Living Incarnation of Paramashiva

Recognizing Advent of Incarnation in Hinduism through Nadi Reading

These texts are recorded and organized by Agastya Maharishi. It is an foolproof time-tested method of recognizing the happening of superconscious mutants, incarnations in Hinduism on Planet Earth.
