Chinmaya Mission Pledge

 

 

We stand as one family bound to each other with love and respect.

We serve as an army courageous and disciplined

ever ready to fight against all low tendencies and false values

within and without us.

We live honestly the noble life of sacrifice and service

producing more than what we consume and giving more than what we take.

We seek the Lord's grace to keep us on the path of

virtue, courage and wisdom.

May Thy grace and blessings flow through us

to the world around.

We believe that the service of our country

is the service of the Lord of Lord's

and the devotion to the people is the devotion to the Supreme Self.

We know our responsibilities,

give us the ability and courage to fulfill them.

OM TAT SAT

(In an inspired mood Puya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda spontaneously dictated this pledge at a conference of Chinmaya Mission Workders in the summer of 1962 at Ernakulum. He said that this pledge would act as a guide to all Mission Members and to the people in general.)
