Best sweet shop in Noida: Ring in the festive spirit, celebrate Mithai time!

Mantras always work but the problem is that we are often not open to believing this.  The query about whether the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra works comes in different forms, sometimes by email, in the comments section or in person. Most people are curious, some are interested but few are committed to sincerely want the answer.   [READ: What are Tantric Practices?
