Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is this really a competition and won't the children get stressed out by it?

A: It is important to emphasize that the only goal here is to introduce the children to the world of the Geeta. Therefore, anyone who participates is already a winner and we give medals to all the participants. At the same time, we also recognize the top performers in each age group. As long as the goal and spirit of the event are properly explained to the children, they will not be stressed by it. Q: If the children don't know the meaning of the verses, is there any point in chanting?

A: Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda has composed a little couplet in Sanskrit that elegantly answers this question, See his quotation on the right. The English translation is - 'From this recitation of the Bhagavad Geeta arises the desire to know its meaning, which in time matures into Knowledge that results in total f ulfillment.' As he explains, what is memorized today may spark a search for knowledge tomorrow or sometime in the future. When that happens, the knowledge will then stand them in good stead.
