An Appeal from Chinmaya Mission, Madurai..

                                                            

                           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.
