Harnessing Youth Potential through Dynamic Spirituality
Chinmaya Yuva Kendra (CHYK) is the global youth wing of Chinmaya Mission. It aims to empower youth with the vision, values and dynamism for success in all fields. The CHYK San Jose chapter is a community of young seekers (ages 18-35) in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The group meets weekly for discussion on Vedantic texts guided by Chinmaya Mission San Jose resident spiritual teacher, Br. Soham Chaitanya. The group also meets occasionally for social events including hikes, yoga, bhajan jams and more!
