The adult study group is a unique method of spiritual advancement offered by Chinmaya Mission. Participants study the text on their own, following the prescribed commentary as a guide and then share their own thoughts and reflections when the group meets. In Pujya Gurudev's own words - "mere listening will not add to your beauty. These ideas are to be reflected upon deeply and digested slowly. This process is hastened only when you discuss what you have studied with others. Study groups constitute the heart of our mission. The ideas gathered by you, when discussed with others, not only become deeply rooted in yourself, but as they become clearer in your own understanding, they also inspire those who listen to you. Thus each student, while trying to strengthen his own understanding can become an instrument for the spread of this knowledge. This process is the dynamic study scheme followed in the Vedantic tradition."

Multiple study groups are currently in progress as listed below.
