BRAHMABAD: The human mind is a wing of the Almighty. The only difference is that humans are in the forbidden land where there are plethora of forbidden fruits confronting which the human mind goes berserk; courtesy anger, lust, hate, covetousness and other such sinful acts that invite the wrath of The Almighty. However, the loving Father-Brahma has laid down guidelines in the form of DHARMA abiding by which His children can lead a life of spiritual bliss under the shade of His Love.PRABHUKRIPA
