Citizens must always choose TYAG-based leadership over leaders with ego.
Never forget what the world wants you to forget.

ji!During my entire student life, I used to be the most introvert & taciturn person in class, barely spoke 2-3 words in a day (except when directly questioned by teachers). Fortunately, to communicate with my इष्टदेव शंकरजी didn’t need to speak🙏
A friend’s father today said, “It’s not that the introvert don’t want to be heard”. It hit home. Such deep meaning. And I was taken back to my school days when I was the most introvert of all in the class. I was like a shadow nobody noticed. Toughest journey of my life alone.
