1. Read Bhagavad-gita thoroughly, as it is

    Our only request is that if you want happiness, if you want to prosper, make your life successful, you must read Bhagavad-gita thoroughly, as it is, as Krsna says. Don’t try to misinterpret.

    From Srila Prabhupada’s lecture on Bhagavad-gita 4.13 — 2 April, 1974
