Your CHAD Performance Report!

Hare Krishna Dear Devotees,

Please accept our most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad!

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who partook in the Kartik month CHAD program.

Our 2011 - Karthik month CHAD group goal was to:-

1. Recite 8th chapter (or any other you may have selected) from Oct 11 2011  to Nov 10 2011 
2. Introduce CHAD to one other soul

We are eager know if you (& your family & friends) were able to recite Gita everyday.

Reporting your CHAD performance is very easy;  you should just email us  the category (listed below) in which you fall in and the name of the another person whom you inspired to do CHAD during Kartik. 

Irrespective of how little or how big your performance rate is, Srila Prabhupad and Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan/Mahaprabhu & Lakshmi Narasimha, will be very pleased to know what you did. One may think.."Well.. Krishna is in my heart he knows what I did, why should I explicitly share it with others?". That is just the trick of the mind. One of the best ways to feel encouraged is to encourage others. Sharing our performance report is the best way to encourage others and feel encouraged.Thanks to all the devotees who proactively shared thier realisations! 

Lord Krishna is very pleased when we explicitly offer our results to HIM considering HIM as our dearest well-wisher. 

We kindly request you to take a minute of your valuable time and let us know your performance rating. You can email to  Chapter_a_day@yahoogroups.com or chad.isv@gmail.com. If you are not a regular visiting member of ISV, San Jose, California, please make sure you email us your correspondence address.
