                     THE SUPREME CONGREGATION -



                                  JOIN IT,  BE BLESSED.



            Did you know there was a super congregation which was dedicated to the Supreme cause? The purpose of this
          congregation is NOT money, NOT people, NOT land or water.  Its sole purpose, which arose out of overwhelming
           love and concern for God, is for His protection. Protection for His auspiciousness to remain eternal for millions of
         years to come!  For those who are confused as to why God needs protection, read and follow each of our articles on
                           Thiruppalla:ndu. Join the Supreme congregation and be thoroughly blessed!
