Kartik 2014 - CHAD challenge –Are you Ready?

Greatest Gift & CHAD

When the Indian President Narendra Modi presented Bhagavad Gita to Japanese Emperor, he mentioned, “I don't think that I have anything more to give and the world also does not have anything more to get than this." That remark triggered a big round of applause from the assembled gathering. Yes, Bhagavad-Gita is Lord Krishna’s greatest gift to humanity!

Bhagavad-Gita CHAD (CHapter A Day) is an amazingly easy way to practically apply this gift of timeless wisdom to our daily life and integrate it into our real-world, modern-day existence.

The auspicious Kartik month is soon approaching, a favorite month of Lord Krishna. During this month devotional service is enhanced a thousand-fold and brings the devotee immense spiritual benefits.

Kartik 2014 - CHAD Challenge

‘Kartik 2014 - CHAD challenge’ aims to inspire every intelligent human being to read one chapter of Bhagavad Gita every day during the all-auspicious Kartik month from 08 Oct 2014 to 06 Nov 2014. CHAD founder H.G Vaisesika Prabhu recommends Bhagavad-Gita Chapter 15.

5-Minute Ex*****on Formula

1. Print 15th chapter (or any chapter of your choice) in CHAD format and carry it with you wherever you go or load it into your device.

2. Chant all the Sanskrit slokas; or all the English translations. This does not take any more than 5 - 7 minutes! Waiting in a long queue or in a red light? Read your chapter. Still can’t find time?

Real Protection
Let us make a sincere effort to read Bhagavad-Gita every day. This is our only real protection. As Vaisesika Prabhu writes "The devotee who hears Krsna’s words with a submissive heart immediately feels an ingress of causeless knowledge and detachment. Krsna is attentively watching us at every second and is ready to guide and shelter us. Therefore, today, and everyday, may we recite the divine slokas in Bhagavad-gita not by rote. Rather, with the urgency of a man or woman trapped in a burning house, let sing them aloud, calling for Krsna’s protection."

Invest Now! + Chapter 11

12/29/2013

2014 is just around the corner and it’s now time for us to get thinking about all that we want to achieve next year.We mainly owe ourselves a main responsibility to continue and constantly improve daily through learning. At the present time most of us are so absorbed with day-to-day activities that we do not have the time to read all the literatures. Srila Prabhupad has the solution, "Because Bhagavad Gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad Gita." (Bhagavad Gita Introduction)

Simply my making a potent goal of reading one chapter & one purport of Bhagavad-Gita every day without fail, we become enriched with devotion. Srila Prabhupada confirms the potency of reading his books daily, "In my books the philosophy of Krishna Consciousness is explained fully so if there is anything you do not understand, then you simply have to read again and again. By reading daily the knowledge will be revealed to you and by this process your spiritual life will develop."(Letter to Brahmarupa Dasa, November 22, 1974)


We will be reading 6th chapter to Bhagavad-Gita until 26 Jan 2014.

Wishing you a Happy CHAD!!

Announcing CHAD 2013 for Kartik

Srila Prabhupada requested all of us to innovate and collaborate to distribute Bhagavad-Gita. He equally stressed the importance of reading this divine literature. Srila Prabhupada explicates , “When you study very carefully all of the literature which are available, especially Bhagavad-gita As It Is, you will have in your grasp answers to all questions that may be put to you. Please encourage the others to read this Bhagavad-gita at least one chapter every day.” (Letter to Upendra, January 6, 1969)


Behavioral scientists and professors at Harvard Business School researched, “People engage in many disciplines for reasons ranging from reducing their anxiety to boosting their confidence and alleviating their grief. The disciples may not have a definite intention of what he may desire to obtain, but it is still surprising how everyday disciplines make a lot of sense and are surprisingly effective." (Francesca Gino and Michael I. Norton)


If this holds true for materialistic disciplines, why not make a spiritual discipline to recite a chapter of Bhagavad-gita every day and become true disciples by getting the real knowledge of spirit? Kartik is here & we all know that the Vratas (disciplines) that are taken in the month of Kartik are multiplied hundreds of times and their benefit remains with the practitioner for hundreds of lifetimes. Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita that one who reads this, worships him with ones intellect. Isn't this perfect for the modern age?


How to make a CHAD discipline?

1.Make a vow to chant the 4th chapter of Bhagavad-gita As It Is everyday until Nov 17 2013. You may also choose to recite any other chapter you may prefer.Chant all the Sanskrit shlokas; or all the English translations; or both the Sanskrit and English. For added purification read one purport also. Srila Prabhupad’s purpose are his transcendental ecstasies and they serve as a torch light and guide on our way back to Godhead.


2.Email [email protected] to enroll & receive the 4th chapter in CHAD format. Print it and carry it with you where you go.(Waiting in queue at the bank or app takes longtime to load? Chant your chapter!)


4.Report your performance and receive a transcendental gift at the end of Kartik.


Hoping this meets you with your mind fixed at the lotus feet of Lord Govinda.

Srila Prabhupad himself writes, "Because Bhagavad-gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad-gita. In the present age, people are so absorbed in mundane activities that it is not possible for them to read all the Vedic literatures. But this is not necessary. This one book, Bhagavad-gita, will suffice, because it is the essence of all Vedic literatures and especially because it is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead." (Bhagavad-Gita, Preface and Introduction)

Reading Bhagavad Gita is one of the best ways to honor and celebrate our heartfelt gratitude for the love and compassion Srila Prabhupada has for us and the personal sacrifice he made for us.We invite you to join the "Gita Chapter a Day" teleconference call tomorrow @ 12:30pm to read the 3rd Chapter of Bhagavad-Gita for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupad!
