Your Message for Canadians of Asian Origin

Always believe in ‘Karma” and keep your karmic account in plus. You may experience negativities. However, truth will prevail ultimately. Love and affection are the important tools which add to your happiness and help others to lead happy life. Give back to society in any way you can like money, time and energy. Universal brotherhood is Omni present, preach and practise.
