Foreword – Pujya Swami Swaroopananda

Prologue

A decade has passed since the Pujya Guruji inaugurated Chinmaya Mission Portland’s sacred abode, a space where spirituality finds its home and hearts are nourished with the wisdom of the ages. As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we are reminded of the timeless teachings of our ancient sages, teachings that continue to guide and inspire us on our spiritual journey.

Chinmaya Mission Portland has been a beacon of light, illuminating the path of knowledge and self-discovery for all seekers who have walked through its doors. Under the guidance of dedicated teachers and the loving support of the community, this mission has blossomed into a sanctuary of peace, learning, and service.

In this special edition of Hari Patrika, we reflect on the journey that has brought us to this moment of celebration. It is a time to express gratitude for the blessings we have received, the lessons we have learned, and the transformations we have experienced.

As we look back with gratitude, let us also look forward with renewed determination and enthusiasm. May Chinmaya Mission Portland continue to be a source of wisdom and inspiration for generations to come, spreading the light of Vedanta far and wide.

I offer my heartfelt congratulations to Chinmaya Mission Portland on its 10th anniversary and extend my blessings to all who contribute to its noble mission.

May Pujya Gurudev continue to shower His blessings on all of us.

In Service,
Swami Swaroopananda
