Regarding Bhagavad Gita study,

This evening, Prabhupada stated the following:

In addition to our chanting our 16 rounds daily, we must all read at least one chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. Read one chapter one day then go on to the next chapter the next day and in this way, after 18 days, we will have completed one reading. After four or five such complete reading we will know Bhagavad Gita as it is and our questions and doubts will be answered. We are printing these books not for money but so that all devotees will read and understand. On Janmastami day, next September, those students who wish may take an examination on Bhagavad Gita. Those passing will receive a certificate and title of Bhakti shastri, an official ministerial status. Guests may also take this exam for a fee of $10.00.
