The Vision

Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji firmly believed that an ethical, dynamic and progressive world of tomorrow was possible only if dedicated effort is made in moulding the children in their attitudes, values, ideas and ideals. And He invested every moment of His time on the need to expose the young ones to the Vedantic wisdom encapsulated in Srimad Bhagavad Geeta.

Towards this end, as a preliminary but crucial step, Pujya Gurudev wanted them to master the art of chanting the Holy Geeta at an early stage in life, so that they can relate effortlessly, when the time becomes ripe for understanding and applying the values contained therein.

The Inspiration

The Geeta was Swami Chinmayananda’s life breath. He wanted the Lord’s Song to echo among people of all ages and across all continents. He envisioned the chanting competitions as an introduction to a life-long friendship with the Geeta with the progressive strategy to CHANT-STUDY-KNOW-LIVE the Geeta. Children, parents, and grandparents have thus been encouraging each other to participate in this healthy competition, of which the underlying goal is spiritual evolution.

This competition is just to introduce students to this great cultural heritage of our nation, which in due course, as they grow up to become responsible citizens, will inspire them to understand philosophy of Universal Brotherhood through this Song-Divine.

We are sure you would certainly like to be a part of this mission of Nation–Building, by extending your best cooperation.

Inspired by His grand vision, Chinmaya Mission has been undertaking this glorious project every year, so as to ensure that the timeless values contained in the Holy Geeta are disseminated meaningfully to the maximum number for maximum time. Started in 1989 under the watchful guidance of Pujya Gurudev, the Geeta Chanting Competition has become an important annual project of all Chinmaya Mission centers across the world. Through this project, we touch the lives of over half-a-million children, as well as their families, across the globe and play a crucial role in the preservation of the rich heritage and culture of Bharat, by strengthening the spiritual edifice of the younger generation.

Chinmaya Mission Vadodara’s Initiative

Chinmaya Mission Vadodara has been conducting Chinmaya Geeta Chanting Competition locally under the guidance of Swami Deveshanandaji since 1999. Over the decade more than 150 schools have participates every year in this divine program.
