When a student in class one promotes to class two, what does it carry forward? Similar was the case with a soul atman! A soul does not enter a human body.

It needs a medium, a body […]

If we do nothing in present life then we become a slave to our destiny. Intelligent human beings who pursued their passion in life never believed in destiny. They went ahead, formed a definite goal in life and pursued it with all eggs in one basket finally manifesting success and destiny forever. If we seriously look at life history […]

Living in the moment is what life all about! Unless we enjoy the present, no value pursuing a future, no matter how much bright! Life is always a journey, never a goal!

No sooner matching parents become available; the hibernating soul […]
