Thank you for cleaning.

Mainly It is required to clean of our heart and brain. Otherwise it will be like wearing clean dress without taking bath.

Therefore required to free the society from all types of public evils like discord (disharmony), rites, bribes, corruption, hunger, crimes.
we need to have healthy relation amongst all our communities.

May God help.
