Geeta Chanting:
Bhagavad Gita:
Review of verses 41 and 46.
Chanted 47 and 48 verses.
Kids were divided into 2 teams (boys and girls) and had a chanting competition. Both the teams performed very well and received treats. Few kids volunteered to chant individually and won two treats. Most of the kids are now able to chant all the six verses. A big thanks to all the parents who are motivating their kids to learn to chant Gita. Please continue to practice these at home.
