The High Commission and Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre in Georgetown, Guyana was delighted to collaborate with Chinmaya Mission, #Guyana, in successfully organizing Srimad Bhagwadgita chanting competition. It was heartening to witness young children and youth chanting shlokas from Chapter 5 of Bhagwadgita at the Award Ceremony hosted on 20 July 2025.
It underlines the deep cultural connection between Guyana and Bharat through our shared heritage and the strong desire in Guyana and India to preserve and reinforce our strong cultural and people to people ties.
We wish all the very best to our young Guyanese brothers and sisters who participated in this initiative and within a few months demonstrated their mastery in Shloka chanting and appreciation of our shared tradition.
Coinciding with the event, the High Commission also informed the gathering about the forthcoming 'International Gita Mahotsav' scheduled at #Kurukshetra, #Haryana from 15 November to 5 December 2025 and informed about various cultural events planned on the sidelines of this international event. The event also included photographic display of important religious sites in and around Kurukshetra- the place where Lord Krishna had recited Gita to Arjuna, promoting tourism in India amongs Guyanese community.
