Answer 8

Garud Puran tells you in detail the punishments for your crimes as you move from one soul to another. Where as Geeta tells us that we reap what we sow, and that all off us have always been here and will always be here, but as a man changes cloths, so do our souls change bodies. Everything that dies is born, and everything that is born eventully dies to begin aknew. What we should do in order to live a rightous life, what not to do, how to behave etc. I perfer Geeta as it is somthing that you can see in front of your eyes. People suffereing for wrong doings. Those who have been good souls always helping humanity, have always suffered in ther life, yet they will be rewarded by staying in the memories of people, for their good deeds, forever.

"What is lotted cannot be blotted. A frightened mouse runs to its hole; a terrified elephant to its stake; a scared serpent to a well; but where can a man run from his Karma?"

Right from his early days, he took fancy to things Divine because they fascinated him and fired his imagery. He got his inspiration from his uncle Balwant Singh who in his own right was a very imminent astrologer of his area. Having thus been initiated, Acharya Avinash Singh adopted very inorthodox subjects to become his way of life. These include Homeopathy, Fine Arts, Astrology, Vastu. He has to his credit various decorations and citations as a befitting tribute to his genius.

Another remarable feather in his cap is his vast knowledge of the principles of Yoga and Natural healing techniques. He has been outstandingly successfil in providing relief to modern medicine and treatments leave avoidable scars on the patient. One ailment treated leads to treating another caused by the first. This is not so in Yoga-based clinicality. Acharya Avinash Singh is a cool-minded healer. Not at all ostensible, he believes in administering his doses of naturopathy with telling results.
