Sometimes they say that the mantras is bits and pieces of other mantras. How come they don’t just directly tell the mantra, instead of describing it. 5 1 replies

I still don't understand how he has such a large following with this primitive mindset... Basically he wants to create a Hindu Taliban ... I feel like such people only pull us and... 2 1 replies
