It is time to say goodbye.  I will head for India in two weeks after thirty years in the USA to work full time for SEVA programs of Vishwa Hindu Parishad in India.

On this Visitors' Feedback section, I had the honor of reading Partha Banerjee, who frequently attacks the whole Sangh Parivar with gusto, repeatedly claiming at the same time his past membership with RSS.  Perhaps he stresses his alleged RSS connection to prove his credibility.  Myself, on the other hand, have a completely different perspective on the Sangh.  I never belonged to the Sangh, and yet today I have taken an early retirement (voluntarily, on my own terms; can be checked relatively easily), and will plunge headlong into Sangh programs in India.
