  Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF). Soundarya Lahari: Mambalam Sisters The Saundarya Lahari Camp Part 5 held at Chinmaya International Foundation from 12 to 16 May 2026 was a deeply elevating and transformative experience for the campers. The camp saw participation of 63 seekers from across India and different parts of the world. 44 campers were new participants reflecting the growing enthusiasm for the study of Shakta and Vedantic traditions.

The first three days were beautifully enriched by chanting sessions on the Shyamala...
