PAMHO - AGTSP

For some years now, I've been doing a regular daily reading of the translation of a chapter of the Bhagavad Gita.

Whenever I have extra time, I continue my reading of the Srimad Bhagavatam; I'm currently on chapter 9.6.1.

I'm progressing very slowly in my reading of the Srimad Bhagavatam, so I thought maybe instead of doing my daily reading of the Bhagavad Gita, I could use that time to further my reading of the Srimad Bhagavatam.

In a handwritten letter you gave me, you advised me I should read the Bhagavad Gita daily, hence my question. Perhaps I should continue my daily reading of the Bhagavad Gita and devote some extra time to Srimad Bhagavatam.

What do you think?

Thank you.

HpS - AgtSP. We wish we could answer these Blog posts a little faster. Right now it is 9.26PM. It has been a day of hard work and nice results. We have pretty strong chest pain, and our eyes are burning, but that is probably true in some way of so many of the people who are reading this letter.

We also see a post in the Blog from your good self.

We will copy and paste it here.

We try to answer mail, posts, from devotees, but we only have so much strength, so we hope no one abandons us because we may only click the response button on WhatsApp.

As for reading.

We heard Srila Prabhupada said that my books are like a tree made of sugar. Wherever you taste them they are sweet.

So, we can pick up any of Srila Prabhupada's books and read them and get benefit.

If we read Caitanya Caritamrta we may be then inspired by that reading to focus more on BG vice-a-versa.

Read some book you like.

Read whenever you can, like, but of course, it is nice to establish a regular habet. Eg. read Lila amrta before breakfast. CC before Mangala arati.

Even more important is to read in the association of devotees. Have study partners, students, teachers.

Share what you are reading on line.

Have you read CC?
