Expounding upon the noble virtues of unconditional love, immovable faith and complete surrendership he charged the audience igniting among them a yearning to inculcate the same. Yuvarpit Namah Mehta’s soulful rendering of Krishna bhajans mesmerised the gathering taking them to great depths of devotion.
