DENVER, COLORADO, May 28, 2006: The remarkably successful quiz contest “Kaun Banega Ramayan Expert” (KBRE) is helping to fuel the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh’s (HSS), continuing pursuit of excellence in youth leadership, Dharmic education and service to society as it continues along its path as one of USA’s leading Hindu youth organizations. The results of the KBRE contest were announced today. More than 3,000 children between ages 5 and 15 years, from 30 states, participated in the contest which began on Makar Sankranti and concluded May 28. The contest was a national effort focused on creating and maintaining awareness in children about Ramayan. The life of Shri Rama, as told in Ramayan, teaches timeless values like brotherly love, devotion, sacrifice, valor and personal integrity, all important for the children to understand and internalize. Children of all ages proved that they were up to the challenge of the KRBE contest, a fun and educational experience, but also a nostalgic one for many of the parents and older family members.
