SUMMARY:Gita Chanting Class
DESCRIPTION:Chant, Learn & Live Gita is the powerful instruction given by our Pujya Gurudev, Swami Chinamayananda in order to enable us to live a noble and inspired life. Chanting of the Gita increases one’s curiosity to know the meaning and this leads to deeper study that in turn can help lead to transform oneself. The Lord dwells at all times where the Gita is read, heard, taught and contemplated upon. In this class, attendees will learn how to chant the verses of the Bhagavad Gita.\n“To adore an ideal with reverence and devotion, and to sing His glories, at all times continuously, is the silent act of a mind that has been fully opened to appreciate the ideal that one has learnt to glorify.”\nSwami Chinmayananda\n

SUMMARY:Gita Panchamrit Jnana Yajna – Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav
DESCRIPTION:How do we navigate the journey from self-effort to total surrender? Join us for a special Jnana Yajna with Swami Ishwarananda (CM Los Angeles) as we explore the Gita Panchamrit.\nThe Bhagavad Gita is a vast ocean of 700 verses, but its essence can be tasted in just a few drops. As part of the Amrit Mahotsav celebrations, we invite you to Gita Panchamrit, a special lecture series by Swami Ishwarananda (CM Los Angeles). We will explore five carefully chosen shlokas drawn from different chapters of the Gita. While distinct, these verses weave together to paint a profound picture of the duties of a seeker and what he will gain as a result of pursuing this spiritual path. Whether you are new to Vedanta or a long-time student, this series offers a simple, consistent practice to absorb the Gita’s light.\nIn an age where information overwhelms but inner strength seems scarce, these five verses become an anchor. They reconnect us with clarity and purpose, inviting us to learn, chant, reflect and live the Gita, not as philosophy tucked away in books, but as a daily source of strength and guidance.\nLocation: Burnaby Hindu Temple – 5420 Marine Dr, Burnaby, BC\nThis event is free to attend and does not require any reservation.\nThis event is part of a series of events for the Amrit Mahotsav. Swamiji will also be guiding a Hanuman Pooja on Sunday, April 19th. For more information, visit our event page for more details ( https://chinmayavancouver.org/events/hanuman-pooja-chinmaya-amrit-mahotsav/ ).\nSponsorships\nSponsorships are available and the sponsorship amount is $300. Please email info@chinmayavancouver.org ( mailto:info@chinmayavancouver.org ) for more information or contact Jaya (604-325-9390) or Sharada (778-522-6851).\nAbout Swami Ishwarananda\nSwami Ishwarananda is the resident Swami at Chinmaya Mission Los Angeles (CMLA). An accomplished master of Vedanta philosophy, Swamiji explains the universality of spiritual teachings in a simplified manner for audiences to grasp and for seekers to implement teachings in day-to-day living. Several companies, universities, and inter-faith consortiums routinely reach out to Swamiji for delivering talks to their employees, students, and congregations. Swamiji is presently one of the Directors of Chinmaya Mission West (CMW) which oversees the activities in North America. Previously, Swamiji was part of Chinmaya Mission Bangalore where he served as the secretary.\nSwamiji has conducted yajnas in Vancouver many times before, and you can view his previous virtual lecture series on Chapter 14 of the Bhagavad Gita here, ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX2EGHwxDuY&list=PLjtCieGzFJYDYhwhLQ1a-YnxQ9pSLsoJT ) his lecture series on Subodha Vedanta ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjtCieGzFJYCxekjOBz3roxW2U-fo0gAe ), and his lectures series on the Hanumat Stuti ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcGh9Uiy1Gw&list=PLjtCieGzFJYBnTd_dUsn80Ib1sm8CCy-G ).\nAbout Guru Dakshina\nGuru Dakshina is a very ancient concept belonging to the Indian origin. It is the tradition to offer, with reverence, something of value, to one’s ‘Guru’ or ‘Teacher’ or towards his/her cause in recognition of the invaluable knowledge imparted to the student. Spiritual knowledge offered by the Chinmaya Mission will always remain free. However, if you would like to offer Guru Dakshina, please send your donation via Interac e-transfer to treasurer@chinmayavancouver.org ( mailto:treasurer@chinmayavancouver.org ) and include “Swami Ishwarananda GD” in the note.

It is a collective expression of gratitude, joy, and renewed purpose, honoring Gurudev’s life and teachings through spiritual offerings, cultural programs, and community-led initiatives across the world.

SUMMARY:Friday Class: Prashnopanishad
DESCRIPTION:Beginning October 31, 2025, this class covers the Prashnopanishad: Six Disciples. Six Questions. One Truth.\nAbout Prashnopanishad\nPrashnopanishad, rooted in the Atharva Veda, is a unique Upanishadic text built around six fundamental questions posed by sincere seekers to the sage Pippalada. Prashna means “question,” and this text is a profound dialogue where the queries of the students reflect the timeless concerns of all spiritual aspirants including questions on creation, life, prana (vital energy), meditation, and the ultimate purpose of existence.\nThrough these exchanges, the Rishi’s answers become the compassionate voice of scripture, gently guiding the seeker from confusion to clarity, from darkness to light. The text reminds us that spiritual knowledge is not merely taught but revealed to those who approach with faith, discipline, and a deep longing to know.\nPlease note that registration is required for this class. For inquiries about registration, please email info@chinmayavancouver.org ( mailto:info@chinmayavancouver.org ).\n

SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Vedanta (Online)
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: As of September 2025, the Fundamentals of Vedanta Class is also offered in-person in Surrey, BC. For more details, please visit the Class Page ( https://chinmayavancouver.org/events/fundamentals-of-vedanta-surrey/ ).\nVedanta, the essential core of Hinduism, is the universal science of life relevant to all people of all backgrounds and faiths. This ageless and timeless wisdom has been passed down through the ancient lineage of the guru-shishya parampara (the Vedic teacher-student tradition), providing the contemporary tools to realize the wisdom in one’s life. \nThis class will cover foundational concepts and texts recommended for the study of vedanta. It is open to all who wish to begin their spiritual studies or brush up on fundamental concepts useful for other classes.\nThis class is currently covering Upadesa Saar by Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi.\nTo listen to previous classes and texts, visit this link for audio class recordings.\n\n
