Even though, the world is now bereft of the association of Pankajanghari Prabhu, we all know with great conviction that he will always be present next to his worshippable master, Narasimhadev praying for the welfare of all of us as our well-wisher.
All glories to Narasimhadev!!
All glories to His beloved servant, His Grace Pankajanghari Prabhu!!
