Do you read Scripture every day?

[Gaura Priya]

Do you read Scripture every day as part of your daily sadhana? What areyou reading right now?

I try to commit myself to about a half an hour of reading. I am working on Sri Chaitanya-charitamrta (Pastimes of Sri Chaitanya), which is a Gaudiya-Vaishnava Scripture, as well as Srimad Bhagavata-purana.

No, but I easily could. So much of scripture is on the internet, and I'm on the computer all day. I have 3 versions of the Bhagavad Gita alone in my Bookmarks. I could bring a book with me to work and read at lunch time, but it's not a habit I've formed (yet). I'm a haphazard reader.

I try to, not always everyday, but i do have things on my desk- to help me when i take breaks..apps on phone and prayer cards

 

[Vinayaka]

Depends on what you mean by scripture.

What apps do you have? I love apps. :drool:

I have small framed pictures on my desk, and small laminated ones in my truck (lorry for those across the pond ). And I do have a few laminated and framed verses from the B.G. in my cubicle.

i dont know if they are the best ones out there, but one is called "Gita" and it has the full BG. The others My aarti and bhakti i dont use so much. i want one for the upanishads

 

[Jainarayan]

Ooh, must look for! Thanks.

 

[Maija]

Ooh, must look for! Thanks.

It also has an audio component which you can turn off and on. Im looking for something like that for bhajans, like a kirtan radio bt have yet to find it. Will search and let this thread now if i do find something worthwhile

Well i read at least 2 hours a day, I don't read scriptures... but i do read the Gita, Veda, Upanishads (not at this moment), i have just finished Satyarth Prakasha and Aryavrta the original habitat of Aryan, i am just starting the Brahmasutra and have Purv Mimamsa to read next.

Do you read Scripture every day as part of your daily sadhana? What are you reading right now?

after tidying the bookshelf yesterday I decided to take down sri siksastaka ,

I go through phases of reading something new then returning to old favorites , I often start to think about something or find my self telling someone about something so then I feel that I want to re read it , I have a habit of picking up a book and leting it fall open at a page see what it wants to tell me .
I am no jnani so I am not interested in systematic learning I am far more reflective , I simply wish to relish the meaning I might just read a verse and reflect upon that for the day :bow:

jai jai , :bow:

I am too scatter brain to keep my self to a ridgid reading program , I like to read with others or others to read to me I love it when someone knows a part so well that they read with real love we all know what is coming next but we sit transfixed like children , just drinking in the sweet words

but yes, I am reading often throughout the day , little here , little there , deppends what i have to be doing .

Depends on what you mean by scripture.

Whatever constitutes shastra in your tradition! It can be something as complex as the Tirumantiram to a book of a guru's writings.

In that case, yes, I read scripture every day.

Do you read Scripture every day as part of your daily sadhana? .

I chant Scriptures every day as part of my practice. It is part of my puja. I also chant scriptures and feed the fire a few times a month.

Almost everyday but I have no fixed schedule.
