Bhagavan Shree Rama was born in Ayodhya which means a place without any conflicts. Let us all create Ayodhya in our hearts during this Chaitra Navratri and welcome Bhagvan Ram on the Navami Day.Once Lord Rama asked Lord Hanuman\, “what is your relationship with me?” and Lord Hanuman answered\, “with reference to your body\, I am Your servant; as an individual soul\, I am part of You as You are the whole; but as the Self we both are one. This is my firm conviction.” There is no other nobler and more inspiring ideal of wisdom\, service\, devotion and humility than Lord Hanuman.  On this blessed day of Shri Hanuman Jayanti\, let us all gather at our Gurukul for puja and sing Hanumanji’s glories by doing the Sundar Kand Path from Tulsi Ramayan.Join us at CMA Gurukul to celebrate Ram Navami & Hanuman Jayanti on March 28th from 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n[sign_up_sheet id=”51436″] URL:https://cmgurukul.org/event/ram-navami-hanuman-jayanti-celebrations/ CATEGORIES:Puja ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cmgurukul.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/RAm-Navami-2026.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260321T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260321T163000 DTSTAMP:20260306T041203Z CREATED:20251215T000345Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260306T041203Z UID:10009259-1774101600-1774110600@cmgurukul.org SUMMARY:Gita Chanting Competition 2026 DESCRIPTION:NOTE: For the competition students will be asked to chant a subset of the verses assigned to their age group.  \n\n\n\nOur annual Gita Chanting competition is scheduled for Saturday March 21st (for children) and TBD (for adults) 2026.  \n\n\n\nThe competition will be conducted in person at the Ashram for children and via Teams for adults. \n\n\n\nIt will be on Chapter 12\, “Yoga of Devotion/Bhakti Yoga”. \n\n\n\nThe verses to be memorized for the competition are as follows:Shishu-KG: Verses 1-81st-2nd grade: Verses 1-113rd-4th grade: Verses 1-145th-6th grade: Verses 1-177th+ grades: Verses 1-20Adults: entire chapter (verses 1-20) \n\n\n\nAdults: entire chapter (verses 1-20)Note: For adults\, there are 2 parts to the challenge: recitation from memory\, and quiz on the meaning.
