'Apple blossoms for Baladeva'

[Guest guest]

JAYA JAYA SRI JAGANNATHA

Dear Zavisa,

From the present year i.e after Makar Sankranti, the golden era of 480

years called Kreta Chakra begins. Sri achyuta Dasa has already predicted

that this will be a golden phase for India and His Bhakta's as Dharma will

be re-established by the followers of Sri Balabhadra Deva.

Best Regards,
