on Shri Nand Yashoda Bhawan 3 years ago
5 Star rating for the Gokul village and it's religious significance. But strong suggestion for pilgrims to be careful while making donation and be bold enough to say NO if you are not comfortable. I (Read More)don't think my God will coerce me to make donation and only then will he bless me. All plz brace yourself for barrage of one particular sentence coming your way, 'yehi sacha mandir hai ...yehi asli mandir hai'
