We invite you to join our Sponsorship program so that you can help us to promote, sustain and continue to teach adults and children alike, the Hindu Dharma which is our Heritage. Chinmaya Mission began its service to the Hindu Community some 20 years ago in the Bay Area. Programs were conducted on a small scale in private homes for many years.

In 1987, we acquired our own facility, named Sandeepany, in San Jose. Sandeepany is the name of the Guru of Bhagavan Sri Lord Krishna. Sri Swami Chinmayananda has named all our learning Institutions after Guru Sandeepany. We have grown rapidly in number and programs since then.

We are funded by public contributions. Your contribution, as a Sponsor, goes towards the operation of Sandeepany. Many families who are taking part in the various classes that we offer to adults and children, have enrolled themselves as Sponsors. They enjoy the many benefits that we offer and form an integral part of the Spiritual Family at Sandeepany.

Sponsorship is an annual contribution of $500 per family. The donation is tax deductible (Tax ID # 77-0315648) and can also be paid bi-annually, quarterly or monthly, according to your convenience.

We hope you will be our next Sponsor.

What do our Sponsors receive?

• They enjoy all the classes offered at Sandeepany San Jose, Los Altos, Fremont and San Ramon for adults and children without charge.
• They will receive, MANANAM, a periodical and the bi-monthly Newsletters of Chinmaya Mission West and Chinmaya Tej of Chinmaya Mission San Jose.
• They will also receive one year subscription to Tapovan Prasad, a monthly publication from Central Chinmaya Mission Trust, Bombay, India.
• Sponsors also receive discounted registration fees to Chinmaya Youth Camps held annually.
• Sponsors are invited to attend Week-end Retreats, held periodically at Sandeepany.

Thanks to all the Sponsor Families for their financial support and more importantly for their help in organizing and sustaining all the Mission programs for the past many years.
