Everyone should make use of the valuable knowledge available in these books ! – Anand Patil, Sanatan Sanstha
The knowledge made available through books is invaluable. Every one of us should make use of this knowledge. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj built many forts during his short regime which are still the best example of architecture. I carried my business by adhering to the principles of welfare of nation and Dharma.
