Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 HARI AUM Thanks a lot Dr. Sarojaji for bringing clarity. I urge all to make use of the opportunity. With our esteemed members like Dr.Sarojaji, Gopalakrishnaji and many others, we can get to know the 'life principles' as clearly mentioned in the scriptures. It is very rare to get the association of such knowledgeable persons and that too with their willingness to share all that they know about these matters. Looking forward to very healthy discussions from all members especially from the new members. REMEMBER -KNOWLEDGE INCREASES ON SHARING.
