2. Message from CMW Board
Hari OM Beloved Chinmaya Family,
Warm wishes to all our Chinmaya Family members worldwide for a joyous 2011!
This new year marks the start of the momentous countdown to the Chinmaya Birth Centennial in 2016 and the grand centenary celebrations to be held in December 2015 in India, where tens of thousands will gather to pay homage to, and witness the glory of, our beloved Pujya Gurudev, and the far-reaching grandeur and impact of his worldwide missionary work.
CMW is pleased to welcome the new year by introducing Mananam’s special Chinmaya Centenary Series of 12 semiannual issues that will commemorate Pujya Gurudev and Chinmaya Mission overall. To support this once-in-a-lifetime milestone project, please view the sponsorship form here.
As we begin our march to 2016, let us start the journey as Pujya Gurudev did-by learning at the holy feet of the renowned spiritual master and Vedantin of the Himalayas, our own Param Pujya Swami Tapovanam Maharaj. An inspiring and powerful message from Param Pujya Swamiji is given below to lead us all to a blessed and fulfilling 2011. May we all grow and revel in the grace of the Lord and the blessings of our sacred Guru Parampara .
Please view Swami Tapovanam Maharaj’s message here.

3. Book Store
Your bookstore is pleased to announce a new initiative to help you explore the treasure trove of fabulous publications by Chinmaya Mission. All Chinmaya Mission publications are written by Chinmaya Mission Swamis as well as by other well-known Mahatmas and spiritual leaders.
As we welcome the New Year, we would like to initiate a Book reading program. The idea is to select a book from the CM publications for reading over a two month period. We hope to offer 5-6 publication during the year. We believe this will be a very rewarding experience for Mission members, their families and friends.
As our first book we would like to suggest “The Journey of a Master – the Man, the Path and his Teaching”. We are starting preparations for Pujya Gurudeva’s birth centenary celebrations from this year. So it will be apt to start with this very inspiring biography of Pujya Gurudeva Swami Chinmayanandaji .
