I started reading, sorry studying Bhagawadgeeta from Jan 1st - 7 slokas every day. Now, why on Jan 1st only?? and 7 slokas day? Many reasons...

For starters there are 700 slokas in the Song Divine... So, if I consider 7 slokas per day, it would take exactly 100 days to complete it. 100 seems like a great number ... Also the number 7 is very significat in our culture - there are 7 days in a week, 7 sages (Saptarshulu), 7 birth relation (edu janmala-sambandham), 7 steps in a marraige (edu adugulu), 7 raagas (sapta swaraalu), 7 horses of the sun (ratha sapthami, sooraj ka saathwaan ghoda), etc., etc.,

Now, if I start on 1st Jan it would be 10th April (considering 2009 to be a non-leap year) by the time I complete my endeavour - which incidentally is my birthday too !!! Infact every year, I used to brag with my friends that people all over the world celebrate completion of 100 days of new year as my birthday.... !!! sounds interesting, innit??

Anyways, I pray to Lord Krishna that he walks along with me throughout my journey.... Amen !! Now, I will have one more reason to feel happy on my birthday
