No cheddis will come to protect in this time. only YOUR good deeds will be helpful and Bad deeds will haunt those who indulge in sins and deception and killing and hurting others... Unless U recognize the true god and make repentance. Your destiny is in your hand and dont sell your character to cheddis ... recognise the evil who disrupt the society.

heartfelt condolence.

i visited mukambika mutt once, a good hearted person, he gave me a good life speech,

swamiji's should live longer because they dont have any kind of tension, anyway condolences.

RIP swamiji,
