Our Guide

Brahmachari Soham Chaitanya was born in a spiritual family devoted to Chinmaya Mission. The opportunity to listen to satsangs from various Swamins and Brahmacharins introduced him to spirituality from a very young age. An engineer by background, Sohamji worked as a Research Engineer in Colorado after graduating with a Masters degree from the University of California Berkeley.

Listening to the Bhagavad Gita discourses by Poojya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji and Ramayana discourses by Poojya Guruji Swami Tejomayanandaji brought him to Sandeepany Sadhanalaya in Mumbai. He completed the 17th Vedanta Course under the guidance of Poojya Swami Swaroopanandaji and under the tutelage of Poojya Swami Bodhatmanandaji.

Prior to joining Sandeepany in 2017, Sohamji served at Chinmaya Mission centers in San Jose, CA and Los Angeles, CA for five years, facilitating youth and adult study groups.

Sohamji loves playing the harmonium, singing bhajans and dwelling on the scriptures which talk about the nature of happiness. Sohamji can be reached at soham@chinmayamission.org
