Jayapataka Swami: How can we study properly Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. The more we read the scriptures, the more we will know the details. Sometimes they say if two people read together they can go deeper. One did this paragraph, one did the next like that. I did not personally try that but I heard that. But Srila Prabhupada said that before we took first initiation, we have to read the Bhagavad-gita ten times. So I did that. And each time, we went deeper and deeper. I would recommend to read the Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita again and again, and each time you will go deeper and deeper. One way, if you use the knowledge which you get from reading, that will stay with you. If you don’t use it, you will lose it. So, when I used to go out for distributing books, people would ask me questions and if I didn’t know the answer I would tell them I will look it up or ask my seniors and come back and tell them. And I would always find the answer and I would go back and tell the person what the answer was.
