Participation Tips

• Listen to the practice audio/video with the lyrics in hand and listen again and again. In a short time, you will become intimate with the Chapter.
• Sanskrit is the language for chanting the Gita. Please pay close attention to pronunciation and clarity of articulation as you practice.
• Presentation: The ‘Presentation’ aspect of the Gita Chanting competition is evaluated on two key attributes – Dress and Attitude.
• Dress: Preferably, the participants should wear traditional Indian dress. Other attire is acceptable as long as it is appropriate for a spiritual/prayer activity.
• Attitude: Participants should adopt a respectful and prayerful attitude during the entire chanting session (entry, chanting and exit).
