“Know that Yuva Kendra is the bow, and a pure mind is the sharpened arrow. Your goal should be (knowledge of) the Self and welfare of the world. Like the arrow (that hits its target), may you become one with the goal.” (Swami Tejomayananda)

We are the Pittsburgh chapter of Chinmaya Yuva Kendra West, the North American youth branch of Chinmaya Mission, an organization dedicated to sharing the wisdom of Vedanta with the world. We strive to better ourselves and the lives of others through critical study (satsang), service (seva), and the application of Vedantic principles.

Our chapter consists of undergraduates, graduate students, and working professionals from the Pittsburgh area. We meet every Sunday afternoon in the Cathedral of Learning, located on the University of Pittsburgh’s lower campus. If you are interested in joining us as we pursue our study of Vedanta, please email us at chykpittsburgh@gmail.com, or visit our Contact page to reach our members. You can also find us on Facebook.
