During this COVID pandemic, he courageously served the public of Puttaparthi.

I put up a post on this resumption: Resumed reading of Valmiki Ramayana after gap of nearly two years; Last sarga (chapter) of Bala Kanda, blog: https://ravisiyer.blogspot.com/2021/09/resumed-reading-of-valmiki-ramayana.html , Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ravi.s.iyer.7/posts/3217996101750278 . However, I could not make the time for reading it in the way I had done before, and nor could I make the time to put up posts on the parts of Ramayana that I had an urge to write on, and share via blog & Facebook posts (as I ...
