Personal Guidance & Puja
Relating to personal issues

A spiritual guide is someone who helps you attend to God’s presence in your life.

 

Spiritual therapy is a form of counseling that attempts to treat a person’s soul as well as mind and body by accessing individual belief systems and using that faith in a higher power to explore areas of conflict in life.

 

God can change anything and turn any situation around. Even when doctors have given up all hope and say there is nothing that they can do, God still can.

 

Perhaps the true appeal of religion lies in the fact that it aims to resolve problems that other areas can’t resolve.

Charitable Causes

There are so many charities out there doing incredible work to help those who need it. And we all have different causes that strike a chord with us. Maybe what a charity does means more due to personal experiences and just feel very strongly about those being helped.

For us?

Children, lone parents, disabled people and people in households in which no one works are more likely to experience poverty, to remain in poverty for longer and to experience deeper poverty, than others.
