Chinmaya Vanaprastha is the senior citizens wing of Chinmaya Mission uniting people over 55 years of age. It assists and trains householders and near-retirees (vanaprasthis) to make a smoother and easier transition from life in grhasta ashrama to life in vanaprastha ashrama. Its motto is: Graceful Aging through Spiritual Living.
Chinmaya Mission Chicago organizes monthly meetings for Vanaprastha, sometimes online and sometimes live.
“Graceful
aging doesn’t happen in a few days, weeks, or months. It is a long process, but if followed, its rewards are great indeed. Grace comes only when we start living a beautiful, spiritual life. Otherwise, the days merely come and go.
Conscious living, in remembrance of the Lord, is how we must make our lives meaningful, joyful, and a blessing to ourselves and others. This is called graceful aging.”
H. H. Swami Tejomayananda (from Art of Graceful Ageing)
