Shree Hari
Ram Ram
As we begin a New Year and bring closure to 2009, please see the Gita-Talk discussions on various topics over the course of the year. During this transition, please take the time to revisit the topics of interest and the points that appeal to you, accept them once and for all. We thank all Sadhaks both the questioners and responders. Most of all we thank Swamiji, as none of this would be ever possible without God’s / Swamiji’s inspiration.
Please generously share these messages and sadhak daily spiritual messages with others, so that more are benefited.
There have been many questions and responses that have not been posted, mostly due to us limiting the number of postings to no more than three a day per your feedback. Please forgive us for any errors, omissions, biases, hurting any one, or any other limitations on our part and kindly do not stop sharing, but help us improve and grow together for the benefit of all sadhaks. His Divine Grace is flowing on us all. “Sarve Bhavantuh Sukhinah”.
