| We want to thank specially the Paranjpe family for hosting this global healing event year after year in the Goshala with open heart and humble spirit. Then also the Somayag committee for once more organizing in the best possible way this planetary healing event. The members of the committee are: Sarvajit Paranjpe, Ulrich Berk, Karin Heschl and Anne Godfrey. But it was also meeting the Homa family, a gathering of the Homa tribe, to enjoy together, to meet and exchange experiences, gratitude, respect and to serve each other. Our utmost respect with gratitude and love goes to Mother Kusum (Shree Vasant’s loving wife, photo below left) and the main priest Achal Apte, his wife Bhakti (photo below right), their father Hari Apte and family and all the present priests, who with their precise coordination, discipline, stamina and devotion made this event successful. |

Special thanks to Tanmay and his Indian cook team, Suwindi, Kathy, Taylor, Aaron, Mike, Thomas, Joshua, Ivy, the Maheshwar boys and all the garden and kitchen helpers, who participated full heartedly in this seva.

Besides there were: Mantra classes with Bruce Johnson, meetings to exchange knowledge and experiences of Homa Therapy in the different countries worldwide, a communication workshop with Henry, Jannette and Tom, Homa medicines with Dr. Monika Koch, Community experiences with Parvati and Jarek, youth groups, etc. Also Dr. Irma Garcia shared her knowledge, Prof. Mulay and his wife and Ramana inspired many, Christa and Ricardo Mena and Mr. Umakant Tiwari shared many years of Homa farming experiences. One evening we sat together in front of Mother Kusums room to share our favorite stories, anecdotes and memories with Shree Vasant and Mahashree. No space to name all, but so many people shared, uplifted and united these Homa tribes. |

It is very possible for our children to have a bright future, based on cooperation, on unity, on caring for each other and the planet, on UNION. The practice of the healing Homa fires in a mass scale brings us closer to this goal. |
