Why Sadhusongo
Due to tremendous development of virtual communication over phone, internet, TV, Skype, whats app etc we are lacking physical contact with one another which affects our interpersonal relationship and fellow felling. Modern science of language reveals that 70% of human language is based on gesture-posture and only the 30% are expressed in words. When do not meet face to face, we lose the warmth of touch and eye-contact to deepen relationship to exchange knowledge. We want people meet face-to-face and this is why Sadhusongo. We want to share not only knowledge and interpretation but also our well and woes.
