Dear devotees,
Hare krishna.  Let me introduce myself first to all the devotees in this bhakti email group.  I am Ramgopal freind of V. Srimahavishnu in IIT Kanpur  I am doing my masters degree in Chemical engineering

Without the mercy of Vaisnavas and pure devotee, no time exists in the creation of Lord and hence I pay my obesiances to all the devotees in this group.  Let me offer my obesiances to all the devotees.  The devotees heart is the heart where the consciousness lead by the paramatma feature of the lord is revealing the inner and inner philosophical points of bhakti.
