questions and brimming with curiosity, Balakrishnan Menon, a patriotic journalist of the National Herald, set out for the ashram of Pujya Swami Sivananda in Rishikesh. Thus began a journey leading to his own spiritual evolution. Choosing to become a renunciate, Menon was initiated into sannyasa, and given the name Swami Chinmayananda Saraswati.<\/p><p>Spiritually awakened through Pujya Swami Tapovanam Maharaj\u2019s tutelage and grace, and inspired by Mother Ganga&#8217;s continuous flow of purity and service to mankind, Pujya Swami Chinmayananda sought and received his Guru&#8217;s blessings to spread the scriptural knowledge that had brought fulfilment in his own life. As He journeyed from the mountains to the plains, the seeds were sown for the birth of Chinmaya Mission.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
