Annual Gita Chanting Competition
“Chant Gita- Enchant Krishna”
Chant, Learn & Live Gita is the powerful instruction given by our Pujya Gurudev, Swami Chinamayananda in order to enable us to live a noble and inspired life. Bhagavad Gita chanting and the associated competitions are vehicles for inspiring and motivating children and adults to learn and memorize the sacred verses of Srimad Bhagavad Gita. With the goal of empowering, strengthening and standardizing our programs, we have provided tools and guidelines for all centers to use for their weekly learning and conduction of the periodic chanting competitions.
Chinmaya Mission West centers shall be conducting competitions and events based on karma-sannyāsa-yogaḥ, the fifth chapter of Bhagavad Gita, during the academic year: 2024 – 2025.
As part of the Learn Gita Initiative, all balavihar children will be introduced to key words from chapter 5. Participating centers shall proctor a vocabulary quiz after the Chanting competition or Yajña, in their center, for balavihar students attending Grades 1 – 12. This Quiz shall be based on the Vocabulary lists published for the various grade-groups. Centers are also encouraged to conduct GITA Yuva Talks for Balavihar students attending Grades 10 – 12.
Bhagavad-Gītā chanting instruction to children of all ages is a global Chinmaya Mission Initiative. Chinmaya Centers in the USA and Canada strive to align with the guidelines defined by the Central Chinmaya Mission Trust.
Please contact your local center coordinator for details and participation.
