Gita Challenge – Day 1
Hare Krishna dear children!
Today our Gita Challenge starts with Chapter 1 of Bhagavad Gita As It Is by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Our commitment is to read all the Sanskrit Shlokas of Chapter 1. They have so much spiritual potency! If you feel inspired, you may also read the translation of each verse. Or you can read the summary of this chapter which we are attaching here.
Additionally, we will focus on Verse 1.1 as it is presented for children in “Bhagavad Gita, An Illustrated Introduction” by disciples and grand-disciples of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
Check out the coloring page which will help you remember Today’s Verse. You can even try to memorize it.
During this month devotees go out and increase their efforts to spread the mercy by distributing transcendental knowledge through Srila Prabhupada’s books. It is called the Book Marathon. So, it would be really great to also be part of it by trying to give at least one book every day. You can gift it to your extended family or friends. Maybe together with you parents, approach someone in the park or on the street? Be sure to stay safe though!
Good luck in the Gita Challenge!

Cintamani Krishna – The Opulence of Vrindavana
Isn’t it wonderful how devotees always have some special day to celebrate and serve Krishna? Sri Krishna Pusya Abhisek is the first major festival of the year. Srila Prabhupada explained in a letter that “Krishna was just a toy in the hands of the Gopis, so one day the Gopis decided that ‘we shall decorate Him’.
Every year on this day, the deities are bathed in hundreds of kilos of colourful and fragrant flowers in a beautiful abhisek. The deities of Sri Sri Radha Madhava are also offered a stunning dress made out of multi-coloured flowers. Each year, the flower dress has its own unique design and flower choices.
Even without going to the temple, we can celebrate this festival at home and bring pleasure to Sri Sri Radha Madhava, by offering them a flower dress. We will be sharing a picture of Radha Madhava, which you can decorate with flower petals. If you don’t have flowers at hand, you can make some paper petals from different colours and use those instead. Don’t forget, Krishna accepts the love with which we try to serve Him. He even accepted banana peels from Vidura, because he offered them with so much devotion.
