SUMMARY:Chinmaya Gita Fest 2024
DESCRIPTION:Srimad Bhagavad Gita is one of the most revered scriptures for all Hindus. This divine song of the Lord teaches us how to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.\n \nIn honor of Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda’s 108th birth year celebration\, GitaFest 2024 event will be held in Chicago on July 6-7\, 2024. It is a national event with participation by children and adults from all Chinmaya Mission centers across USA and Canada.\n \nABOUT GITAFEST: GITAFEST 2024 is developed to incorporate 3 components that will surely enrich our lives- CHANT GITA\, LEARN GITA & LIVE GITA.\n \nSponsorships:\nWe welcome your sponsorships for Prizes and Events.\nUse the link (shown adjacent) for sign-ups.\nPlease follow these steps while signing up to sponsor.\nGo to “Donation Type” and select “Donation for Badri.”\nEnter your information and payment details.\nIn the “Comments Section\,” please mention “GitaFest 2024.” Then add if you are sponsoring for Prizes or Events or both.\n\n\n\n \nCHANT GITA:\nThe Bhagavad Gita Chanting NATIONAL level Chanting Competition (Chapter 4 – Jnanakarma Sannyasa Yoga \, Shlokas 1-42) to be held July 6-7 at Chinmaya Mission Badri\, Willowbrook\, IL.\n \nTop 2 participants from each group (Grade 1-12) from the STATE finals (to be held in May) will qualify to participate in the NATIONALS.\n \nOpen exclusively to Bala Vihar students and members. All the details of the competition can be found here : GitaFest 2024\n \nLEARN GITA:\nOpen to Children and Adults. We learn about the knowledge of Gita through vocabulary\, quizzes\, and games.\n \nMonthly quiz link has been established to kindle interest in knowing the meaning of the verses incorporating fun facts about the Gita.\nLink to the quiz : GitaFest Quiz (Under Resources Section)\nFor vocabulary link:\nMATSYA GROUP: GRADES 1 – 2 Learn thirty words from chapter 4 of Bhagavad Gita.Matsya Group Wordlist\nKURMA GROUP: GRADES 3 – 6 Learn sixty words from chapter 4 of Bhagavad Gita. Kūrma Group Wordlist\nVARAHA GROUP: GRADES 7 – 9\, GRADES 10 – 12 Learn ninety words from chapter 4 of Bhagavad Gita.Varāha Group Wordlist.\n \nLIVE GITA:\nOpen to All. Chinmaya Mission Families from all the centers are encouraged to adopt one of the yajnas mentioned in Chapter 4 of the Bhagavad Gita. This is NOT a competition but Gita Sadhana (spiritual practice)\n \nPer Swami Sharanananda’s guidance\, our Chicago Centers are encouraged to practice vishaya tyaga — “balance or control of the sense objects that bind us.”\nExamples are over usage of cell phones\, Facebook\, Instagram\, bad eating habits\, too much shopping\, too much gossiping\, etc.\nPlease choose one that is an issue for yourself and your children\, and maintain a spiritual diary. The idea is to reduce the time spent on these activities and redirect that energy into a more positive activity. We will continue this sadhana until May 8; the idea is to make it a lifelong practice.

Chinmaya Mission Families from all the centers are encouraged to adopt one of the yajnas mentioned in Chapter 4 of the Bhagavad Gita. This is NOT a competition but Gita Sadhana (spiritual practice)\n \nPer Swami Sharanananda’s guidance\, our Chicago Centers are encouraged to practice vishaya tyaga — “balance or control of the sense objects that bind us.”\n\nExamples are over usage of cell phones\, Facebook\, Instagram\, bad eating habits\, too much shopping\, too much gossiping\, etc.\n\nPlease choose one that is an issue for yourself and your children\, and maintain a spiritual diary. The idea is to reduce the time spent on these activities and redirect that energy into a more positive activity.  We will continue this sadhana until May 8; the idea is to make it a lifelong practice.

SUMMARY:Bone Marrow Drive
DESCRIPTION:South Asian Marrow Initiative (SAMI) \nEvery three minutes\, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer like leukemia. SAMI is a non-profit organization that aims to bridge the gap for South Asian groups that are under-represented in the stem-cell registry. \nSouth Asians only account for 3% of the entire registry\, making it difficult for South Asian patients to find a matching donor. Due to this\, hundreds of thousands of deaths could have been prevented. \n ! Help save a life by enlisting in the registry !
