Golden Jubilee celebrations
AS PART of its year-long Golden Jubilee celebrations, which will begin from today (January 3), the Chinmaya Mission will organise a host of seminars, workshops, yagnas, exhibitions and study classes, wrapping it up with a national level Quiz for school and college students on the theme, `Awakening Indians to India'.
The prelims for the quiz, which will begin in June, and the finals are likely to extend to January, 2004.
Giving details of the year's activities, K. Vasudevan, Chairman of the Celebrations Committee, said the six seminars during the year would primarily focus on inculcating management skills with a touch of spiritualism. The highlight of the year would be an en-masse Gita chanting by about one lakh children between 5 and 12 years of age on August 5.
Mitrananda, national president of Chinmaya Yuva Kendra, said the Mission would celebrate January 12 as National Youth Day and organise a coastal walk at the Marina.
The line-up of events include a `Bhajan Sandhya' of fusion music at Tamaraipakkam village on January 14, a workshop on parenting for the corporate executives on January 18 by Swaroopananda, a swamiji of the Mission, and a show put together by the Mission's youth wing named `Fifteenth August, 2047'.
Besides, study classes and lecturers by eminent speakers of the Mission on scriptures such as Bhagavatham, Gita and Kathopanishad would be organised.
