Chinmaya Mission Sydney warmly invites the entire community to a deeply inspiring spiritual and cultural gathering celebrating 75 years of Swami Chinmayananda’s and Chinmaya Mission Worldwide’s dedicated service in uplifting humanity. This landmark event seeks to uplift hearts, energise minds, and foster unity through devotion, culture, and shared joy.
In a time when Sydney yearns for harmony, positivity, and inner strength, this unique Hanuman Festival, celebrated through Hanuman Chalisa Havan and collective Hanuman Chalisa chanting, offers a powerful opportunity to dispel negativity, awaken courage, and reconnect with higher values.
This is a celebration open to people of all backgrounds, cultures, faiths, and communities. It is a sacred moment for unity, a time to come together beyond differences and collectively generate positive spiritual vibrations that uplift not only ourselves, but the world at large.
The event will be attended by the Global Head of Chinmaya Mission, Pujya Swami Swaroopananda ji, whose very presence serves as a beacon of inspiration for his followers across generations. The main festivities commence at 4:00 pm, but everyone is encouraged to arrive earlier to participate in the special Hanuman Pooja, explore the vibrant exhibition, enjoy food stalls, and engage in community activities — creating a joyful and inclusive atmosphere for families and friends.
From 4:00 pm to 7 pm, devotees will participate in sacred 108-kund Hanuman Chalisa Havans, accompanied by 5,000 voices chanting the Hanuman Chalisa in unison, generating powerful spiritual vibrations that energise the atmosphere and instil strength, fearlessness, and positivity.
During this time, there will also be special showcase presentations which are creative and uplifting, demonstrating how timeless spiritual wisdom can transform individuals and, through them, the world. There will be fun activities & prizes to be won for children & youth at the Chinmaya stalls, along with variety food stalls & family treats.
This celebration is described by the organisers as more than an event — a call to unity, devotion, and inner transformation. They say it is an opportunity to energise the world with positivity and invite everyone to join a global movement rooted in service, knowledge, and love.
