SatBhakti Is the Biggest Vaccine
With the huge amount of dependency on science regarding medication facilities, we have forgotten the way that leads to Supreme God Kabir which is proving to be our biggest mistake. As we can see around that we are encircled by so many life threatening diseases that no home is left untouched with its effect which also raises the danger of death upon us due to it. Amidst these crises and falling levels of humanity around us it is once again necessary for us to identify Supreme God Kabir by examining our Holy Scriptures. Because standards of humanity can only be raised when we are on the right path of spirituality so that we think twice before committing any sort of sin.
Presently only Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj from Haryana, India has been giving us the True Path of Worship from our Holy Scriptures. And it has been proven from the experiences of His devotees that True Worship given by Him can be the remedy of any sort of disease. Meanwhile, amidst so many saints and preachers, it is very difficult to pick the right one also, hence the identifying mark to identify the right one is the strength in the knowledge given by them in accordance with holy scriptures which is being presented by only Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj on this planet Earth. It is advisable to listen to His spiritual discourses at first and then upon understanding the complete path of worship, take Naam Diksha (initiation) from Him to get our welfare done.
