Chinmaya Mission Niagara (CMN) has been serving society since the late 1980s. Weekly classes were held from home to home until 1999 when Swami Tejomayananda officially created another chapter to Chinmaya Mission Worldwide. Weekly classes for kids, youth and adults continued in schools for the next few years. However, in August of 2007 CMN moved into its own facility named Chinmaya Dhara or the Flow of Consciousness. Just as there was demand for a centre in Niagara, so too was there demand for a teacher. Born and raised in Niagara, Acharya Vivek turned away from the ordinary pursuits of life and took up the extraordinary path within. Having studied Vedanta at Sandeepany Sadhanalaya in Mumbai, India for over two years under the guidance of Swami Tejomayananda, Vivekji has returned to Niagara to share this ancient wisdom with one and all. Today, all activities are taking place at Chinmaya Dhara and are growing both in quality and quantity!
