How are Ramakrishna Mission and Chinmaya Mission different from each other?

 

other?

These two great institutions are pillars of Sanatan Dharm.

Naturally, many Indians admire them as great institutions.

But, they are slightly different .

Ramakrishna Mission : This great mission was established by Swami Vivekanand.

He named it after his Guru Sri Ramakrishna Paramhams, a great mystic.

Swami Vivekanand wanted to serve downtrodden.

Thus, he established Ramakrishna Mission on 1st May 1897.

Service : Ever since, its monks serve the poorest of poor.

They also spread message of Sanatan Dharm through public talks.

It always serves all in every calamity (drought ; accidents etc.)

Chinmay Mission : Swami Chinmayanand established it in 1951.

Guided by his Guru Tapovan Maharaj ; he wanted to teach Vedanta to all.

Chinmaya Mission organizes spiritual retreats across the world.

It also runs many schools and colleges.

It often contributes to social and national causes.

Fact : Ramakrishna Mission is about Karma Yoga ; Chinmay Mission is about Gyana Yoga.

Both were great scholars and selfless human beings.

Prayer : Sri Ganeshaya Namah Sri Guruve Namah !
