BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS - Chapter A Day (CHAD)

"Even though it lasts for only a brief moment, the human form of life is very rare and valuable. In the same way, the brief month of Kartik is also very rare and valuable." – Kartika Mahatmya by Srila Sanatana Goswami

H.G. Vaisesika Prabhu has selected Chapter 10 for Kartik 2019! 

Please recite Bhagavad-Gita Chapter 10 every day from  13 Oct 2019 to 11 Nov 2019.


All other Kartik sacrifices and austerities become glorious by this simple act of reciting a chapter of Bhagavad Gita for few minutes every day without fail.

As heat purifies gold and increases its luster, so this simple austerity of reading Bhagavad Gita every day burns away the dirty coverings of the soul and brightens one's spiritual luster.
