Biggest Strategic Move Of Life

The quest for power has been an unending pursuit for humans. The belief that power defines success is a deeply ingrained redundant belief in us. True success lies in realising the actual purpose of human life – achieving complete salvation through the authentic worship of God Kabir, our Creator, under the refuge of Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, the only True Saint in this world. 
Failure to strive for salvation, forces a soul back into the cycle of 84 lakh births, regardless of his stature in this world. To discover the key to salvation, visit www.jagatgururampalji.org.
