Chapter A Day (CHAD) - Bhagavad Gita Recite one chapter of Bhagavad Gita Daily and transform your life!
"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 - Current Bhagavad Gita Chapter: Chapter 9, (Until June 31)
- Chad Plus Chapters: SB 7.9.7 (Until May 21, 2024)
