Good work !
Is there one page from where all your blog/articles can be accessed? They are
scattered all over the pages and navigating and sometimes finding them is very
tedious.
May god bless you.

Hi,
Can you put a link something like INDEX on each page, when clicked gives a list of all
of your blogs/ articles on jyotish.
Many good articles are listed by post date, the subject or title is missing. Thanks.

Thank you for visiting the pages.
This is the way blogs are structured. I think once I have substantial articles, I will
create my own website and structure the articles properly.
