Here’s a structured summary of the chanting competition rules for different student groups:

Chanting Guidelines

1. Shishu Vihar, Dhruva, Nachiketa, and Gyaneshwara Students

• They must continuously chant the verses assigned to them.

2. Special Category Students(Dhruva, Nachiketa & Gyaneshwara), Aaruni, Shri Rama,   Shri Krishna, Chinmaya & Tapovan students

• They will chant 3 continuous verses from 4 different sets.
• Verse selection will be random:

• • There will be 4 bowls, each containing chits with verse numbers.

  • Each student will pick one chit from each bowl and hand them to the judge.

• Chanting Process:

• • The judge will prompt them by reading the last quarter of the verse before the one they picked.

  • Example:

    • If a student picks verses 3, 11, 17, and 25, the judge will read the last quarter of verse 2, and the student must chant verses 3, 4 & 5.

    • Then, the judge will read the last quarter of verse 10, and the student chants verses 11, 12 & 13, and so on.

• Recalling Time:

• • After receiving the judge’s prompt, students can take a couple of minutes to recall the verses before chanting.

3. Students with Partial Memorization 

•  Students who have memorized less than 29 verses but at least 14 verses will chant 2 or 3 sets based on the number of verses they have memorized.
