At a time when the depredations of Christian missionaries in the form of their ‘soul harvesting’activities continue unabated in the hills of Tripura and the multiple ‘Jihadi’ programmes of the Muslim fundamentalists continue in various forms in the rest of the country, the launching of the ‘Sondariya Chinmay Mandir’and school in Mohanpur area , north of Agartala may turn out to be a significant milestone in defence of Tripura’s indigenous Hindu tradition and culture cutting across ethnic divides. The most significant aspect of the inauguration today is that it coincides with the celebration of the ‘Gariya Puja’of indigenous Hindus.

Sources close to the Chinmay Mission and Trust said that Swami Chinmay Saraswati had been born (Balkrishna Menon) in Ernakulam district of Kerala in 1916 and had devoted his life to quest for spiritual truth based on classical Indian Hindu vedantic philosophy . In his illustrious life Swami Chinamayananda Saraswati had not only disseminated vedantic philosophy , knowledge and truth but had also tried to show the path of true spirituality to humanity in a comprehensive manner in harmony with nature. He breathed his last in the year 1993. The Central Chinmay Mission and Trust had been launched first in the year 1953 under the leadership of the great spiritual guide and teacher’s disciple Swami Swaroopananda. At present the gigantic mission and trust is headed by Swami Tejomahananda.

Sources said that at present the Chinmay Mission and Trust has altogether 313 centres in India and abroad including 30 in north American countries. The main activities of the Mission and Trust concentrate on dissemination of classical Hindu spiritual knowledge based on Vedanta, Upanishads and Srimad Bhagwat Gita. Apart from this, true education , service to humanity , consciousness of environment and its protection , rural developments are also taught by all the centres of the Mission and Trust globally. In the coming days the Mission and Trust aim to expand its activities in the hilly areas of the state as part of its inclusive pan Indian approach.
