Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav Celebration
Chinmaya Mission Houston will celebrate the Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav marking 75 years of the Chinmaya Movement. This milestone is an auspicious occasion to remember Pujya Gurudeva Swami Chinmayananda, reflect on the depth and reach of His teachings, and honor a legacy that continues to inspire and uplift generations.
As part of these celebrations, we will perform Hanuman Chalisa Havans on Saturday, March 14, 2026. In this sacred yajna, the Hanuman Chalisa will be chanted 108 times to invoke the blessings of Bhagavan Hanuman—for strength, courage, and selfless service. Through the power of collective chanting and sacred fire offerings, these Havans become a profound expression of spiritual dedication, cultural reverence, and universal oneness.
To prepare for this auspicious event, we will begin learning and practicing the chanting of the Hanuman Chalisa. Let us all participate wholeheartedly so that, by March 14, we can chant with devotion, confidence, and unity during the Havan.
