The Chinfo Channel is the primary YouTube Channel of Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF). The Channel is dedicated to disseminating profound Indic knowledge to audiences worldwide.
CIF is a non-profit organisation established in 1989 and is a research centre for the study of Sanskrit and Indology. A core part of the global Chinmaya Mission, it is focused on the preservation and dissemination/transmission of Indian Knowledge traditions such as Darshana (Philosophy), Sanskrit, Vedanta, Vedic Mathematics, and Indian Management principles.
Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda envisioned CIF as a bridge between East and West, past and present, science and spirituality, and pundit and public. And this he made the Vision statement for CIF. Arising out of this vision statement is ChinfoChannel, through which the various lectures, discourses, and satsangs conducted by CIF will be shared with all aspirants and seekers of spiritual wisdom and teachers and students of Indian philosophy.

Blessed Self,
Hari Om. Salutations.
Greetings from Adi Sankara Nilayam - CIF.
Maha Shivaratri is the sacred night of awakening—when we move from the darkness of ignorance toward the luminous truth of Shiva Tattva. It is a profoundly auspicious time to turn inward, experience the vastness of the universe within, and align ourselves with the infinite energy of creation and dissolution.
Celebrate this holy night at Adi Shankara Nilayam, and invoke the blessings of Lord Shiva upon yourself and your family through devotion, contemplation, and sacred worship.
We are also sharing below the registration link to learn the auspicious Shivananda Lahari—the eternal hymns that help us undulate and immerse in the love of Shiva, composed by Shri Adi Shankaracharya and beautifully facilitated by Swami Advayananda, guiding seekers to fully soak in the Ananda aspect of Shiva Tattva.
Maha Shivaratri Puja Details
Date: Sunday, 15 February 2026
Time: 10:00 PM IST onwards
Venue: Adi Shankara Nilayam
The night-long worship coincides with the most auspicious period of Nisha Kala Puja, traditionally observed during Maha Shivaratri.

Hamsa Gita
Hamsa-gita, also known as Uddhava-gita, consists of Shri Krishna’s final discourse to Uddhava before Shri Krishna draws His avatara to completion. Shri Dattatreya, whom Shri Krshna quotes in the Hamsa-gita, has gained enlightenment by observing the world. He found 24 instructors, who taught Him the futility of mundane attachments, the benefits of contemplation and forbearance, and a path towards the realisation of the Supreme. This album contains discourses by Swami Ramakrishnananda, Chinmaya Mission Nagapattinam, recorded during the online yajna for Chinmaya Mission Northwest Indiana in October 2020. About the Speaker: Swami Ramakrishnananda, a master teacher, orator with a very humorous style, has been very popular with the young and the old alike. Swamiji is very passionate about Advaita Vedanta and Sanskrit, and is the author of the famous Sulabha Samskrtam (Easy Sanskrit) course offered by CIF.

About Camp Facilitator
Swami Advaitananda was born in Khargaon and brought up in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. He pursued a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering in Indore and later completed his graduation from Bilaspur Engineering College.
Inspired by Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda and Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda, he joined the Sandeepany Himalayas in Sidhbari, Himachal Pradesh, to study Vedantic scriptures in depth for 2 years in 1989 under the tutelage of Swami Subodhananda. Subsequently he has been serving at various Chinmaya Mission centres all over the world. He received Sannyasa Diksha in 2002.
Currently serving at Nashik, Swamiji has travelled to many countries like USA, South Africa, Singapore, Kuwait and Bahrain enthralling the audience with his lucid lectures – be it on the deep and profound topics of Vedanta or the divine nectarine devotional texts in Hindi, Marathi and English.
As Acharya, Swamiji has guided the students of two Vedanta courses in Hindi (at Sidhbari) and one in English (at Mumbai).
A writer and composer himself, Swamiji’s rendition of bhajans is melodious and captivating, indeed a treat for listeners.

Hari Om!
Begin the year 2026 on an auspicious note by gifting yourself—and your loved ones—the joy of spiritual wisdom.
Join the Saundarya Lahari webinar Part 4 ( Ananda Lahari ) facilitated by Swami Sharadananda Saraswati of Chinmaya International Foundation, where he beautifully explains the deeper meaning and spiritual significance of this sacred hymn.
The Ananda Lahari (Wave of Bliss) reveals the dynamic, energetic aspect of Brahman as Shakti. In these verses Adi Sankara maps the inner practices, meditative attitudes and subtle powers that prepare the seeker’s heart for direct experience. Studying this section equips the aspirant with a framework for inward enquiry and devotional receptivity.
A wonderful opportunity to start the year with clarity, devotion, and grace.

Greetings on the sacred occasion of Gita Jayanti.
The timeless declared itself in time on this day, bringing healing to the troubled mind of humanity, represented by Arjuna. Through the divine dialogue between Lord Sri Krishna and the earnest seeker, the veil of confusion was lifted, revealing the strength, clarity and courage that lie within every human heart.
In a world that often overwhelms, the Bhagavad Gita reminds that peace is possible, clarity is attainable and true freedom is found within.
May its eternal light illumine every mind and awaken every heart.🙏🏼🪷
