I am a serving Major in the Indian Army originally from Bihar, though born and brought up in Maharashtra. I am presently in contact with a Management expert dedicated to Gurudev, and have been promised of all advice as and when required.

I would like to pass on a bit of ‘knowledge’ I came across in my spiritual education process. I don’t know its effect; but, hoping for the best, here goes:

“Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. For someone who has already attained 90 degrees temperature in his past life; he has to attain only 10 degrees more to reach perfection (boiling point; like Gurudev). Whereas, for one who has achieved only 15 degrees temperature in his past life, he will have to struggle that much more to advance in the spiritual realms.”

So, you would be well advised to please desist from your attempts at objectively analysing the cause of success of Gurudev; and focus your energies towards realising the purpose of your taking birth in human form on planet earth. I know I can do little to convince you of your good fortune to be born in India. However, just try and realise that in a few years; you will depart from this worldly existence… and try and plan your remaining years to be utilised in the best possible manner.
My plans essentially involve setting up various ‘Food Parks’ all across the fertile areas of North Bihar which will manage the activity related to the food grains produced in the villages around them. I will raise the first such food park in Madhubani district; because though my parents are presently staying in Talegaon in Pune district- we have our property and relatives in village Babu Pali in Madhubani district of Bihar. I am married, and my wife is also from Madhubani district. I have a son and a daughter: both below 10 years of age. However, I am prepared to go to our house in Madhubani at the earliest possible for me to start the required activity for the Food Parks. My parents and wife are aware of the plans and are obviously apprehensive regarding my future; but I am confident that when I have surrendered everything to Gurudev (the Divine); I will be taken care of.
I could really do with some help. My email is bpfp@rediffmail.com. I request you to kindly contact me at the earliest.

I am a follower of Gurudev since 13 Apr 2002. I am a serving officer of the Indian Army, 35 yrs old, and the Basic Course conducted by Mr. Dinesh Nair in Jabalpur started on 13 Apr 2002. Since then, till now; life has not remained the same for me, as also the many others whom we are aware of. However, most of us are unable to go all out, in doing our bit for SEVA. I, somehow, am convinced that I am meant to initiate the revival of economic activity in Bihar; through Gurudev and the AOL.

This plan of mine, as and when it materialises; will result in a definite, perceptible decrease in the migration of ‘Biharis’ to other parts of India for menial pursuits, as is presently being noticed. The land in Bihar is very fertile due to the silt deposited by the rivers from neighbouring Nepal; over the years. This aspect is planned to be exploited, since the Indian food processing industry is projected to register exponential growth in the coming years. I want to direct my energies in this sector for the development of rural Bihar. I intend to initiate a successful enterprise in the rural areas of Bihar state relating to the food processing sector with the blessings of Gurudev, and the AOL.

THE PLAN. The plan is to establish various ‘harbours’ for food processing units (making items like Tomato sauce, Potato chips, Mango Jam, Juices and Pickles etc.); all across Bihar. These harbours will be built over a large area; and all facilities will be provided to the food processing units in them. It is planned to have all these harbours managed by the spiritually motivated volunteers of AOL; all from outside Bihar.

THE FUNDS There are many Venture Capital Funds in existence; which give their support in the initial stages to start-ups (enterprises) like this; so funds will not be a constraint. I am certain of securing around $ 2 Billion (or more) from the Venture Capitalists whom I have contacted with this proposal over Internet.

FURTHER DETAILS. All the harbours will be networked over computer (and Telephone; and physical means) to the Marketing Department; which will be located in Pune city, in Maharashtra state in India. The controlling HQ of the enterprise will be in Bangalore in Karnataka state of India. The enterprise is proposed to be called the Jai Bharat enterprises. The related legal and Tax issues can be taken care of, by the Taxation Department.

WHAT IS DESIRED FROM YOU

You are requested to kindly inform me about whom I should get in touch; in order to discuss the details of the proposed enterprise; especially the coordination that will be required regarding the AOL volunteers who are sent to Bihar.
