More on Akshay Tritiya-to partha

sadgurudevaaye namah

 

if analysis could prove things, god, soul, jyotish & many other thing/theories would have been proved.

u doubt the efficacy of tithis/vrats. if i tell u just a name of god, pronounced even once that too by mistake can erase many sins, u wont belive. ajamil-a hardcore sinner just by taking god's name in his last breath achieved what others couldnt. but u wont belive.

read bhagvat, read gita, must read 1 chapter of sri charit manas. where tulsidas highlights the impotance of 'naam'. even all the sikh scriptures supports it too.

it is easy to become a gyaani, difficult to become a bhakt.

easy to become a saint, difficult to become a servant.

if u belive in god, ask for his bhakti...

then u will realise there is something where no rules work & no analysis can prove anything..

regards
