Dear Michael,
It gives me pleasure to inform you that I browsed Zaadz website with a lot of interest. Besides, I went through certain portions of the attachments that I received along with your email.
First of all, I would like to congratulate for your mastery work on "The Creation of Conscious Culture Through Educational Innovation" and "Prediction Innovation Markets and World Peace."
In my view, your proposal on "Create Peace and Support Democracy in Nepal" is innovative. Whatever that you have suggested for the American people to support the cause of sustainable peace in Nepal is pragmatic. However, I would like you to consider two root factors that led to the conflict - one was the unemployed hands and the other was the lack of spiritual feelings among the common Nepalese population.
Until recently, about 2000 people used to cross Nepal boundary for their desinations in India each day to save their lives from the government and rebel forces. Even now, approximately 500 people are leaving the country each day for employment in different countries, including in Middle East, Korea, Japan, Malaysia and the others. Over 400,000 people have been displaced from the rural to urban areast. 75,000 girls have been forced to work in the cabin restaurants, dance bars, massage parlours, etc. in the urban areas, who are mostly subject to all sorts of sexual exploitations. Simiarly, child labour problem in domestics, street children, etc. are at the peak. It is estimated that each year 12,000 girls/women are trafficked to India alone. Thousands of girls are trafficked within the country each year. The situation has aggravated to such an extent that certain groups of people have been forced to go for organ transplantation. These are hard realities, but are the bitter truth.
Such spiritual feeling as Atmabat Sarbbhuteshu (meaning the presence of the same soul in each instinct) fast decayed. As a result, one throttled or killed the other and brought the economic activities to standstill. Since the conflict is the outcome of mental state, the problem cannot be resolved if people do not feel the need of revival of this feeling of oneness, which is the very essence of spiritualism. But for this our own people are capable. The only thing that is needed is to support the institutions or individuals who aspire to bring spiritual revoluciton. Impact of such activities, however, cannot be confined to any particular boundary. As the sun knows no boundary, the ideas of spiritual person know no boundary. And the entire mankind might be benefited from this. When we speak spiritualism, it is beyonng religion.
Besides, what we need to do is to support the development activities - be it related to the tourism, carpet industry, garment industry, handicrafts or even the software industries. In this process, the Business Council for Peace can really play an important role.
I will be the happiest person to support peace initiative in Nepal and elsewhere. Our research centre, CETS, could be a liasion office between the Americans and Nepalese in facilitating the peace process - be it in matter of economic support to the Nepalese or even in the spiritual development. American people can learn from the Nepalese and make their life better if the spiritual traditions of Nepal are revived.
Dear friend, I am prepared to shake hands with you warmly in carrying out the peace and development efforts and thereby help the millions to have a better life tomorrow.
Looking forward for fruitful cooperation.
With regards,
Hari Bansh Jha
