I am looking for your book, will contact the publishing house, as I am not finding it within 50 km here. It sounds like you are doing wonderful things I hope that we can meet some day in the future as well.
Are you familiar with the work of Ekta Parishad? We ( my son, Linkesh and I) attended a worship last weekend at P.V. Rajogopal's Centre in Madurai.
I think we have to step into new paradigms for land management, have some ideas I would like to discuss with you.
My personal email is auntykamala@gmail.com
God Bless You,
Loving you,
Aunty Kamala
