know the story behind O’Hare who honors the name of Chicago’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 O’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 ☀️ Surya Namaskar ☀️ was a practice, it was Hanuman's act of love — bowing to the sun, again and again. In the process he was blessed with strength, knowledge and devotion.

Come bow with us. 🙏

📣VERY 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 year’s Mother’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.
