Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 MURUGA SARANAM I very much share the views expressed by Patricia. In Hinduism as well as Buddhism the scriptures say the same. That is once one is sincere and tenacious in his search for the Truth and once he has reached certain level of qualification, it is said that the magic takes place and the spiritual master manifests himself and guides in the wonderful journey it seems. When that day will come. Only Murugan knows. May Murugan bless every one of us for such a day to come sooner than ever.
