You always uphold the Matchless Glory of Sanatana Dharma…your effort is untiring and commendable …here you’ve poetically metamorphosed from Duality [‘This idol will disappear’] to Non Duality… Adi Sankara actually streamlined the topsy turvy of the then scenario very aptly you've incorporated …and Vivek Chdamany his commentary on Vedas is a reference book for all times Thanks for sharing Ms. Nivedita UK 10/10
