Divorce - After Thoughts.
One of the iland friends has made a guest book entry about my blog 'DIVORCE'. She has posed a question about a situation where both the man and woman are not responsible for the divorce.

Women are messengers of GOD
Women are messengers of GOD. Only few men turn messengers of GOD like Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Vivekananda etc. But almost all women are messengers of GOD. They bring to earth the souls despatched by GOD pledging their life.
