Still, as I said before, I am truly amazed that some that get here don't do enough reading. And I must say there have been a few 'ignorant' Indians come here too.

But then that above average person should not be perturbed by the use of the word malechha, only if the cap fits.
lets face it we are all, or at least I am ignorant or else I would not be stuck in this place called duhkhalayam asasvatam a place of miseries; and temporary.
If someone interest falters at first hurdle then he can not be very serious because we know to follow Dharma is not bed of roses, a true Guru will test the sisya’s resolve to the hilt.
TTA and some others do not mince their words, so what ? only good can come out of it, it is a reminder for us to become humble, our ego get bruised but then it is our ego we need to over come.
I live in a country where I am constantly reminded that I do not belong here, so should I quit because someone do not like me?

Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
