Patricia Y.

Great God bless peace Loving Sanatam Dharma Hindus world wide.
My concern is Hindus should stand as one community no casts. One can feel the Hindus are badly divided on cast basis.making week and timid. Why this has happened and who are people behind to creat unnecessary division. Dhatam Garus should stand up and fight for the cause to ensure Hindus as one community. One must understand this universe runs with every bodies contribution. One must understand and try to correct the mistakes. Dharmgarus should stand up and unit the Sanatam Dharma divided into different castes. God has made one universe with same air, water and day to day living items which keeps the humans on this earth alive and moving. Finally castes are not created by God. The evil minded people have created this.
