The Chinmaya Mission, whose global Sammelan was opened in New Delhi, was founded by whom?
- A.Swami Vivekananda
- B.Swami Sivananda
- C.Eknath Ranade
- D.Swami Chinmayananda
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Swami Chinmayananda, the sage who founded the Chinmaya Mission and whose work the Amrit Mahotsav celebrates. He began the Gita Gyana Yagna to carry the Upanishads, Vedanta and the scriptures to ordinary people, and his radio talks on the art of man making reached a wide audience. Option A is wrong because Swami Vivekananda belongs to an earlier era, though the Mission's founder did travel to Chicago for the centenary of Vivekananda's address at the Parliament of the World's Religions. Option B is wrong because Swami Sivananda was the Guru of the Mission's founder and blessed him with the words go and roar like a lion, but he did not found this Mission. Option C is wrong because Eknath Ranade led the building of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial at Kanyakumari, a project the Mission's founder supported with the first contribution.
