Bringing Indian spiritualism to Trinidad

Article - March 21, 2014
The colorful Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago has a number of interesting cultural events to draw the international tourists, such the Tobago Jazz Experience. The Minister of Tourism Chandresh Sharma hopes to bring a variety of new conferences and international cultural events – adding to the country’s appeal in order to diversify and expand foreign tourist arrivals
MINISTER OF TOURISM CHANDRESH SHARMA AND SWAMI PRAKASHANANDA OF THE CHINMAYA MISSION
One such event that he cares passionately about is the Chinmaya Mission camps. Running from July 29th to August 3rd, the mission camps will bring a taste of Indian Chinmaya culture, mysticism, spiritualism and yoga to the shores of the Trinidad. “This is one of the largest conventions we have ever had in TT, we are expecting around 700 people from different countries.  

In addition to hosting a great event this is a great opportunity to expose the country internationally and bring more tourists to TT,” says the Minister.
 
East Indian culture in particular has taken strong roots in Trinidad and Tobago. All the main Hindu festivals are celebrated here; Trinidad also boasts many beautiful Hindu temples and pilgrimages. The largest and tallest murti of Shri Hanumanji outside India stands tall and awe inspiring here in Trinidad. 
 
The Chinmaya Mission camps aim to introduce new Mission members to the beauty and vastness of the Chinmaya Family, to meet like-minded  persons and share ideas in the spirit of satsang and teamwork, and to dive into the timeless wisdom of Advaita Vedanta, which teaches universal Oneness.
 
A family camp is designed to develop and strengthen our faith and spiritual values in multiple ways. One, by bringing families together in a setting in which kids see their parents involved and having fun. Second, is by being with peers who share spiritual values. A third is by seeing other families who value their faith and have integrated it into the family’s life.
