English Translation to majjige huli was bit difficult. But just thought of putting it up as it may help non kannada users to understand the title.

My little one is now 4 month old and he rolls over :) Ever since he learned this new activity he has been practising it very well to master this activity.

Readers Request - Mantras which helps you to concieve

Few of my readers have requested mantras which may help them to concieve/get pregnant. A good friend of mine had given me a book titled "Vishnusahasranama vishistha stotragalu" written by vidya vachaspati Sri Aralumallige Parthasarathi. Read more about Dr.Parthasarathy on Wikipedia. This book has mantras which addresses specific problems. Belief is everything! If you believe and trust Vishnu Sahasranama do chant this.

Buy a copy of this book if possible.
