The Need for a Facility

Chinmaya Vision in Danger

As Bala Vihar enrollment and attendance at events grows, the Chinmaya vision - “to provide maximum happiness, to the maximum (number of) people, for the maximum time” - is in danger of being compromised

Bala Vihar Needs

Rapid growth

Exorbitant rental expense

Multiple class cancellations

Yagnas

Outside rentals are expensive and unsuitable for our specific needs

Pujas & Festivals

Attendance larger than what the Sandeepany San Jose facility can support

Lack of parking at Sandeepany San Jose

Facility Requirements

Convenient Location

Central to San Jose, Fremont, and Los Altos

Class rooms

At least 20 class rooms, each to seat roughly 40 students

Lecture Hall & Temple

For Acharya’s regular lectures and for pujas

200 people capacity

Larger Lecture Hall for Yagnas

Class rooms will be convertible into a large lecture hall

Parking

Enough parking for Bala Vihar parents and Mission devotees

Longevity

Support foreseeable Bala Vihar needs for approximately 15 years

The Plan & Status

The plan is to build or acquire a facility that will meet the above requirements. CMSJ has launched an effort to appeal to High Net Worth Individuals for donations. CMSJ has also launched a grassroots level pledge drive. Your support is key to make this drive successful
