Our First Duty – Reading Srila Prabhupada’s Books!
The importance of reading Srila Prabhupada’s books cannot be emphasized enough. Srila Prabhupada wanted leaders to become absorbed in Krishna Conscious philosophy so that they would be convinced and free from doubts. Yet the reality is, that many leaders do not find enough time or inspiration to stick to daily reading practice, although a clear understanding of Srila Prabhupada’s instructions is crucial for ISKCON’s future. In this course, we will analyze the uniqueness of the Bhaktivedanta Purports, explore Leadership Lessons from the Bhāgavatam and get practical advice on how to make daily reading practice a priority. Methods of in-depth reading will give us ideas on how to absorb spiritual knowledge more effectively, with the aim of applying Srila Prabhupada’s teaching in our own lives.
