A mansion of Compassion Sweats for the upliftment of the downtrodden Sadharmiks
'When you assist someone at the time of his requirement, your grace comes back to you in the form of assistance done by someone in the period of your requirements!- This was the concluding line of the emotional and practical story, I came across, the moment I hold the pen, willing to write this chapter. I am fond of reading such stuffs which are based on some real occasions of life and pass out practical inspiration that become useful to me and others.

He was accompanied by his disciples and some 700
