10/24 – Chinmaya Mission Kansas City to Host Bhoomi Puja for Chinmaya Guruvayur Ashram — A Sacred Milestone for the Community

A new spiritual chapter begins in Kansas City!

Join Chinmaya Mission Kansas City (CMKC) for the Bhoomi Puja of Chinmaya Guruvayur Ashram on Friday, October 24, 2025 (9:00–10:30 AM) at 15334 S Pflumm Rd, Olathe, KS — in the divine presence of Swami Aparajitananda.

This landmark event marks the start of CMKC’s long-cherished dream — building an ashram to serve as a home for knowledge, devotion, and community growth. Even if you cannot attend, you can still be part of this beautiful vision by contributing toward the Ashram’s construction. Every donation strengthens our shared legacy.

Let’s come together as one community — to honor our roots, enrich our children’s future, and help this divine mission blossom.
