URI-TRAVELLING PEACE ACADEMY (TPA) RESPONSE

Congratulations on a successful TPA training. It is heartwarming to see all these new and old friends,from many regions, gathered in Kerala. Imagining the richness of the training, the depth of sharing that is happening, I’m sure all our founding MI/TPA members join me in acknowledging you, Sally and all participants and

trainers. I’m so pleased that this event is forwarding URI on many levels, and am looking forward to the actions that will emerge from this training. You are the best of what is to come! All blessings and love,

Dear Abraham and Friends

Namaste and greetings of peace! Thanks to you all for a beautiful and productive training conducted in Kerala. I write this mail from a 50 hours train ride back to

home, this is my second evening in the train where I got a little chance to access internet and I would love to dedicate this time to acknowledge the efforts of TPAtraining where my thoughts weaved a web with morals and senses. Furthermore the context of MI fueled me to transform my senses into sensation as Swami Chaturvedi’s enriching speech on interfaith moved all of us. Though the time was short to focus more in depth about MI as Sally mentioned that earlier many were a bit skeptical and that’s may be reason, we could not go further in deeper discussions, but I had managed myself to engage with each individual to ignite my passion and uplift the organizational actions to a bigger flare specially in India. I thank all that contributed in my growth. I thank Abraham for his tremendous and inclusive efforts to make the event more productive. You have done it Abraham!Hats Off. Sally , I was shocked to see your incredible energy level, or maybe I have not seen before that’s raging and blazing energy of yours. Your contribution made the event splendid. Thanks for your inputs into making a strongerURI in our region. I am and will be going forward with “Fusion Leadership” , as I develop more contents I would be connecting with you all to weave the web of

relationship and let us all find our anchor points in those potential candidates. I thank Hira Paul ji and Aswani Ji as they are my good strength. We missed Ms. Qutub, our west zone URI coordinator but sure we will catch up.Well! This is another chance for me here in the 50 hrs train ride; I could give all the lectures to my co leader Mr. Kaushik Chatterjee who otherwise would not have

given me that much of time to listen to my speech. He plays a good role as Administrative Assistance for URI east zone. Well whenever you need to give a long lecture just take your participants in a long train journey, very simple. ( Ha ha , Just kidding) . But it was very enriching for Mr. Kaushik to attend the MI training which will help our members to increase the leadership qualities. Again I thank each one for their contribution and looking forward to continue for a fruitful discussion. Nice to meet Dr. Jinwol and my African and Srilankan Friends Thanks, Thanks and Thanks                Biswadeb Chakraborti (West Bengal)

Dear Senior Colleagues and Friends,Sincere greetings, peace and blessings to you.

I am happy to inform you that I arrived home safely today, after several hours of waiting in Mumbai.Interestingly, Nyambura and I both met in Mumbai and travelled on the same flight to Addis before going our separate ways. Each one of you made a huge positive difference in my life and for this I am sincerely grateful. Now that the training has come and gone, I do believe that the greatest challenge now begins. Each one of us has a solemn duty to internalise the contents of the training and let such bear positive fruits in our own lives, and by so doing, transform our society, beginning with one person and one community at a time.

Thank you so much. May Peace reign in our hearts and in our world, Amen.
