Hi Pundit, thanks for covering this very important subject and the great personality that Anna Hazare is.

I have been to Ralegan Sidhi and I have seen first hand how one selfless guy can transform a village, a district and now, the world. Renunciation has its power, that no one can take away.

Thanks also for getting Discus as requested! One less step to get in touch with you, is good!
