Hari OM!

Language classes, Vedic chanting, Swaranjali (Chinmaya Choir) and volunteering programs are all open only to our current annual sponsors.

Chinmaya Swaranjali Portland – the musical wing of CMP is open to singers and musicians, of *all ages*. No prior experience is needed.

Sign-up closes on Sept 20, 2026, Sunday morning. When registering, please mention any musical instruments you play, if applicable.

This year, we plan to meet after Bala Vihar classes. Re-registration is required even if you were part of Swaranjali last year. Attendance in Bala Vihar is mandatory for students to participate in Swaranjali.

Parent volunteers played a huge part in the success of Swaranjali in the last few years. If you would like to sign up to help with Swaranjali in any way; help with coordination, organization, acoustics, etc, please do mention that in the sign-up options.

If you have questions please reach out via email.

Sincerely in His Service,
CMP Swaranjali team

Love is the heart of religions, the theme of all classical works of art and literature, the song of all devotees. Scientists know only what love does not what love is.

Hari OM!

Devotional Singing (Bhajans) and Namasmarana (repetition of the Divine name) have often been prescribed by eminent divine personalities and true spiritual leaders as an age-old tool for spiritual, mental, and emotional upliftment. In short, an end result is an act of purification to one’s being and surroundings.

If you are our Bala vihar participant and you or your child would like to sing Bhajans, here is the perfect opportunity, during our assembly! The bhajan singing slot is from 9:20 to-9:30am. Any devotional song, in any language, can be sung as long as all can sing along. Please prepare bhajan(s) to be sung in an assigned 10 minutes duration. You will need to be in the hall (or login to zoom) by 9:15 am. The lyrics of the bhajan need to reach our AV coordinators by Friday of the preceding week at the latest.
