Library

The purpose of Chinmaya mission library is to provide CMB members and their families a place to reach out for resources and references to enrich their lives for spiritual growth and understanding of the rich Hindu culture, and for the study of scriptures.

The library provides a quiet place for adults to read several books. Kids enjoy reading Bala vihar monthly magazines, comics or play puzzles and games with their friends. Library provides two computers with headphones that are used to play audio and video resources in the library such as Bhagavad Geeta discourses.
