The Glory of India


Most people have been brainwashed with false and misleading information on the Religion, Culture and History of India.

Whilst academic education is important for getting a good job, which will bring a good income. People fail to realize that academic knowledge is concerned with the material body. It’s all knowledge meant for fulfilling the animal instincts of the body. We come into this world with nothing and will leave the same way. We cannot take the materialist things like money, cars and houses, with us. Nor can we take the academic knowledge of this world with us. Everything in this material world is temporary. The only thing that will stay with us is our karma, our history of the good and bad actions taken in this and previous lives.
