I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Abilash - Thank you posting the yatra plan.I liked the way you expressed hinduism - the sanathana dharma - the eternal dharma-everlasting....- where the belief ends and the truth starts - something one should feel and enjoy it in the inner sphere of mind.Do post things that should help the young generation to learn and experience the sanathana dharma particularly for indians who are never taught the right history nor heritage.One suggestion is to avoid the term Myth/mythology-Puranas are history - yes we may not be able to imagine - its beyond current conventional wisdom in the business world.
