Brahmacharini Aparna Chaitanya |
|
With the blessings of Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda, Aparna Chaitanya was initiated as a brahmacharini into the Chinmaya Mission order by Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda in August 1995, after completing her two-year Vedanta course at 'Sandeepany Sadhanalaya' in Mumbai, India.
She has lived and studied across the US most of her life, and first met Pujya Gurudev at a Chinmaya Mission spiritual camp in Canada. Inspired by his life and teachings, she continued to seek his presence whenever chance permitted. In 1992, Pujya Gurudev granted her permission to join the Mission's brahmachari Vedanta course starting in 1993.
She resides in Miami, Florida, where she conducts Vedanta classes and activities for all age groups. She is the executive secretary of Chinmaya Mission West and the editor of CMW News, Chinmaya Mission West's bimonthly newsletter. |
