What is the problem

What is the problem?

The problem is, a person who can not read one word of Sanskrit, :-) is issuing certificate If my Sanskrit is good enough. :-)

The problem is people who have no clue what spirituality is, measure it in terms of bank balance or material wealth. :-)

The problem is, a person who can barely talk English properly is issuing certificate about my mother tongue. :-)

The problem is, how do they know what language I am speaking, when they can not speak English properly. :-) 

The problem is, instead of working on their language skills and communication skills they are issuing certificate If my skills are good enough. :-)

The problem is, a person who had spent all her life trying to trap one immigrant in to her fraudulent trap so that she can enjoy rest of her life at that immigrants cost, is making some people spend billions of dollars :-) to protect her agenda. :-)

The problem is, a person who had not spent one moment in anything other then living her independent life is talking rights, or who had not invested a moment in her relations is talking relations, that too long term. :-)

The problem is, a person who had spent all her life on her knees, in front of hundreds of men, is talking morals and wants to rule this world, she already got India in her kitty. :-)

India --- Aya ya ya ya Aya , when will they learn you don't play Monopoly with Shakuni's, :-) but it was Indian Duryodhan Vs Western Duryodhan and Western Shakuni's so India lost to west, hence the dancing, and how far it will go only time will tell, and how shameful they chose a prostitute. 

[The prostitute had perfected the art of oral sex in Geneva University, due to which her father died, :-) he could not take it, but she went on to remove her Uterus to continue on that path, :-) so I am sure she will make sure all Indians will learn that talent from her, :-) otherwise what do you think a prostitute will teach, "Arth Shastra" or "Vedanga". ]

The problem is, INDIA is like a donkey with a knowledge treasure on its back (Even Chaganti Koteshwar Rao said this, Bravo), and 99.99% Indians do not use it or they don't care about it, they want to go live near castles in London, :-) (Bride and Prejudice style) and Wimps in London want that treasure of knowledge.

The problem is 99.99% Indians do not practise Yoga, and they sell yoga to the world. :-)
The problem is 99.99% Indians do not speak Sanskrit but they are helping the prostitute (Who owns India now ;-) in 2019) to understand my level of Sanskrit. :-)
The problem is 99.99% Indians do not understand their religion, :-) and they want/are exporting it to the west.
The problem is 99.99% Indians do not give a damn about anything other then money. :-)

[You should see Indians now gosh they will never learn, :-) now I literally understand how just 100,000 British could run India for 300 years, it was because of Hitler that British left, otherwise even today British would have been ruling it from inside instead of from outside through USA/Australia/Canada, and some great grand son of M K Gandhi still be pleading (Satya Agraha) to leave India. :-)

It was only after joining the travel agency (In Montreal) owned and run by a Sikh from Delhi, I understood how 100,000 British soldiers who did not speak local languages could rule India for 300 years with such ease, It is true, :-) after seeing this sikh in word and action it is/was very clear, for British, ruling India was a cake walk, why 100,000 just 10 British soldiers could have done that. :-)

The problem is, few wimps who want the fraud :-) are throwing the prostitute everywhere.

The problem is, eventually it appears given the kind of throwing around the prostitute and nervousness among the wimp (Domestic Terrorists) population around the world, :-) she will reach the top in their scumbag society - eventually. :-) 

The problem is, I still fail to understand why bother me :-) If they want either this shit or that crap. :-)

The problem is, people who have not spoken to each other (With me also) in last 15 years are claiming that If certain things happens or certain thing are done by me in my life and in my home are because of them. :-)

The Problem is, then they also call me stupid. :-)

The problem is, people who have not stepped in to any place of worship in their entire lives, :-) are claiming they are Vishnu. (Vishnu means all pervading) :-)

The problem is, same people who once refused to answer my good wishing emails, i.e 15 years back are claiming my fingers are their property. :-)

The problem is, same people who once switched off the coffee machine in the cafeteria i.e. 15 years back are claiming my daily routine is all because of them or for them. :-)

The problem is, not just fingers but also my other body parts are claimed by them. :-) 

The problem is, people who can not move an inch on their own, need 10,000 paid government donkeys to show they are superior to me, well of course through the 10,000 donkeys.

The problem is, brown donkeys in India who are dancing to the tunes of some pale donkey in Canada via London or Australia, :-) are trying to tell me what to do with my personal accounts or personal property in Canada and India. :-)

The problem is, the same brown donkeys who might not have even met the pale donkeys in Canada/USA/UK or Australia, THEY are telling how good the pale donkey are. :-)

The problem is, people who could not manage a small scale pharmaceutical with 30 employees wants to rule the world and have managed/managing my small 1000$ per month part time business, :-) and you can imagine what must have happened to it, :-) same thing what ever happened to the pharmaceutical. :-)

The problem is, people who have not spoken in last 15 years are trying to shut down my CIBC account, which was my first Canadian account, but it survived till now. 

The problem is the people who were respected too much by me are claiming I insulted them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultimate Scumbag:

I was thinking it is not that bad either, THE WORLD NEEDS A SCUMBAG and not someone who will tell them how to live, follow morals, respect your parents, learn or follow Vedas, :-) Prostitute is the right choice for the leadership of the scumbag society, she has no issue with what so ever, no nothing, her heart is full with hate and she has already sold her soul to the devil (Satan).

Perfect choice, I laud Caucasian/Indian Wimp's choice. perfect. :-) she will be lot better then the 25% Jewish Fraud from Toronto, I think they are GAY, that is why it is so difficult to separate them, there was this picture with their faces attached. :-)

India has done the right thing by choosing her, because when stomachs are full, one can not see the divine reason or cause or presence, divine reason and cause are visible only after a real long bad experience.

Prostitute is THE ULTIMATE SCUMBAG, in fact born scum bag, she has only one item on her agenda, Sex, Sex, and only Sex, and Satan is all excited and enthusiastic with his teeth and claws, never before Satan got someone like this, so "Lots and Lots of Blood on the menu".

By the way many people on this Earth are already following the twisted religions, twisted by the Satan, and they have no clue what they are following, and now on top of this they have a Prostitute, :-) who thinks Atheism is the way, and look which country is first to adopt her as their Queen, :-) "Mera Bharat Mahan", I am 100% sure there must be some Sikh or Punjabi's hand in this.

So Enjoy your Prostitute- Fraud time.

नारदभक्तिसूत्राणि

Thousands of years before Christ, Ved Vyas and his desciple Jaimini were working on Uttara Mimamsa and Purva Mimamsa, (One of the six shastras from Vedanga, which deals with problems of action and thought, otherwise modern people call it Philosophy) though he believed that devotion should be पूजादिष्वनुराग इति पाराशर्यः | meaning doing regular puja (Prayer) was the ultimate/ideal way of devotion or ideal way of expressing devotion. Ved Vyas separated Vedas in four parts, gave outlines of Upa Nishaads,18 Puranas, Brahma sutras and Maha Bharata, then he was not able :-) to consolidate the knowledge to acquire true devotion in words, he asked the wandering Deva Rishi Narada to help him, Deva Rishi Narada wanders around the 14 worlds, 7 upper worlds (Earth is the Lowest in the upper worlds or 7th from top) and 7 lower worlds, gathering information, aspiring and guiding true spiritual aspirants and spreading true knowledge of devotion, and also creating trouble to the trouble makers. :-) So Deva Rishi Narada delivered all that knowledge in 84 Sutras, saying this is my opinion only, but each one is a milestone in the path of a devotee till he gets to a point where there is no return. (Free from the cycle of births and deaths). Atma (Soul) has no gender and Param-Atma also has no gender, now read and practise. :-)
