Hare Krishna Prabhus, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Nikhil Prabhu, we are happy to have a new Devotee here like You!
Yes, when i started in the beginning i was told about secret book. Because i loved to read intense desire to get that book grew in my heart. I stated to beg that person to give me that secret Book. But he refused.
First he wanted me to follow 4 regulative principles:
1. No meat eating
2. no gambling
3. no drugs and alcohol
4. no illicit sex.
i was following all 3 except the first :( so it was difficult because in our area if one is a vegetarian he might be considered as a mentally sick. I did not have idea that it was bad....
So in this way in order to get that book i became vegetarian also.
3 months, he did not give.
Then he told me to chant the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. ...until i reached up to 16 rounds per day which was for 3 months he did not give that book....
At least only after 6 months of purification he gave me:
BHAGAVAD GITA :D :D :D which i embraced first with my hands later reading with my heart!
So please start to follow 4 regulative principles, and chanting. And also take Bhagavad Gita As It Is and read.
we're always here to help fellow eager Krsna bhaktas find their way. If there is anything required of this sevak of yours, please do not hesitate to ask :)
