Srila Prabhupada requested all of us to innovate and collaborate to distribute Bhagavad-Gita. He equally stressed the importance of reading this divine literature. Srila Prabhupada explicates , “When you study very carefully all of the literatures which are available, especially Bhagavad-gita As It Is, you will have in your grasp answers to all questions that may be put to you. Please encourage the others to read this Bhagavad-gita at least one chapter every day.” (Letter to Upendra, January 6, 1969)
Behavioral scientists and professors at Harvard Business School researched, “People engage in many disciplines for reasons ranging from reducing their anxiety to boosting their confidence and alleviating their grief. The disciples may not have a definite intention of what he may desire to obtain, but it is still surprising how everyday disciplines make a lot of sense and are surprisingly effective.(Francesca Gino and Michael I. Norton)
If this holds true for materialistic disciplines, why not make a spiritual discipline to recite a chapter of Bhagavad gita every day and become true disciples by getting the real knowledge of spirit? Kartik is here & we all know that the vratas (disciplines) that are taken in the month of Kartik are multiplied hundreds of times and their benefit remains with the practitioner for hundreds of lifetimes. Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita that one who reads this, worships him with ones intellect. Isn’t this perfect for the modern age?
