Ram Navami Greetings

Namaste:

Thank you for all the wonderful support you've given to Save Ram Sethu Campaign and our sister organization, the Living Planet Foundation.

We believe the festival of Ram Navami grants all of us a good opportunity to unite under the banner of Shri Ram and remind ourselves of the true message ingrained in the story of Shri Ram's Sethu: Our success lies in our unity. And success is not just an expression of our strength. It's a measure of our wisdom to do the right thing at the right time.

Ours is a proud and ancient civilization. Today, nowhere on earth can you find such a rich and multi-layered tradition of heritage and wisdom left behind for us by the great Rishis of the Vedic age. Shri Ram and Ramayan are the heart and soul of our Dharma. In spite of an onslaught of armies and hostilities, the glorious name of Shri Ram has survived every invasion, every natural calamity, every deadly disease and outbreaks to remain as that ideal model of Divinity for a billion plus torch bearers, who by their sheer numbers, have demonstrated a greater cultural stamina than any other people on earth. Without a doubt, the essential basis of this insurmountable culture is an intuitive conviction that the presence of Shri Ram is eminent in every moment of a person's life. Together, lets us pledge to keep it that way.

As we observe this sacred festival of Ram Navami, we are delighted to inform you that the world's first "International Sacred Site" nomination process of the Gulf of Mannar, home of Shri Ram Sethu, is progressing well. The nomination was the result of the efforts of our sister organization, the Living Planet Foundation that had organized the first meeting in London last November calling for the Gulf of Mannar to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Our work to save our heritage is not yet over. We are actively pursuing our Campaign calling for the cancellation of the Sethusamudram Ship Canal Project and to nominate the Gulf of Mannar as a World Heritage Site.

We need your financial support to sustain our effort. We know how strapped our supporters are in these tough economic times, and appreciate any financial help you can offer. If a number of supporters gave us $10 it would pay towards recovering the costs of the Gulf of Mannar World Heritage Site meeting held in London last November. Small amounts add up, and, for a penny-wise operation like Save Ram Sethu Campaign, no amount is too small. Every little bit counts, be it $1, $5 or $100.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope you have a very happy Ram Navami!
