Om Gurave Namah----Dear Subhash,

Can there be a greater Guru than Jagannath Krishna? If you agree with me, then say loudly JAYA JAGANNATH. Who are you looking for? Have I not been guiding you till now? I am yet another Siksha Guru like your mathematics teacher in school. Nothing more. I shall try to help to the extent I can. Work hard.

OM KRISHNA GURUWith Best Wishes,Sanjay Rath
