Guest guest Posted March 20, 2000 Report Share Posted March 20, 2000 OM VISHNAVE NAMAH Dear ZAVISA, THIS WOULD BE MORE APPRECIATED IF DISCUSSED WITH THE CHART. PLEASE MAKE A PROPER EFFORT, ELSE ALL THIS IS GOING TO GO WASTE. IF YOU GIVE THE CHART AND DISCUSS THEM HERE, THEN YOU CAN FULLY ANALYSE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS AND WRITE AN ARTICLE FOR J.NEWS ETC. SOME TIME BACK YOU SENT A CHART OF THE WORLD VAISHNAVA MOVEMENT OR ASSOCIATION. CAN YOU READ THAT CHART? THESE EXERCISES WILL BE GOOD.
