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.

[@Aengus42]

5:38 Hey Krishna! Hi from Folkestone. You've probably run past me when I looked after the canal you used to use to fly that bloody Chinook down to the firing ranges. That thing, below tree height, following the canal, fuck me it made me jump! Keep safe man & I'm always grateful that Ayo Gorkhali! 😎☮️

[@John-l9p6e]

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.

Krishna is such a warm spiritual person and its lovely seeing his connection and love of the environment and people around him. The Gurkha regiment is one of the finest regiments the British Army has, they should be respected and honoured by this country's government equal pay, pension and rights.

Absolutely, you are so very right. Joanna Lumley many years ago protested very loudly on behalf of the Ghurkas for exactly that. Equal pay and Pension rights. These men are well respected by other Armies everywhere. Only not by the Boffins in Whitehall. Cheers from Oz. 😮 🦘

[@wewillrise3934]

Gurkhas never ever belonged to India . Gurkha regiment was started by Britishers in British India. Britishers were very impressed by bravery shown by gurkhas in Nepal British war.

Gurkhas dont fight anyone unless they are in a gang, like when they kicked a boy to death In Belize.

[@andyb190]

I watched a tv show where a young guy had to carry his father miles across a mountain every week. 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. Their bravery is second to none because they see life differently.

[@PETER-c4n]

That's who they are, and they would even do that for a stranger.

[@RossNaylor-nh5uv]

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.

Their campaign was rejected by the European Court, It was BS to fool the gullible British public into giving them more money on a contract that was already good for them as Nepalis, they were never UK citizens . By the way the hunger strikes were faked and done in shifts.

[@nemo6686]

In what way exactly are they mistreated by the UK government - equality of pay, pensions and conditions to UK soldiers, perhaps? If so, have you considered the possibility that equality in all forms would make the continuance of British Gurkha recruitment unsupportable on military or financial grounds? After all, why go to all the extra expense of maintaining facilities in Nepal and dealing with distinct cultural and language issues if all other things are equal?

[@jamestyler3449]

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.

@leewarnes1373 you are absolutely spot on instead the Government give’s these so called refugees ( young males of fighting age ) everything they want and it’s still not good enough for them, absolutely disgusting how the west has it all so arse backwards 😡 hopefully things will change and get better 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@billwillson5361]

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]

​@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.

[@LtGenAile]

For some reason, I always believed that for a young Nepalese chap, being a Gurkha rifleman was IT. You will forever be a rock star. Clearly, some went a little further.

[@watson3267]

Should do a movie about this guy. What a story!!

[@ForceMediaHQ]

We would watch that!

Bravest and loyalist, in WWII serving in India, my father an Airforce NCO was incharge of a Gurkha Platoon. When my father was hung-over, his Gurkha batman shaved him and woke him for muster parade. So be it.

[@ThirstyOtter]

Another fantastic interview. Kris is quite an amazing character, what a life he has experienced.

[@ForceMediaHQ]

I completely agree! Kris has such a unique perspective and his life experiences are truly inspiring.

[@Tom-hl7wc]

First interview of yours I’ve listened to and I’ve got to say you have great interviewing skills. Not interrupting but also when needed, bringing the most out of the person being interviewed to get the most out of it. Many can’t do that.

[@billkingston4402]

I was on a train years ago and a platoon of Gurkha Rifles came aboard, I have never met such polite warriors

[@nixonsmateruby1]

Thank you for your service mate.

[@markcolby1978]

Gurkhas never get to fight. The enemy keeps running away or surrendering.

[@southpawlibranine3511]

My grandfather was a Gurkha and served in WWII and so were 4 of my uncles

That's incredible! Your family's legacy in the Gurkha regiment is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing their stories!

Got to be the best military interview I’ve seen. What a special (and humble) guy

Listening to this now..Gurkha's..why we still only recruit so few of these lads is not right .. even the lads that fail gurkha selection are top rank..respect..class show as always ✌️

Its called selection for a reason. Anyone can apply.

[@snowflakemelter1172]

Complete BS. Gurkhas are low grade infantry not special forces.
