Introduction

Keeping in line with the vision of the Chinmaya Mission, Chinmaya Mission New Zealand (CMNZ) came into existence in the year 2002, as a registered charitable institution, with the main aim of sharing the benefits of our culture to the local community. We have Brni. Bhakti Chaitainya and Br. Adarsh Chaitanya as our teachers who guide Mission’s activities in Nelson and Auckland respectively. The activities in Nelson have been going since the past several years under th able guidance of Brni. Bhaktiji. The main aim through the activities it conducts is to instill humanitarian values in the hearts of the young (at Balvihar) and to provide a broader and more inspiring vision to life for the youth so as to bring out their best in their respective field of work (at Yuva Kendra) and to provide for the adults the path towards Truth of the scriptures (at the Study Groups).
