      LIVING BEING IS OUR RACE,MANKIND IS OUR RELIGION HINDU,MUSLIM,SIKH,CRISTAIN,THERE IS NO SEPARATE RELIGION
      ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB❤
      Who is complete God according to ORTHODOX JEWISH BIBLE ?
      Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
      See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding).
      Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose.
      In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God.
      Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok( ETERNAL PLACE) 😊😊
      God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok❤
      Allah Kabir in Holy Quran Sharif, Surat Furkani 25, verse no. 52-59
      Verse 25:52:- Fala-Tutiyal-Kafiran-ve-Jahidhum-Bihi-Jihadan-Kabiran”, it is clearly written ‘Kabiran’
      We can call it ‘Kabir’ or Kabira’ or ‘ Kabiran’ or ‘Khabira’ or ‘Khabiran. It is clear this is Kabira.
      The translators of the Quran interpret it as "do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur'an a great striving".
      However, Prophet Muhammad’s God is saying that Oh Prophet! Do not listen to the kafir (disbelievers, who instead of worshipping one God, worship other gods-goddesses and idols etc) because those people do not consider Kabir as the Supreme God. You may remain firm on the basis of the knowledge of the Quran given by me that, Kabir only is the Supreme God, and may struggle (Do Not Fight) i.e. remain rigid for Allah Kabir. ❤
      HINDU VEDA
      Mantra Sankhya 1400 Samveda Utarchik Adhyay no.12 Khand no. 3 Shloka no. 5 says that the Supreme God Kabir manifests on Earth to spread awareness about the correct spiritual knowledge by means of His Shabdavali:
      “Bhadra vastra samanya3vasaano mahaan kavirnivachnani shansan ||
      Aa vachyasv chamvoH pooymaano vichakshano jaagrvirdevveetau|| 5||
      Bhadra - vastra - samanya - vasaanH - mahaan - Kavir - nivachnani - shansan - aavachyasv - chamvoH - pooymaanH - vichakshanH - jagrviH - Dev - veetau||
      Translation: (VichakshanH) Clever people (aavachyasv) through their speeches, instead of telling the true path of the way of worship of Purna Brahm, by directing towards the worship of others, in place of nectar, (pooymaanH) pus from a boil in the form of the worship of others [like, ghost-worship, Pitra-worship, worship of the three gunas {Rajgun-Brahma, Satgun-Vishnu, Tamgun-Shankar} and worship of Brahm-Kaal] (chamvoH) are respectfully making sip the wrong knowledge (bhadra) the supremehappiness-giving (mahaan Kavir ) Supreme God Kabir (vastra) in a body in an ordinary attire i.e. {the meaning of 'vastra' is 'attire' - in saint language, it is also called 'chola'. Chola means body. Like, if a saint leaves his body, then it is said that Mahatma has left his chola}, (samanya) acquiring another body made up of mass of lights [tejpunj] similar to that of Satyalok (vasaanH) by spending life like a common man and living in the world for a few days (nivachnani) by means of his Shabdavali1 , the true knowledge (shansan ) by explaining (Dev) of the Supreme God (veetau) hidden Sargun-Nirgun knowledge (jagrviH) awakens/brings awareness about❤
      PRESENT MESSENGER of ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ 🙏🙏

      Krishna Thapa- We saw the Gurkha soldiers near the barracks in Church Crookham (Quetta park) and in Fleet in the 90's. Every single Gurkha wore an immaculate green jacket, pressed trousers, perfectly polished shoes buttons buckles etc.. well groomed hair, and full attention given to every detail of their appearance when they left the barracks. They were always polite and respectful, every single one of them were the most well presented respectful soldiers I have ever seen (most certainly when compared to the British ones down the road in Aldershot over that decade!)
      Great interview, very interesting.

      If they took the top 1000 who failed Gurkha selection and allowed them to join the British military, then this would be a good and sensible thing, otherwise it's a waste. Imagine the 1000 "failures" joining the British infantry, they would kick arse!

    Without a doubt what Krishna has achieved and done in life is simply mind bending. I am disgusted by how the UK government continues to treat Gurkhas as second class citizens. If these brave men are willing to lay down their lives for Great Britain then they bloody well deserve the exact same pay as their respective UK based counterparts, full benefits and full British citizenship!

    As American when I was with the 3/75 we went to Belize and served along side and trained with the 4th Princess Ghurkas. Patrolling the border with Guatemala. Had 5 fire fights with the Guats. None of us were hit. Later in life, served along side the 7th Duke of Edinburgh Ghurkas. That was a fun year! They are true professionals. Totally warriors, ancient warriors. They are violent when it comes to war. I was happy they were on our side. Great sense of humor and genuine guys.

We were in Ypres for the two minute silence and a coach of old Gurkhas turned up, they were immaculately turned out, very proud and polite men. When it was over and time to leave the guy in charge just put his hand on his head and all the old Gurkhas politely said goodbye and walked to their coach, it was such a pleasure to meet and see them, thanks for the interview.

    He carried him in a basket with the strap across his forehead.
    When the interviewer asked "Isnt he heavy" his reply was along the lines of "He is my father, how can he he heavy?"
    He looked genuinely puzzled by the question. This shows you the mindset that makes a Gurkha.

    Used to help recruit the boys back in Nepal. Central Selection is no joke, and just to make it through Regional is an achievement in itself. The years I was there there were upwards of 16,000 applications for 150 spots. When the pukka hill boys turn up and you see the Goldstar trainers on you know it's on.

    My old man worked with the Gurkha's in Burneo back in the 60s.He always said they were the best soldiers he ever worked along side and had the upmost respect for them.What a humble individual this man is Disgraceful how the government treat these men once they complete there service,they should be giving the choice to stay here & be giving a house etc,they deserve it for what they do/have done for the British government. Things need to change immediately.

      Nepal wants them back and is part of the treaty,that is the agreement. It's unfortunate in a way but I also understand Nepal wanting these incredible men back at home at the end of their service,as they're natural leaders and philosophical warriors. They add to the society and are valuable citizens and men. From a rational and non-emotional standpoint it makes perfect sense.

    • @TGriffiths-ve6nw
      @TGriffiths-ve6nw 2 месяца назад

      ​@billwillson5361 Well maybe Nepal does want them back but what is waiting for them there? A good job or poverty?
      After service for 5 years I think it would be proper to ask the individual soldier what they want.
      Nepal has already benefitted by way of the salaries being sent home to Nepal.
      These brave men have earned the right to be offered citizenship if they want it.
      Pensions should be automatic no questions asked. Otherwise it is just usury.

    What a fantastic guy, and a brilliant interview, thanks to both of you. I first met Gurkhas during the firemans' strike in 1977. The men of Hereford in 1982, as they crossed decked to my ship before going forward onto dry land. Later on we were in the vicinity when a Sea King went down after a bird strike, a black day for everyone involved, but we did our best for them, but it wasn't enough and it still haunts me. God bless those brave men, and thanks to you all for having the courage to go out and do dark deeds so that we may sleep safely in our beds.

    I'm from PNG in the South Pacific. I've heard of the gurkhas, men from Nepal recruited into and serving in the British Army. I even saw some of their Documentaries, the process they went through to become gurkhas. Fearless fighting soldiers, the best when it comes to knives fighting, deadly warriors.The best as well in jungle fight. Even though I'm a policeman serving in the RPNGC (SSD), I had so much respect for them.. They deserved the best and more from the British Government when they are done with their service in the British Arm Forces... Salute you man for you achievement and service. 👍... 🇵🇬
