Brahmachari Eric completed Chinmaya Mission's two-year, residential Vedanta course in Mumbai in September 2007, under the tutelage of Pujya Guruji, the Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide. Now posted at CMW's Headquarters, "Krishnalaya," in Piercy, California, he looks forward to serving the Mission in different capacities, and feels blessed to be posted in the ashram where Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda spent so much time.
