“It has been few ages since “we”(guru) left religion and caste. Even then, some people are picturising me as belonging to their caste and has been working in that line, which has created a misunderstaning against the whole purpose of what we(guru) have stood all across life.
We(guru), don’t beong to any caste or religion. This specifically applies to my disciples, who will be choses if and only if they comply with this condition and shall be laid as a rule.

An M.B.B.S student in kerala pays adequate amount of fee during his years of study.
Rs.25,000 X 200 students(Trivandrum MCH) = 50,00,000 lakh.

-biochemistry(1st year)
-microbiology(2nd)
-Pathology(2nd)
-Forensic medicine(2nd)
After finishing house surgeoncy, they have worked for an extended period of 22 days.
Later they were posted for an extra months due to covid at various government hospitals at a salary of Rs.40,000/-.
