Medical science has failed to safeguard us in the time of need. Now, people are only left with the choice of ‘Spirituality’. Those who are agnostics and atheists might change their minds after seeing the miracles of Sat-bhakti. Because Sat-bhakti is the only vaccine that can safeguard us against deadly diseases.
