The Chinmaya Mission Bhagavad Geeta Chanting Competition

Pune, Maharashtra | 25th August, 2025

Sanskrit, one of the world’s oldest and most scientific languages, is often referred to as the “mother of all languages” since many modern Indian and foreign tongues trace their roots back to it. The language of our ancient scriptures—the Vedas, Upanishads, Ramayana, and Mahabharata—Sanskrit holds timeless wisdom on life, values, science, and philosophy.

In order to instil the significance of this ancient cultural heritage among today’s technology-driven youth, an Inter-School Geeta Chanting Competition was organised by Chinmaya Mission at our school on Monday, 25th August, 2025, for students from the Pre-primary section to the higher classes.

The Chinmaya Mission Bhagavad Geeta Chanting Competition was a spiritual endeavour aimed at spreading the teachings and relevance of the Bhagavad Geeta amongst participants and the larger community. The event encouraged students not only to appreciate the scripture’s philosophical depth but also to apply its teachings in their everyday lives.

Participants were required to recite selected verses from the Geeta with precision in pronunciation and intonation. They were evaluated on parameters such as clarity of expression, vocal presentation (Lay–Taal), pronunciation, memory, and overall impact.

The competition proved to be an enlightening and inspiring experience, fostering spiritual awareness and cultural pride among students. It served as a platform for young learners to strengthen their connection with India’s ancient wisdom while gaining a deeper appreciation of the Bhagavad Geeta’s eternal teachings.
