      ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB
      PRESENT MESSENGER of ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ 🙏🙏
      Who is complete God?
      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😊😊

      Yes, though not entirely honest about Chechen violence only being in response to an act of offense or attack against them first in the present tense. As in other Muslim cultures, there is also a willingness to see this in a historical context--i.e., if such-and-such people _ever_ offended or attacked my people, then it is our right to retaliate or exact revenge, etc., when and where we choose. It was interesting to listen to Americans be completely mystified when Saddam Hussein would talk about events of a thousand years ago as if they were still relevant for being responded to in the present.

However, the act of being shocked can’t be classified as an opinion but rather a human feeling that is unsolicited and unexpected. I think, in my quest to better understand the world and life in general, it is necessary to explore and try to understand how people operate within their own culture and environment. Only then will I become better educated and less ignorant. These vlogs lend themselves to the exploration. Thanks Eli!

      After the collapse of the USSR, many of these Germans went to live in Germany in search of a better life. Now there is a reverse trend, Russian Germans are returning to Russia and there are reasons for this. Cultural differences, in Russia if you have your own apartment or house, then no one should care what you do there. If you observe the law of silence, of course. In the evening and at night, you should not make loud noises that disturb your neighbors' sleep. There are crazy people in Russia who continue repairs in the middle of the night or like to listen to loud music in the middle of the night, using all the power of the speakers and subbuffer. Most often, angry neighbors come to them and offer to reduce the noise level and not disturb their rest, otherwise their hammer drill or subwoofer may end up under their back. If the neighbors are too weak, they call the police. In Russia, if you respect the rights of other people, then you don’t have any problems. In Germany, if you are repairing a car in your own garage, you will have to hide from your neighbors, otherwise they may call the police, since you do not have a license to repair a car. It is impossible to repair the pipeline yourself without a license. Failure to mow your lawn on time will result in a fine. It is impossible to have your own point of view on any events; if your point of view differs from the ruling party, then it is better to hide it, otherwise you will become an outcast and may lose your job. Perhaps these are exaggerations that German relatives who returned to Russia told me. I understand that they were emotionally upset. And they may have greatly exaggerated. But I'm just saying what I was told. My father told me that I could emigrate to Germany as a German by blood on his side. Moreover, if you look at the male branch of their family tree, although I am a half-breed, I am the last male in the family. At that time, I was not the last man in the family, but I believed that my father had absolutely no need to know about my two sons from different women. I didn't see the point in emigrating. I would have to learn German, in Russia I am already a man, in Germany I would be a miserable migrant thirsting for help. Why do I need this humiliation?

    My family is from the appalachian mountains in the US. Often described as the poorest area in the country and backwards for keeping old traditions. I've heard many appalachians say they'd rather be poor at home in the mountains, than have some money somewhere else. We also always make sure the oldest has the best seat in the house and if there's only os many seats, whoever is the oldest gets them. The rest of us will stand or sit on the floor. Appalachia was pretty isolated until the 90s also when the internet came around and opened up the outside world to them. I brought my sister in law down to appalachia and she was so surprised by how nice strangers were and how accommodating, because people have a feeling they should stay out of appalachia because they might get shot for being an outsider. Lots of similarities here.

    Hi I am a so called Russian German. I was born in Ukraine and we moved when I was 3 to Leningrad (USSR times) when I was 10 we moved to Germany.
    So my grandmother and her sister were banned and lived in Kasachstan, my mom and her brothers were born there. We all live now in Germany. Sadly my grandmother passed away before we all moved.
    I just wanted to talk about the Ingushetian food. The dish you were eating is a variant of the German "Käsespätzle" or "Spätzle". Its a traditional dish with doug and cheese, served with some beacon. It has his roots in the Schwarzwald region in Germany, the city you probably know the best there is Stuttgart. Same with the second dish the gentlemen was talking about. It for sure "Knödel". These are balls made out of doug and potatoes, often served with meat. This dish has his roots also in the Schwarzwald region and also in south Germany. Most Germans that came with Katharina the 2nd were from this region, like my ancestors. I hope this was interesting for someone 😊😊 I wrote it in English so most would understand.

I am happy that life has calmed down for Ingush people. For a long time I wanted to know what this place really looks like and what are its people and this video provided valuable information, thank you.
