Chinmaya Gita Samarpanam

Global record-breaking chanting offered in gratitude

As part of the Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav honouring 75 years of the Chinmaya Movement, Chinmaya Mission invites people across the world to chant Chapter 15 of the Bhagavad Gita together on 9 May 2026 at 8:30 PM IST (7 AM PT, 9 AM CT, 10 AM ET, 3 PM GMT). It marks a Guinness World Record attempt that brings more than 108,000 voices together in a rising chorus of gratitude.

For Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda, the Gita was a living guide, and his commentary on the Holy Geeta made its message accessible to seekers everywhere. He taught Chapter 15 as a direct pointer to the Self, offering its clarity to anyone ready to reflect. Chinmaya Gita Samarpanam invites seekers to approach this chapter with sincerity and fill the world with the vibrations and words of the Lord’s song.
