[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] KRISHNA-KATHA: Perfecting Ourselves & Others-which is better?

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

The 'Gita' message, Bhagavan's picture and the story

are together and separately contesting for-'which is

better'. All the three conveys the spirit of

Bhagavan's life and message BEAUTIFULLY.

 

Thank you Arunji.

 

Regards
