Daily Caitanya-bhāgavata
Daily 1 1/2-hour Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata reading
Every day, we daily sing a different Bengali kirtan to Śrī Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu, recite the Caitanya-bhāgavata Maṅgalācaraṇa, go through a recap of the preview days' readings, read Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata with the Gauḍīya Bhāṣya (commentary) of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Prabhupāda for 1 hour, and have a little discussion at the end.
