Things which are not entrusted to us as our legacy (Even-though those arguments

in astronomical calculations doesn’t hold water), ppl are saying it is

our legacy. What an Irony!!!!

 

Things which our ancestors have given us are our legacy,and ppl are refuting it

and giving abuses to followers of VEDAS and PURANS. Due to God grace our

ancestors were correct, in their way of writing about astronomical things (Means

they have used Cardinal points to calculate ages and to tell about their current

running age)

 

We all know devils (from other cultures ie GREEKS) also use to be around us and

those devils' clans in past used our HINDU Gods names to pose their wrong

astronomical works (Sidhanta) and they hijacked our whole community and

brainwashed all Hindus' Minds and said that whatever they are writing, means

corrupted Sidhanta (though wrong astronomical works why wrong,, because they are

Devils ( Rakshas Kahinkay) ) is our culture. Hey Ram !!!

Those Devils(Terrorists, Aatankwadi log) are still around and roaming around,,

even on internet- forums now-a-days.

 

It is nice that still those testimonials (Our Pious VEDAS and PURANS (HINDU

PURANS)) are between us and we can authenticate Hindu Culture's history.

 

It’s really hurting to see that we are following some other cultures

Calendar. Its really desecration, denigration and degradation of VEDAS and

PURANS (aray Ram-Ram chi chi chi)

 

Jai HINDU Jai HINDU-VEDA

Jai Hind
