  1. This year the Covid-19 can be more deadlier than last year as PM Modi, the CMs and the people again failed to do what is really required to stop as all efforts exhausted because with man it is impossible but with God all things are possible.
    The time has now come for all to worship only One God and call Him for help by abandoning Idols worship, worship of many gods, goddesses and all other things so that God stop the spread of new Covid-19 cases and this can prove a Mother of all Vaccines. All the people of all religions including Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians must stop wrong ritual practices and worshiping Idols, things, humans, animals, trinity as all the scriptures of all major religions say to worship only One God. Unfortunately, the majority of the people do the opposite by praying more than one and many gods by going against Vedas, Gita, Bible and Quran and inviting the trouble for all.
    Now the humanity is in grave loss, except those who have faith, do good deeds, and urge each other to the truth to worship One God and urge each other to perseverance and patience. One Almighty God does not change the condition of the people from good to bad or from bad to good, unless the people change their condition themselves.
    In this age of Internet and knowledge explosion with all the information on every field including the religions, the people are ever ready to follow the changes to improve health, betterment of life and material needs but majority still remained behind and heedless to follow their religions when all the major religions say to worship only One God which is the backbone to bring all closer to God to avoid natural calamities and pandemics and for the much needed peace in the world with universal brotherhood.
    Time for all pray to God to give courage to the people of all religions to come to the common truth to worship only One God as many are afraid to abandon the worship of Idols, Humans, Trinity and demigods as they are following their forefathers and grandparents who were doing so on hearsay in absence of authentic scriptures and True- knowledge as we have today in this age.
    Finally, if the people of all religions join together on any particular day and pray in one voice and call only to One Almighty God for help with repentance of our past sins then we hope God will eradicate the Covid-19 soon.
