Transcend Wal-Mart, Work for Peace in Nepal

The flurry of attention to Wal-Mart distracted me from more important business. We need to focus on those issues that are important. I have been remiss in my communications with Hari Bansh Jha. His next missive: Blessed Michael, I took some time to reply you because we were off-electricy for two days together. Anyway, I will check the blog at Zaard today itself and go through the conversation. In regard to your query about CETS, I have attached herewith its brochure. This will give you some details about our mission, activities and resources. Over the years, this small organization has been conducting research and studies mainly on socio-economic issues. Besides, it has also been conducting workshops and seminars, apart from publishing research work. However, I am alone to handle this organization at my home, though I have additional family support in the day-to-day activities. I employ scholars and researchers as and when I find project of multi-disciplinary nature. The employees go once the work is completed. However, as I have been advancing in my age, I am getting less and less taste in my professional life as an economist. As I have no other assured source of income, I have to earn bread and butter through research activities. My CV will give you a glimpse of some of the projects that we completed. Now I wish to give a twist to my life at the age of 54. I want to devote all my time to my own spiritual development. Besides, if there is anything to share with the world, I will do it as well. For this, I am thinking of one spiritual research centre, where I could practice and work on spiritual projects along with the team of researchers, such as on Raj Yoga (Royal Yoga) or the Vedas. I have one spiritual project in my mind at the moment. We can work together on this, if you like. Or, else if I can get some support, I can go independently, as well. The project is all about the Raj Yoga (Royal Yoga) i.e. spiritual knowledge as taught by the ALMIGHTY. The knowledge on Raj Yoga was passed to the SUN by the ALMIGHTY, which was later on shared with Ishaku, the saint. Again, this knowledge passed on to King Janak of Mithila (part of the state now is in India and part in Nepal) some 10,000 years ago. Part of this information was revealed by Lord Krishna to Aryuna during the Mahabharat War after 5000 years. We have some information on the Raj Yoga as revealed by Lord Krishna to Aryuna in some of the stanzas of the Gita, the holiest of the holy scriptures of the Hindus. But there are other original texts on Raj Yoga, which is in the form of spiritual discourses between King Janak and his spiritual Guru, Yagjnyabalka. Raj Yoga is the most simple technique to get enlightened spiritually. Consulting various literature in Sanskrit and other Indian/Nepali languages, a master work in English could be prepared on Raj Yoga, which might later on be translated into other languages. The present King of Thailand has taken keen interest on King Janak's spiritual work, but that is more in story form. We need to work more seriously on this project "Raj Yoga" for the larger interest of the human beings bleeding so badly under mistrust, violence and terrorism. There are several other spiritual areas as well where we can undertake projects.The researchers trained at this centre will be able to enlighten the people in Nepal and so to say anywhere in the world. By developing web site and also through the on-line service the results of the spiritual research could be shared with all the aspiring souls on the earth irrespective of cast, creed and sex. Since I lack any assured support for some of these activities, the ideas are locked in the mind. The east is so poor that it does not understand the importance of the jwels that it has. It is merely confined with the rituals. On the other hand, the west has understood its importance, but it will take a pretty long time to train the aspiring souls in this part of the world to learn how to go inside. Is it possible to utilize some of the resources generated by the spiritual persons in America for the above spiritual project, which aims at developing love, kindless, compassion and aboveall the feeling of ONENESS among the human beings. Maybe, what I am writing to you is the flow coming from the nature mother. Who knows? I think so because you are the one with whom I have opened to this level...Or, else the money could also be utilized to address such issues through research and/or talk programme as related to conflict and inviting debate or discussion on interim constitution, constituent assembly, displaced population, human trafficking, creating pressure on government and donor agencies for raising employment opportunities through massive dose of development activities and addressing question of arms management, which are of immediate concern to the Nepalese people. In regard to transferring the small amount, I checked with the Nepalese Bank about PayPal. But these people are unaware of it. I was suggested that the normal practice, which you might know well, is the swift code. In case, the money is to be transferred to Nepal, the Swift Code would be, for example, EVBLNPKA, Account No. & Name of a person for which the correspondent Banks could be: City Bank N.A. NY 10043 New York, USA or Standard Chartered Bank NY 10048, New York, USA or American Express Bank Ltd New York, NY US May God Bless you! With devotion, Hari Bansh Jha
