GEETHA CHANTING COMPETITION FOR SCHOOL STUDENTS
AN
APPEAL
Dear Sir / Madam:
Hari Om…Greetings
from Chinmaya Mission, Madurai.
Madurai Chinmaya Mission is
conducting Geetha Chanting Competition for various school students in and
around Madurai for the past 15 years. In all these years school children
numbering more than 95,000 were given training to chant Geetha Slokas of
various chapters and prizes are distributed to the winners. Many schools send more
number of entries. As a matter of surprise not only the children learn about
Geetha but also their parents come to know about the Geetha slokas to see that
their children get prizes. That means in addition to 95,000 children 1,90,000
parents also understood the idea about Geetha and incidentally about our
culture and tradition.
The man power to organize the
competition at the preliminary level, at the selection level and at the final
level a huge number is provided by the Chinmaya Mission through voluntary
services of Chinmaya Mission Devi group, Yuva Kendra members, Sanskrit
professors and Lecturers from Educational Institutions and many spiritual
people drawn from across the society.
However, money power is also very
important for organizing these events. The competitors are provided with
necessary coaching materials, certificate of participation, presentation of
prizes, providing lunch, tea, biscuits etc., for more than 1500 persons during
final day competitions. All these need money and provided by many good hearted
philanthropists, pious and religious minded persons.
May I take this opportunity to
request your good self to help for conducting the Geetha Chanting Competition
to inculcate the values of Hindu philosophy in the young minds. The school
level competition starts from the month of June and this year the final level competition
will be held in October 2013 at Sethupati Higher Secondary School, Madurai.
Your help will go in a long way in spreading the spiritual message of Geetha.
With best wishes
and Hari Om.
