Maximum Miles, Maximum Smiles

Why would a Brahmachari run 26.2 miles? Not by first choice, I must admit! 😂

I do it…

For Chinmaya Mission; a global spiritual organisation dedicated to spreading the timeless wisdom of Advaita Vedanta, guiding individuals toward self-realisation and a life of inner peace. Every step of my training and the marathon is in service to its noble cause.

For the Lord; using the instruments He has given me for His service, dedicating every ounce of my effort to Him.

For our Gurus; who selflessly pour every moment of their lives, every bit of their energy, into uplifting society. Who spare no hardship in their mission to share the liberating message of Vedanta with the entire world. Whose love embraces us in their vision; whose warmth and compassion allows us to feel we are contributing to their work.

For our sevaks; who serve with unwavering inspiration, passion and dedication, bringing Pujya Gurudev, Swami Chinmayananda’s vision to life.

For future generations and the broader community; so they too can experience the transformative power of Vedanta and live lives of joy, fulfilment, and peace.

And yes, for myself; the person who would do almost anything to avoid running— who at school, did everything to avoid cross-country running. This marathon is about training the mind, overcoming physical limits, and offering all I can in the service of a cause much greater than myself.

Maximum Miles, Maximum Smiles! 😊
