 Karl Stuff To whom it may concern. Bhagwan is a world wide known famous philosopher and religious teacher. He wrote lots of books concerning all religions all voer the world. Since many years I read his publications and books. He deeply influenced my work as a physician by helping me to become more aware and more loving towards my clients. With his help I learned to understand the problems of my clients far deeper and I'm able to help them more than ever. Bhagwan is really an extraordinary personality of great influence concerning my life and work. Yours sincerely |
