One can read the shastras at any age.

However if you read the shastras little late then you will regret because you have to live and breathe these shastras throughout your life.

You have to experience Krishna Consciousness for as many years as possible.

This consciousness will keep you in High Spirits or a Resourceful State.

Shastras need to be read at the earliest date as possible because you will know and live this gyan for as many years as possible.

Even if you find a date given in the shastras specifying when to read the shastras then don't postpone reading them, Read them at the earliest date.

Do not listen to people that these books should be read after retirement.

Who will you talk to about these shastras after retirement?

You need to be a Religious person and help others become religious too.

I have seen an age in the shastras, at what age they should be read. I don't remember it exactly when but it is mentioned to be somewhere between 53+ and 63+ age.

I strongly disagree to read them after the age of 53+

Read them at the earliest date.

It could be 20+, 30+, 40+

Do not think that these shastras should be read at 53+

You need to remember these stories as you are working and talking to people about these shastras.

Live the gyan in them and see the world through God's vani and find people like you, people who are first class devotees.

Krishna Consciousness is the only right way to live and every year you will rejoice living in such a way.

So, Read these shastras and see your life transform and rise to a new way of living.

There is no ideal time to read them, don't listen to people even if they show it to you in any shastras.

Live and breathe this gyan at the earliest date possible.

I guarantee that your life will change. I am a living example and I strongly suggest you to be in Krishna Consciousness.

So, will you read the shastras?

The choice is yours!

All the best!

Know Yourself!
