CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, December 2, 2007: The Chinmaya Mission Chicago unveiled its newest center, Yamunotri, this weekend. Located on seven acres at 30877 N. Fairfield Road in unincorporated Lake County. Yamunotri is a spiritual organization dedicated to bringing maximum happiness to maximum people for the maximum time, said Yamunotri member Deepak Mansukhani. The new religious school and shrine, which is named after one of the four sacred places in India, will serve more than 200 suburban families. Yamunotri is the second center in Illinois, with the other in Hinsdale. “Having this place is like having our own home,” Padmaja Sanaka said, echoing the sentiments of many Hindus Sunday. “We can have functions where whenever we want. And I can keep my children attached to the Hindu culture.”
