Chinmaya Mission Austin details

Pujya Swami Tapovan Maharaj

Pujya Swami Tapovan Maharaj was the very embodiment of the ideals of sannyāsa, endowed with supreme renunciation, deep wisdom, saintliness, austerity, and compassion, a true virakta mahātma.

Swamiji was born in 1886, in the village of Mudappalur in Palghat district to Balamba and Achutan Nair. His parents named him Subramanyan, but they lovingly called him Chippu Kutty. After the untimely death of his father, Swamiji left his home at the age of 28 to heed the call of the divine, eventually taking up residence in a one-room thatched hut in Uttarkashi, which came to be known as Tapovan Kutir. It was here that Gurudev sat at the feet of the great master for a total of seven years absorbing Vedantic knowledge.

Swamiji attained mahāsamādhi on the 16th of January 1957 on the full moon day; in the Brahma-muhūrta at 4:30 a.m. "He came from nowhere, existed everywhere, and ultimately went to be everywhere."

Pujya Swami Sivananda

Swami Sivananda, founder of the Divine Life Society and the diksha guru of Pujya Gurudev, was born on 8 th September, 1887 in the village of Pattamadai on the bank of the river Tamraparani in South India to Sri P.S. Vengu Iyer and Srimati Parvati Ammal. The happy couple named their son Kuppuswamy.

Kuppuswamy was an intelligent and mischievous boy who showed signs of renunciation and love for his fellow beings since his early childhood. After completing his medical studies in Tanjore, Swamiji started his practice in Tiruchi. In 1913 he left India to go to Malaysia where he was highly acclaimed as a kind and sympathetic doctor with a charming and majestic personality, who was always ready to serve those in need. His immense philanthropy and spirit of service and renunciation endeared him to all. People lovingly called him the "Heart of Love".

Chinmaya Vatika - Our Beginning

Just over fifteen years ago in April 1988, a group of visionary families started the Austin branch of Chinmaya Mission with the inspiration and full support of Acharya Gaurangbhai and Acharya Darshanaben of the Houston Chinmaya Center. These parents realized that their children needed a means of learning about their rich culture and religion if they were to grow up with a solid sense of self worth and appreciation of their ancient heritage. Also, these parents recognized their own need for spiritual fulfillment. The Austin center has grown by leaps and bounds to arrive at where it is today. The core group of fifteen families that met in the homes of two dedicated members has blossomed into a large Chinmaya Parivar.
