Across the country, there are already people who have undergone a personal transformation and are, even now, working in various areas for the progress of the Nation. These are people who did not wait for policies to change, for mind- sets to change, for governments to change. They did not blame the Universe for their lot in life but instead took what they had and shaped it into something beautiful. On this occasion, Chinmaya Mission Kolkata chose to recognize the achievements of some of these ‘Real Transformers’, people who epitomize the ideals of Transforming Indians to Transform India. Here’s a brief upon each of these ‘Great Indians’ who where felicitated by the Swamijis and various heads of industry.

This was followed by the book launch by Mr. Sundaram. He also spoke about the importance of every Indian awakening and contributing to the country’s progress. Then special guest Lt. Gen. Bhargava spoke for a few minutes stressing upon the point that if everyone does what they are supposed to do, our country will progress. After that, Swami Chidrupanandaji gave a fiery speech – he lamented that most Indians today have no pride in their country and its glorious heritage. He said that patriotism born out of in-depth knowledge of our culture is true patriotism. He encouraged everyone to gain in-depth knowledge about India’s culture and traditions. This would not only make them patriotic but also make them sensitive towards entire humanity. It is only through transforming ourselves can we think transforming the country we inhabit.

‘Transforming oneself will transform India’. This was the motto with which the book ‘Transforming Indians to Transform India’ was released, kicking off the three-year birth centenary celebrations of Swami Chinmayananda Saraswati , founder of the Chinmaya Mission, here on Saturday.
Born on May 8, 1916, Swami Chinmayananda founded the Chinmaya Mission centre that has more than 300 branches all over the world. A nationwide family quiz, seminars in every district of the country and widespread rallies culminating in 2015, will mark the birth centenary celebrations spread over a period of three years.
The book, which was released by Swami Mitrananda, acharya of Chinmaya Mission Chennai, director of the All India Chinmaya Yuva Kendra, the Global Youth Wing of the Chinmaya Missions, illustrates how one can transform one’s country by first making transformations of oneself with seven short stories. “We carry that which we don’t need, burdening our country. Transforming ourselves will lead to a total transformation of the country. The book contains seven different ways to transform oneself – physical, emotional, cultural, spiritual, patriotic, intellectual and by developing a unique outlook,” he said.
The three-year movement will see a nationwide family quiz on all things India and Indian, while the second year will have seminars conducted across numerous districts on the topic of transforming oneself and the various ways one can do it, concentrating on the transformation of one’s health. The final year of the movement will see rallies conducted by volunteers and members of the Chinmaya Mission, starting from different points in the country. The last date for the registration for the quiz is January 31 and the national finals will be held in August, 2013.
