It has been over a year already since Brni. Jyotiji joined us in July 2021, and we trust that you are taking advantage of the various Satsangs she conducts both online and in person.  You can access the schedule of the satsangs here (Brni. Jyotiji Satsangs).  We also had a successful in-person Labor Day camp by Swami Prakashanandaji, with the highest participation.

 As you are aware, expenses of Niketan continue but thanks to your generosity in the past year, our building loan debt is reduced $300,000 from over $500,000. We are looking to improve the entrance and roadside appeal of Chinmaya Niketan by replacing the current analog sign with a digital one.  The current events and celebrations can be displayed on this digital sign.  We need at least $140,000 to support this project and for the continuing operational expenses to balance the budget. 

 If you can be generous, we can aim to make bank debt to zero this year.  As you are aware, we are a 501(c)(3) organization, and all donations are tax deductible.  

 Our humble pranams and gratitude to all the patrons who have donated in the past years, and we urge your continued support. There are plenty of ways to support your Chinmaya Niketan. You can either make a one-time donation or choose to pledge an amount to be donated over 2 – 5 years.  Make a monthly payment by “Automatic deduction”. Out of about 120 families enrolled, we have less than 10 who have signed up for monthly automatic deductions.  Even if are unable to make a big donation, you can sign up for at least $1 – 5 a day.  The AUTHORIZATION FORM FOR AUTOMATIC RECURRING PAYMENTS IS ATTACHED.
