Mahotsavam....4 Sept 2010
When Prasanthi Nilayam dons the role of the
Peacemaker, she does it in the most unique fashion, as is her wont,
most silently sans any publicity. Peace is her very name and every
action mooted in Prasanthi is tagged to this end result of universal
brotherhood of humanity or in other words World Peace. These
happenings are of utmost relevance at a time when universal
brotherhood and humanity are slowly blasting out of existence in
many part of the world.
