Jaipur: A 16-year-old Muslim teenage boy has won the Bhagwad Gita quiz competition organised here by Hare Krishna Mission in association with AkshayPatra Foundation. The two-round quiz show lasted for over six months, that saw participation by over 5,000 students.
Abdul Kagzi, a class 9 student left the judges surprised with his apt knowledge on the subject and enormous knowledge on Sanskrit hymns and verses. This year, the theme was “Knowing Shri Krishna.” Kagzi said that his liking for Krishna developed while watching a cartoon series, “Little Krishna”.
Kagzi”s father, AbdurKaleem, runs a grocery shop in his three storey house at Sanganer. “My father allows me to follow my heart and has never shown any restriction towards any faith and practice. I have been using his mobile to study diverse facets of spiritualism”, the winner said.
