Akram-vignan Quote by Dada Bhagwan
““Just as God has established the Knowledge of the Kramic path (traditional step-by-step path of spiritual progress), similarly this is Akram Vignan (spiritual science of the step-less path to Self-realization); however the Knowledge is the very same. Kramic Knowledge is such that it cannot work in accordance with the current times. That is why, in this era of the time cycle, Akram Vignan has naturally come to light.””
