Chinmaya Slokanjali

Chinmaya Slokanjali – CMSD’s Self-paced Sloka competition for children

Chinmaya Slokanjali was announced on May 8, 2011 as part of the five-year centenary celebrations of our Pujya Gurudev. The aim of this program is to encourage children to memorize and correctly chant selected slokas and stotrams from our Slokanjali book. CMSD’s Chinmaya Slokanjali is a self-paced program and the slokas are grouped into levels according to difficulty.

The tentative schedule is to complete
Level 1 by May 8, 2012
Level 2 by May 8, 2013
Level 3 by May 8, 2014
Level 4 by May 8, 2015
Level 5 by May 8, 2016

Testing will be done bimonthly by a select team of judges. Registered participants may sign up to test for as many slokas as they are prepared. It is important to be well-prepared before signing up for testing. They will have to repeat testing if there are errors.Those who complete Level 1 may register for Level 2 (earliest is January 2012). Children who complete the 5 levels in 5 years ending on May 8, 2016 will be the recipients of the grand award.
