Chinmaya Mission Niagara has been serving society since the late 1980s. Weekly classes were held from home to home until 1999 when Swami Tejomayananda (Pujya Guruji) officially created another chapter to Chinmaya Mission Worldwide.

Weekly classes for Bala Vihar, Yuva Kendra and Adults continued in schools for the next few years. However, in 2006 the committee felt it was time to have their own home. With the blessings and a puja performed by Swami Shantananda, Chinmaya Mission Niagara moved into its own centre in July of 2007. Pujya Guruji named it Chinmaya Dhara.

Just as there was a demand for a centre in Niagara, so too was there demand for a teacher. And the Guru Parampara has supplied this community with both. Born and raised in Niagara, Vivekji turned away from the ordinary pursuits of life and took up the extraordinary path within. Having studied Vedanta in an Ashram in India for over two years under the guidance of Puyja Guruji, Vivekji has returned to Niagara to share this ancient wisdom with one and all.

Today, all classes are taking place at Chinmaya Dhara and are growing both in quality and quantity!

Our committee is made up of a few dedicated people:

 
Sri Vijay Gupta, President
Sri Ravi Kumar, Vice-President
Sri Krishan Sarin, Treasurer
Smt Kamal Sarin, Secretary
Smt Madhu Gupta, Sevak
Sri Sudesh Gupta, Sevak  
Smt Sarita Jain, Sevak
Smt Poonam Kumar, Sevak

Having experienced much of what the world has to offer, from studying at the Ivey School of Business to travelling to over forty five countries, Vivek still sought more. Simply tired of the inconsistent peace attached to extrovert pursuits, he decided enough was enough and turned his journey within.

In 2005, Vivek was accepted to the intensive two year Vedanta Course at Chinmaya Mission’s Sandeepany Sadhanalaya in Mumbai, India. Under the guidance of Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda, he studied the Upanishads, Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Shri Ramacharitramanas, Sanskrit, Vedic Chanting and a great deal more.

Joining the ultra rare company of those having graduated from a Sandeepany, now Vivek’s only purpose of life is to make others aware of what is the purpose of life - to be unconditionally happy.

Through his innovative and passionate style, Vivek makes the ancient wisdom of Vedanta (vision of non-duality) relevant, relatable, and reachable. Intrigued by the fact he is a young adult born and raised in Canada, all kinds of social groups, religious organizations, and Chinmaya Mission centers around North America have invited Vivek to share his insights into the truths of life.
