FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

 
1. Do I need to know Sanskrit?
No. We will read only the English commentary. Audio will be played for the Sanskrit verses so no knowledge of Sanskrit is required.
 
2. What happens if I miss a class?
The greatest benefit from this resolution will be the discipline of sticking to the daily commitment. However, if you are unable to join on some days, you can plan to read those pages on your own before the next session!
 
3. How often will there be sessions with Swami Shantananda ji?
We encourage you to write down all your questions as and when they arise when reading the book and share it with your coordinator. We will arrange for a 1 hour long Q & A session with Swami Shantananda ji approximately once a month on a weekend.

9. I have registered but I have not received any communication still. What should I do?
Emails with links to the WhatsApp group are being sent in batches and have been sent to everyone who had registered as of Jan 5th. If you register after Jan 5th, you will get it by the next day. If you registered early and have not got it please check your spam folder first. If it is not there, it is possible you have made a typo when you entered your email address. In that case, please send us an email to geetareadingclub@chinmayavrindavan.org and we will send you the email.
