CELEBRATING 75 YEARS OF CHINMAYA MISSION
In 2026, we will mark a historic milestone – 75 years of Chinmaya Mission’s divine service. To honor this occasion, we are organizing the largest Hanuman Havan ever held in Seattle – a spiritual and cultural offering that brings together 2,000 devotees in an unforgettable experience of faith, devotion, and unity.
Join 108 blessed families, each seated around a dedicated grand havan kund, offering sacred prayers to Lord Hanuman.
WHY A HANUMAN HAVAN?
Hanuman represents selfless service, fearlessness, and devotion to truth – values Chinmaya Mission lives by. This Yagna is not just a ritual, but a symbol of national and spiritual upliftment – bringing the community together in a powerful vibration of peace and purpose.
