Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Dear Shri Shankaran, Your thoughts are at the outset noble and worth praising. Yes. by serving an ailing mother, you can help her to feel comfortable and through this you too will have the opportunity to read noble verses from our ancient writings. It will be nice if you can spend some time every day by the side of your mom and go through the Bhagavat Geetha .Just listening to the Geetha will have a very soothing effect on your mom's mind. With best wishes to you, Hari Om! Swaminarayan.
