Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Dear Dr Chandoraji and Drubaji, Namaste. Thank you for your encouraging and supportive messages. I have now arrived in Gauhati Assam.Today representatives from NE India's Tribes are beginning their all India Tour to highlight the facts about the cultural genocide they have experianced.This tour will take them all over India. I am very happy to let you all know that I was involved in the genesis of this tour idea. We hope to continue the tour into the USA and beyond. anyone who wants to help is welcome. In regards to Druba's question about the Tribals being Vashnavas.Actually they are not. They are followerrs of the indigenous Danyi Polo faith. They see the Sun as being the Supreme Mother Goddess of all creation. It was because of my support in their struggle that they were very interested to know about Prabhupada and his message of Harinam Sankirtan.These were the Hill-Mari tribals and Nyishi tribals. A few were Shiva Bhaktas and one man, a police officer in charge of the weapons stockade was a Hanuman Bhakta. He trusted Hanuman to guard the police armory so that he could attend the program. He is also a poet and sang us his original compositions glorifying Hanuman. It was a very enlivening experiance for all of us. I am always very pleased to get some nice words from my old friend and advisor Dr Chandoraji. You are in way my Guru. It was through your organising the 1st WAVES conference that I began my Vedic activist carreer. Koti Koti Pranams to you.
