During the Ganpati festival, a Shloka Recitation Competition was organised in our Pre-Primary section. Shlokas are couplets in Sanskrit with deep moral and spiritual value. They are usually composed of two lines, and sometimes four, and are often recited in praise of God, nature, and righteous living. Many shlokas convey important life values and serve as guiding principles for a happy, peaceful, and disciplined life.
The competition aimed not only to enhance memory, pronunciation, and confidence among young learners but also to instil in them respect for our rich cultural heritage. In today’s fast-changing modern world, such activities help children stay connected to their roots while confidently embracing contemporary learning.
The recitation was highly appreciated by the judges. A special highlight of the event was when one student surprised everyone by melodiously singing the shlokas on stage, creating a devotional atmosphere. The judges applauded the sincere efforts of the Pre-Primary students and congratulated all the winners.
Through this competition, children learnt to chant different shlokas, understood their meanings, and realised the importance of preserving our traditions while growing with modern values. The programme beautifully reflected the thought of moving ahead with time without forgetting our cultural roots.
Shlokas Recited:
- “प्रणम्य शिरसा देवं गौरीपुत्रं विनायकम्
भक्तावासं स्मरेनित्यं आयुः सर्वकामार्थसिद्धये ॥” “उडाला उडाला कपि तो उडाला”
“नेत्री दोन हिरे प्रकाश परे,
अत्यंत ते साजिरे॥”“माझा शेंदूर पांढर वरा बरे,
दुर्वांकुरांचे तुरे ॥”
