Through your writings .
Thank you 🙏😊 for sharing with us .
Thankyou very much for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you for sharing Harshad Sir . I always either read in fb or hear in you tube your sharing . It’s easy to understand , simple and inspiring .

But all I could intuitively feel hearing you earlier was an embodiment of all that I aspire in my life….to be a person, listening to oneself intently , astutely, attentively . I could almost feel the stillness within you alongwith the warmth and commitment in your deep penetrative eyes ( and this was without knowing anything about you ! ) No wonder Mark and K could easily identify you easily for a journey in togetherness that warm summer afternoon in June 1979 and help transform many lives across continents…thank you so much for this wonderful sharing 🤗🙏
