At Chinmaya Mission Seattle, caring for the environment is woven into our spiritual practice. As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, we use only reusable tableware and cutlery to serve Prasad during our weekly Sunday sessions and all Special Events. After every gathering, the tableware is washed, dried, and stored with love and care.
To make this sustainable effort a shared joy, each Bala Vihar class—students, teachers, and parents—is assigned a month to serve as “Kitchen Warriors.” This hands-on service naturally involves our entire congregation and transforms a simple task into a lively, laughter-filled time of singing, teamwork, and togetherness. Through this collective effort, we not only reduce waste but also strengthen our bonds as a community rooted in service.
