Please join us! Email: recite.chad@gmail.com HARE KRSNA! Dear Friends, Hope this meets you all well. Exemplifying the importance of reading transcendental literatures, Srila Prabhupad writes "In many countries there are bodies appointed by the state to detect and censor obscene literature. This means that neither the government nor the responsible leaders of the public want such literature, yet it is in the marketplace because the people want it for sense gratification. The people in general want to read (that is a natural instinct), but because their minds are polluted they want such literatures. Under the circumstances, transcendental literature like Srimad Bhagavatam will not only diminish the activities of the corrupt mind of the people in general, but also it will supply food for their hankering after reading some interesting literature. In the beginning they may not like it because one suffering from jaundice is reluctant to take sugar candy, but we should know that sugar candy is the only remedy for jaundice. Similarly, let there be systematic propaganda for popularizing reading of the Bhagavad-Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam, which will act like sugar candy for the jaundicelike condition of sense gratification. When men have a taste for this literature, the other literatures, which are catering poison to society, will then automatically cease." (Srimad Bhagavatam 1.5.11 purport) Recite Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18 verses 18.1-18.39 until 27th Feb 2015 5-Minute Execution Formula 1.
