Why do bad things happen to good people? They happen because of their ‘Karma’. What do we exactly mean by karma? Is it a punishment? Is it a reward? No! It is payback through divine intervention, a universal method of checks and balances. It is divine-mathematics – a ‘spiritual law of cause and effect’. It…
This year’s April Fool’s Day was celebrated by Meherbai’s Mandli, a little in advance, in the last week of March.
