Namaste,
Thank you for coming to the forum to ask questions for your spiritual journey.
Advice is normally person specific, i.e. how old are you, what prompted you to take up study of the scriptures at this stage, what is your current level of sadhana - daily meditation etc., what exactly is it that you do during your meditation, how much time do you have for this new endevor that you intend to take up, is there a burning desire to learn about the spiritual content of the scriptures or is it just a desire to read and familiarize yourself with the text contained in them?
The first thing to do is to relax and ask about things one at a time instead of getting the whole curriculum in one shot. Who knows you may read for a few days and decide that it is not for you. So, the key is not to be wired but to be calm and take one thing at a time.
Having said all that, yes, study - not read - the Bhagwad Gita with devotion, instead of reading it like a story book. And read it many times over till things start to make sense to you and then come back for more recommendations. Study of religion is not like a university degree curriculum to be spread out before you start anything. It all depends on your desire to assimilate, your dedication to practice what you study and the level of your intellect in absorbing the spiritual content of the text. As EM has wisely pointed out study of religion is a multi-faceted approach, not a mere 'reading' of a book. Good luck.
Pranam.
PS. BTW, no one sits
on the room and meditates
, usually people sit
in the room.
