      Namaste,

      I am Brinda Dubey. I have completed my course "Sthapana".
      It was a beautiful start for me. All the chapters are explained very beautifully and in a very simple way. I like the way of explaining by all the mentors and Gurus. I want to do more courses with you. It is a matter of pride for me to join Kaivalyadham as a student.
