    Chaye Pe Charcha | चाय पे चर्चा 7 - In this very interesting episode,  Astha rediscovers the real story of undying love, devotion & chastity in Sati. There is no book greater than life, and  there is no dedication greater than love. For me love is the satvik  element of life and the sat is not in the knowledge but in living life with love. This is the real story of Sati, which helps to understand  devotion in her life through dedicated love and austerity. Her unconditional love described her from prostitution to the status of a  goddess.
