Chinmaya Gurukul is the spiritual home or ashram of Chinmaya Mission Alpharetta.
Chinmaya Mission Alpharetta is a registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. Chinmaya Mission Alpharetta is an incorporated center of Chinmaya Mission West and the Chinmaya Mission Worldwide organization.
Chinmaya Mission Alpharetta follows the Vedic teacher-student tradition (guru-shishya parampara) and makes available the ageless wisdom of Advaita Vedanta, the knowledge of universal oneness, providing the tools to realize the wisdom in one's life.
Vedanta, the essential core of Hinduism, is the universal science of life, relevant to all people of all backgrounds and faiths. Vedanta inspires seekers to understand their own faith better. Thus, although Chinmaya Mission Alpharetta is a Hindu organization, it does not seek to convert other religious practitioners.
As a spiritual movement that aims for inner growth at individual and collective levels, the mission offers a wide array of Vedanta study forums and spiritual practices for all ages, Yoga and Meditation sessions, promotes Indian classical art forms, provides a stage to all local artists to perform and operates several social service projects.
We conduct sessions at two locations Cumming and Marietta, in addition to several online and hybrid sessions.
Our Motto
Maximum happiness to Maximum people for the Maximum amount of time.
Our Vision
The inner transformation of individuals through knowledge of Vedanta, spiritual practices and service to society resulting in a happy world around them.
Our Mission
To provide individuals from any background the wisdom of Vedanta, and the practical means of spiritual growth and happiness, enabling them to become positive contributors to society.
