Slokathon

Slokathon is a self-paced program that teaches children how to correctly chant several important scriptural verses. It is a compilation of more than 250 famous slokas from the Hindu scriptures in praise of the Guru and various Hindu deities. It also includes texts such as Bhaja Govindam and 100 selected verses from the Bhagavad Gita. The slokas are grouped in sections.

Participants will need to purchase a Slokathon book and audio cassettes or CDs, which are available at the bookstore at Saaket. Children can listen to the cassette/CD while reading from the book at the same time. They are also given a plaque with their picture and designated spots for stickers which are awarded upon completion of each section. The goal is to encourage the children to learn to chant the slokas so that they will be inspired to understand the meaning and value of these verses when they grow up.

Currently classes are held at Saaket from 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM to teach the slokas. Please contact the Slokathon coordinator for further details.
