www.telugubhakti.com Doubt i got recently?

February 11, 2009

Murali Dhar and Swarna Venkateswara Swamy garu,

HARE KRISHNA!!!!!!

My doubt is clarified and i thank both of you in this regard.

I surely believe in god and hence the only reason to join the group also.

But i need to admit that i need to completly surrender to god and with god's

grace i am hoping it is not far.

Thanks

Prashant Jalasutram
