Gita Champions League

Introduction
Purpose of Gita Champions League (GCL)

Our children are our future. We need to protect them, nourish and
develop their minds to help them walk the path of leadership. Even a
superficial analysis of the variety of exposures a child receives
today, is enough to scare us about their future. Childrens minds are
like sponges that can absorb anything dropped into it. The television,
movies and the internet together expose the child to violence,
pornography and insanity that the child can easily get influenced and
succumb.

The solution is to give a positive and morale-boosting exposure to the

children, help them remain focused; assist them in taking ethical
decisions, empower them to think with a balanced mind. As there is a
hidden Arjuna in every child. We should be able to search that Arjuna
in the child and allow him to grow. This can be best done with the
teachings of Bhagavad Gita. Many management colleges have already
implemented courses based on Bhagavad Gita in their curriculum, to
shape the future managers.

What is Gita Champions League (GCL)?

To serve this purpose, the International Society for Krishna

Consciousness (ISKCON) is organizing a Bhagavad Gita Contest entitled,
Gita Champions League (GCL). This contest will be a fun, inspiring and
motivating way to help the children absorb themselves in the teachings
of the Bhagavad Gita, enrich and refocus their life in the right
manner. Realizing the divine culture of India, we need to help our
children to emerge with superior human values. Gita Champions League
will be a helping hand to learn self-discipline and build a strong
value system for the participants.
