Guest guest Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hello Krish, I appreciate your question because you are enquiring just like the way I enquired long back about Hatha Jodi. However, I did not enquire here in this group or any other group. I had chosen my own way. I want to share my experience here and tell some words about me. My name is Kishore.. I am from Hyderabad. I bought Hatha Jodi from ( Shaligramshila). I have been chanting Chamundeswari Devi mantra 108 times and offering flowers to it. I have been seeing good results in these 2 months. Do not think negatively about me. I am not a sales executive of Shaligram but I am a customer of Shaligram. I just paid amount through my credit card to them with “With Trust and knowledgeâ€. Through Hatha Jodi I got a chance to chant the Mantra of my sweet Mother “Chamundeswariâ€. It is all Mother Chamundeswari wishes. I think she planned in this way and wanted me to be near to her. I am an HR Manager and Industrial Psychologist. I never simply believe any thing. It took 2 Months for me to buy this product from Shaligram. Even Rajiv ji do not know how much i enquired about him/his company. I am an outstanding googler. I know all search techniques on Google/Net very well. I really do not know who is Rajiv or Shaligram. I even did not join this group 2 months back. I am in problems. I was alone and finding a root to come out. I was just browsing on net for Horoscopes and mantras. Accidentally I read about Hatha Jodi. I searched deeply about that product on net and also asked many people. I am not suggesting you to buy blindly from Shaligram or any other company. My advice is “Trust with Knowledge" but do not Trust anything “Without Knowledge". So, kindly search about the company from whom you want to buy it. It may be Shaligram or any other company. Ask people like this and "listen to your Heart".. If your heart says yes then go for it and just buy it. "Trust" is very important in these issues. Though you get a real one, if somebody tells that it is a fake, then what happens? You will doubt yourself. So, till you feel confident do not buy it. Nobody will return your money after you buy it. I believe nature has the power to heal not only our health problems but also they help us to remove our life mental/financial problems also. God has given many gifts so that we can reach God/see God/Trust God. There are many ways to get Trust on God. In fact there are many good ways to come out from problems. However, remember these Hatha Jodi/Siyar Singhi etc are also some of the ways to build trust on God. Go with your own Intuition. Good luck. Thanks, M.Kishore Hyderabad Cell: 9290749818 Have a nice & productive day, With Best wishes, M.kishore.

All the Hatha Jodi available and sold in the market are made from chicken legs or from the legs of rock lizzard. The genuine Hatha Jodi never looks like a pair of hands etc. It is plant product. The picture of genuine Hatha Jodi was displayed by Mr. Alok Jagawat on this forum earlier.> > > > There are many many examples and the list is unending.
