Devotees of Chinmaya Mission across the world are set to participate in the Chinmaya Gita Samarpanam, a global online chanting of Chapter 15 of the Bhagavad Gita on May 9, as part of the global celebrations marking 75 years of the organization.
The initiative aims to bring together 108,000 participants worldwide to chant the verses simultaneously through an online platform.

The event will serve as an official Guinness World Records attempt for the largest coordinated online chanting of the Bhagavad Gita.
The chanting is being organized as a collective offering of gratitude to Swami Chinmayananda.
Swami Swaroopananda, the global head of Chinmaya Mission, believes the event represents a powerful spiritual offering and said,
“This initiative is a beautiful way for seekers everywhere to come together and offer the Gita as a collective prayer. When thousands chant together, the message of the Gita resonates far beyond the individual.”
Swami Aparajitananda from Chicago shed light on the significance of the chosen chapter and explained,
“In just 20 verses, it addresses the fundamental questions of life — Who am I? What is this world? Who is Ishwara? What is bondage? What is liberation? And what is the path to freedom?”
The event is open to people of all backgrounds, including beginners in Sanskrit chanting. Swami Shantananda, president of Chinmaya Mission West, urged devotees to join and said,
“People can join from their homes and chant along by simply reading the verses. It is an opportunity for families, children and newcomers to experience the power and beauty of the Gita together.”
Free online training sessions are being offered in the weeks leading up to the event so that participants can become familiar with the verses.
Along with setting a world record, Chinmaya Mission aims to inspire more people to explore the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita through this event.
