Apart from Ramayana, Mahabharata & Bhagavad-Gita, Every Individual Must Have #MankutimmanaKagga at their Prayer Room.
Why?
There are very few people who can explain the beauty of Sanatana Dharma like #DVGundappa did.
Smile is a natural Dharma– It is the basic nature of human to
be happy.
Making others smile is immaculate Dharma
It is an exalted nature to make others happy.
There is another Dharma which is Supreme & above these 2, that is Smiling looking at others happiness.
We must pray to the almighty, the all-merciful to get this as a boon & to lead
our lives by smiling & by making others smile.
This is the only gift we can be able to provide for the mankind.
Can anybody believe these great "philosophical words for the mankind" came from a person who failed in his 10th Class?
No words are enough to pay tributes for

Azad's Nephew Sujit Azad claims that 1) Nehru informed British about Presence of Chandrasekhar Azad at Alfred Park, because other than Nehru & fellow HRA members nobody else knew that he was coming there. 2) Chandrasekhar Azad gave money to Nehru to release Bhagat Singh, but

Dr Rajendra Prasad, the President of the Constituent Assembly, said Rau “was the person who visualised the plan and laid the foundation” of the Indian Constitution.
Who was this Rau?
He is “The forgotten architect of Indian Constitution”
A tribute to
Kannadiga who incidentally was the most important person in drafting the constitution.
B.N.Rau (26 February 1887 – 30 November 1953) was born at Mangalore.
The Indian Constitution was drafted by a core committee of seven experts headed by Dr BR Ambedkar.
Ambedkar was chosen
the head because he had already served in various sub-committees, but before that he faced severe opposition from Abul Kalam and Nehru, but it was Rajendra Prasad who inducted him opposing the then President of Congress.
There is much talk about who really was the biggest brain
