Chinmaya Yuva Kendra
"We Believe that the service of our country is the service of the Lord
of Lords and Devotion to the people is the devotion to the Supreme Self."
Why serve?
Service is of two kinds. One is the act of service and other is the spirit of service. In CHYK we engage in both as we believe that one without the other is incomplete. Through all our projects, programmes, knowledge sessions and activities we internalize and express the spirit of service.
We contribute to the service of :
a. Country, Culture & Community
b. Cause, Effect & Beyond.
c. Creation, Creature, Creator
d. Children, Youth & Adults
We serve Knowledge, Love & Happiness through our efforts which are to eradicate the root cause of all problems in the society - Ignorance and lack of selflessness. Through our regular classes, dynamic camps, cultural performances, national programmes etc. we inspire youth to have a higher vision, devotion for the country and culture and live lives of inspiration serving as an example for others around them.
We also have medical centres, orphanages, hospitals, villages where regular service is rendered by the youth. Eg. Anant Free Medical Centre in Tamaraipakkam in Chennai where thousands of villagers are treated in medical camps held on every sunday.
Youth from India and abroad take time off and serve for a few months in CORD - Chinmaya Organisation for Rural Development. They serve in the villages of Himachal Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Orissa etc.
When the Nation faces crisis like Kargil war, Tsunami, Gujarat and Latur earth quakes, Orissa Cyclone we have taken up various service projects like relief measures in calamities, long term rehabilitation, counselling etc.
As Chyks we feel very privileged and honored to serve because it provides us with an opportunity to learn about ourselves and how we can utilize our full potential for the benefit of all.
Chyks work to touch the lives of those around them. At some point in time, we all realize that we want to do something that truly makes a difference, something that helps someone in their search for unending joy.
Service is the perfect way to discover what you’re capable of and make it count!
Chyk presents to you ‘Serve and Deserve’ – a rare opportunity for you to Do what you love, unleash your true potential and touch the lives of others by working for a cause! The reward-finding joy in each day that you live! And what more?
If taking up a fulltime work is difficult, you can even benefit out of it, on a voluntary basis. We also provide internships in certain areas.
