Chinmaya Geeta Fest 2016

All Mumbai Final

Chinmaya Geeta Fest 2016, was a mammoth task spearheaded by the Acharya in charge, Br. Ved Chaitanyaji, where there were 14000 participants for Geeta Chanting & around 250 participants for all the other competitions in Mumbai. Br Vedji briefed us at the start of the year the idea & importance of all the competitions of the Chinmaya Geeta Fest; trained all the zonal coordinators, sevaks, sevikas & interested parents. Volunteers from the zones contacted schools in their respective areas & started teaching the students or teachers as required. The preliminary round competition was conducted in various schools & those selected participated in the Area level finals in the respective zones. Certificates of participation were given to all participants at all levels. Certificates of Appreciation were given to all participating schools & individually to the teachers who helped in coordinating the competitions in their respective schools.

The highlight of this year’s competition was the introduction of G & H groups for young adults & adults respectively. Adults upto 60 years of age participated with as much enthusiasm, eagerness & competitiveness as the children.

The All Mumbai Final of Chinmay Geeta 2016 took place on December 11, 2016 at our Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, Powai under the able guidance of Br. Ved Chaitanyaji. There were approximately 900 participants across all age groups from the 16 areas of Mumbai. Two sessions were organised – groups D, E, F, G & H in the morning session & groups A, B & C in the afternoon session.

The volunteers present that day helped organise the crowd of participants, their relatives & also took care of the judges. Special thanks to the Chinmaya Mission members from Mulund & Dombivli who came as judges for the final!

During the morning session, accompanying relatives of participants gathered at Saraswati Nilayam to witness live, the final round of the Geeta Quiz at All Mumbai level. The morning participants & their accompanying relatives were provided with lunch.

The afternoon session had the accompanying relatives engrossed in the talk on ‘Parenting’ by Dr Sunita Shankar held especially for them in Saraswati Nilayam. Participants & relatives were provided with snacks & tea.

All Geeta Chanting participants were judged & prizes were distributed by Br Yuktji, Brni Sandhyaji, Br Vedji, Shri Bharat Shah & Shri Mukul Patel at the end of each session for the respective groups.

Prizes were also distributed for all the other competitions, which were conducted as part of the Geeta Fest this year namely - Geeta Quiz, Article writing, Geeta Tweets, Video Clip making & Elocution.

Best school trophies for enthusiastic participation were given to schools with more than 200 registrations by way of appreciation for the role played by them.

This Chinmaya Geeta Fest 2016 surely became a great finale of Chinmaya Birth Centenary Celebrations; carrying the message of the Bhagawad Geeta & Pujya Gurudev to many families in Mumbai.
