Montrose Mandir hosts 2nd Gita recitation

The Montrose Bhakti Bhavan Mandir recently hosted its second Gita recitation competition, which saw participation from both children and adults.
One of the organisers, Pandit Mahadeo Brijmohan, told Guyana Times that the competition was divided into pre-primary to adult-level participants, and saw a total of 32 persons partaking. These persons hailed from Montrose, La Bonne Intention, Success and Enmore on the East Coast of Demerara; Eccles on the East Bank of Demerara and Belle West on the West Bank of Demerara.
The recitation was judged by Guruji Purushotam Shivraj with input from Viraat Sabha President, Pandit Ravi and Yoganand Persaud.
Brijmohan said that they were hoping to make this event a national one by 2021, where all other temples would be invited. Last year, it was piloted for the first time and was dubbed a success.
He said the main purpose of the competition was to encourage Hindus to use the Bhagavad Gita as their hand manual. By the age of 18, a devotee will get the opportunity to study all 18 chapters of Bhagavad.
