RCMCP organised a speaker meeting with eminent Poet, Desendent of Aadi Kavi Narsinh Mehta, an  Authority on Krishna  celebration of  Janmashtami . In his talks he made it clear that the distinction between love and attachment should be realised to liberate ourselves from the restraints of life. He elobarated his talks on Bhagvad Geeta and Upnishad. He gave the messsage of Krishna s way of Living in very palatable and subtle way. Club members were engrossed with it. The Bhagavad Gita informs, “One who does work which is worth doing is renounced, not the one who renounces activities.” Time, place and circumstances determine these duties that must be done.  Love is a selfless service, while attachment is a strong feeling of affection for something.

We should never be attached to anyone or anything e

When I met Mahanto at SRCC Children Hospital one of his daughters had already undergone surgery. He was so overjoyed he could not hold back his emotions and tears as he spoke to us.

Breathlessness, fever and weight loss being common symptoms. Once when the elder daughter was very ill, the parents rushed her to the doctor and the general physician found out that both
