One of the three goals of the Toronto Sankirtan Team in 2011 is to encourage "Strict and Sincere Sadhana" amongst the team members. Towards this goal, our first initiative is CHAD! CHAD is a worldwide alliance of devotees who chant at least one chapter of the Bhagavad-Gita As It Is every day.
“And I declare that he who studies this sacred conversation of ours worships Me by his intelligence.” (B.G. 18.70)
Please join us!
Here’s how to join CHAD:
1. Make a vow to *chant at least one chapter of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is every day.
2. Register your name at the CHAD googlegroup for support and inspiration CHAD_toronto@googlegroups.com (Optional).
*Chanting at least one chapter means chanting all the Sanskrit slokas within one chapter; or chanting all the English in an entire chapter; or chanting both the Sanskrit and English in within one chapter.
Inspired by our Sankirtan guide and Mentor Vaisesika Prabhu, we launched this initiative on Sat-tila Ekadasi. In Vaisesika Prabhu's words, the benefits of joining CHAD:
1. You’ll feel impetus to chant Gita everyday knowing that others are doing it with you.
2. You’ll gain superior strength and knowledge in devotional service by reciting and hearing the divine conversation between Krsna and Arjuna.
3. You’ll be cleared of offences you’ve committed in worshiping the Deity.
4. You’ll automatically learn multiple Bhagavad-Gita verses through repetition. (“Repetition is the mother of learning.”)
5. You’ll develop skill in citing important slokas as evidence from Bhagavad-Gita.
6. You’ll awaken a sweet relationship with Krsna Who reveals Himself to those who daily chant the Bhagavad-Gita.
