Br. Yukta Chaitanya Initiative for Maximise Happiness

My name is Br. Yukta Chaitanya and I am running this crowdfunding campaign “Maximise Happiness” for Chinmaya Seva Trust Mumbai (Chinmaya Mission Mumbai). As of 2nd October 2020 Chinmaya Mission Mumbai has served millions of Individuals for more than 60 years. I would request you to support me in helping spread a smile and Maximising Happiness..

“Indiscriminate charity is not acceptable to the science of Vedanta. Every benefactor has the right, even the duty, to inquire into the righteousness of the cause he is trying to patronize. It is said that having come to judge a cause to be deserving, give it your entire patronage. Give in plenty; with both hands, give. Give with modesty.”  - HH Swami Chinmayananda

What causes are we serving specifically?

Chinmaya Mission Mumbai has 3 key areas of service to provide holistic support to all sections of the society. These are:
