With great joy we would like to inform you that by the Lord's grace, Pujya Gurudev's blessings, Pujya Guruji's guidance, and the guidance of our Acharyas, CM Alpharetta center has recently acquired property for our Ashram.
The property is 6.5 acres and is located at 10725 Jones Bridge (at the intersection of Jones Br. Road and Morton Road). Currently there is a house on the property.
The initial plan is to fix up the house so that it can be used for small Yagnas, study groups, weekday classes for kids and parents, office, library and residence for visiting Acharyas.
We thank all our CMA families for their support for this 1st step. We look forward to your continued support. We hope it will inspire more devotees to join, benefit from, and spiritually grow through Chinmaya Mission programs.
