God always protects sajjanas-ckeck9/31 of 'gita'

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

Verse 31 of Ch 9 of Bhagavan's 'Gita'is the

'GUARANTEE' of the above statement.

 

There ain't a better way,other than the method of

'story telling', to improve the 'thoughts' in people

more enduringly and effectively and thereby lift them

up in life.

 

Keep the good work going Shree Nandakumarji.
