We, earnestly, solicit your views and advice re. Auroville. Please suggest how we can make the best of the above visit to arrive at meaningful conclusions and how can we make our trip more fruitful. Also, it will help if you could suggest some persons who can be contacted in this regard either in Auroville or anywhere else. Thanking you, we remain, Yours faithfully, Shrawan, Surabhi, Seema and Sejal Gupta 98197 59490 Telefax: 022 4005 5949 shrawan_g at hotmail.com MOTHE R NATURE TRUST http://mothernaturetrust.50g.com 802 B, Birchwood, Opp. Galleria, Hiranandani Gardens, Powai, Mumbai- 400076 PLEASE CONNECT US TO LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE. Sir, We have dedicated our lives for promotion of Natural farming and, without any monetary or social expectations of any kind, we are identifying suitable villages to play appropriate roles in the process of development of ideal villages with a special focus on WATER CONSERVATION, Animal Husbandry, HORTICULTURE and every activity directly or indirectly related to rural development. It is our burning, inner desire to see this World a safe, happy and healthy place to live for one and all. For this purpose we will use our own resources, knowledge and experience to train villagers how to live a simple and happy life by practicing the original, natural methods of farming. Precisely, we need from you information concerning suitable villages like Ralegan Siddhi, Hivre Bazaar, Bahirgaon or any such village where the local people are honest, hard-working and simple being led by self-less leaders like Anna Hazare and/or Baba Ramdev or any such person. We can use our capabilities to the best in understanding and fulfilling the true needs of the World, especially, the most deserving and most helpless constituents of the World only when disturbances from vested interests are avoidable as far as possible. All our energies are wasted in fighting against corruption, hypocrisy, materialism and confusion prevalent almost everywhere. We repeat that specifically we need guidance from you so that we choose villages, communities where we can 24 hours focus on constructive and desirable activities and make this world a better place to live for one and all while creating alternatives/role models for many silent sufferers like us. We believe that the process of victory of good over evil can be expedited in those places where the balance of power is towards goodness. Therefore, we are trying to list such villages where the work of re-engineering will be less difficult. For example, when we answer a question paper in any examination we try to solve the easiest questions on priority so that we can concentrate on the difficult ones with more power and vigor. And, because we are new to this field we want to ensure that initial discouragements do not scare us. It is not possible for us to rate the levels or balance of honesty and efficiency of the people. This information is, readily, easily available at the Block levels, particularly, the BDOs, the Tahsildars and other local officials in the Police, Agriculture, Social Forestry, Ground Water Survey, Tribal Development, Irrigation, Co-operation, Revenue and many other Government departments. A great amount of frustration and trial and error methods can be avoided when readily available information is studied before undertaking any activity. However, the District Collector, the ZP CEO, the Divisional Commissioner and the Commissioner/Superintendent of Police need to co-ordinate so that correct, accurate and reliable information is made available by the Taluka / Village level functionaries, especially, the Block Development Officers, Taluka Agriculture Officers, Tahsildars and so on. We know that if a village is ruled by the negative elements we will definitely fail. Therefore, we have not been able to finalize one or more villages. It is possible to manage the negative elements if we are prepared and well-equipped with information, in advance. Therefore, we are trying to locate villages where the tendencies are favorable for truth, honesty, efficiency and other positive, desirable values. We are not strong enough to take on the negative forces. And, we will never, ever bow down in front of villains of the world. This is the reason that so far we have not been able to execute such a holy mission. We can function, effectively, in any locality where we are supported by approximately, more than 50 per cent of the population, the District Collector, the ZP CEO, the Divisional Commissioner and the Commissioner/Superintendent of Police. Our father is a freedom fighter, jailed thrice for the freedom. Our whole family has been fighting tooth and nail against each and every negative element whether in or outside the family. One of us, Shrawan, has lived in Edmonton, Canada for three years, from 1980 to 1983. All four of us are very good administrators. Our skills are mainly related to EFFICIENT ADMINISTRATION of any activity, anywhere and in any subject. We will do everything possible to boost the quality, quantity and methods of Agriculture in villages. Our past efforts in this direction were not very encouraging as the Govt. Depts., Villagers and Property-Consultants, etc. were all bent on extracting money from us. Nobody wants to work for a common cause, which will benefit a group of people. Everytime we tried to identify and buy even a quarter of an acre of a suitable agricultural land, we were cheated in one way or the other. We are already in touch with the highest authorities, the IAS, IPS and other officers of the State and Central Governments and many other like-minded individuals/ Institutions. All of us can play our part in the movement initiated by Shri Baba Ramdev in this regard. Thanking you, we remain, Yours faithfully, Shrawan, Surabhi, Seema and Sejal Gupta 98197 59490 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Picture in Times of India by a reporter who interviewed us Seema and Sejal with Shri Anna Hazare Shrawan, Surabhi, Seema and Sejal Gupta 98197 59490 Telefax: 022 4005 5949 shrawan_g at hotmail.com MOTHE R NATURE TRUST http://mothernaturetrust.50g.com 802 B, Birchwood, Opp. Galleria, Hiranandani Gardens, Powai, Mumbai- 400076 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
