Guest guest Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Dear Professor V.Krishna Murthy Avargal, Salutations to Your Vision!!! I remember sometime ago you said that one should never make assertions without realization. Is this statement made by you is made after seeing Lord Ganesa dance with joy or is it said just like that from scriptural information: It is this contentment that makes Him dance sometimes. I am confused.
