 "The
Lord has sent me into world for the purpose of spreading Dharma
(Righteousness) every where and to destroy the evil doers root and
branch. Know ye holy men! I have come solely for the purpose of
establishing Dharma, protecting the Saints and completely uprooting the
wicked men." History of Nanded
