      Mr Navin Sinha, I salute you for your lovely comment for our christian brothers and sisters.  Lets us all, irrespeictive of our faith, start wishing members/brothers of other faith on such occasions. This is a step forward in the right direction. Why cant we bridge the gap and contribute to the secular society of India. A small very sincere gesture like this shall have far reaching positive consequences of great heights. Mr Sinha you are a dear friend of mine and I wish you good luck and great success.

      I wish happy Easter to daijiworld team, staff and all the commentators of daijiworld. Have pleasant days ahead as our risen Lord Jesus Christ gave us an opportunity to be with Him by cleansing us through His blood on the Cross from the inherited sin and prepared mansions in advance for our permanent stay only if we are sincere, trustworthy, living lawfully and righteously with pure heart.  I wish happy Easter once again to daijiworld team and staff, to all the viewers, all the commentators of daijiworld and May God bless  all of us.

      Excellent pictures! My kind suggestion, you always focus on the city parishes during festivals. Pls try to extend your coverage to the village parishes, so that we may know their simplicity of their faith.
