"As Arjuna set aside his bow and arrows, let us set aside any sense of confidence in our own abilities so that we may hear Krsna's words with full heart and attention.This kind of submissive hearing is the primary requirement for advancement in spiritual life. The devotee who hears Krsna's words with a submissive heart immediately feels an ingress of causeless knowledge and detachment." – H. G. Vaisesika Prabhu CHAD is a worldwide alliance of devotees who chant at least one chapter of Bhagavad-gita As It Is every day. Please recite Chapter 2 (verses 37 – 72) of Bhagavad Gita every day along with one purport from 28 Jul 2019 to 25 Aug 2019
