Subject: Our heartfelt gratitude for your blessings and presence at Maha Kisan Mela
Respected Shri D. R. Kaarthikeyan garu,
Humble pranamams
On behalf of myself and my wife, Smt. Bharati Reddy, I most sincerely thank you for your kind message and blessings, and for your gracious presence at our Maha Kisan Mela at Kanha Shanti Vanam.
We were truly delighted and deeply honoured to have you with us. Your service to the nation, your wisdom, and your compassion for farmers and for humanity at large have always been a great source of inspiration to us. Your message during the Mela — linking agriculture, ethics, peace, harmony, good governance, and the health of society — touched the hearts of all those present. Many participants later shared how moved and motivated they felt by your words.
We are especially grateful that you appreciated our humble effort to honour real farmers in the field and to promote natural and organic farming for the health of the soil, the farmer, and society. Your endorsement and encouragement mean a great deal to us and to the entire Asian PGPR family.
Thank you also for kindly sharing your DRK's Newsletters that reach readers across the world. They carry invaluable messages of values, service, and enlightened leadership, and we shall certainly read and share them with great interest.
With your continued blessings and guidance, we hope to expand this farmer-centered movement further in the coming years and look forward to staying closely connected with you.
With deep respect, gratitude, and warm regards,
Prof. M. S. Reddy & Smt. Bharati Reddy

Respected Shri D. R. Kaarthikeyan garu,
Humble pranamams
Reading your 18-point reflection felt like receiving a pearled scripture of life, distilled through extraordinary experience, service, inner discipline, and deep humanity. At 87, you speak not merely as a senior statesman, but as a sage of values, compassion, and enlightened leadership.
Every point you shared embodies grace, humility, wisdom, and purpose — qualities that are increasingly rare in today's fast-paced, self-centric world. Your message is not only an expression of your state of mind but also a guiding light for those who aspire to live meaningfully.
A few reflections that touched me profoundly:
Loving oneself only after loving all others — a profound reminder that self-care is not selfish but sacred.
Letting go of ego, perfection, and control — true liberation and maturity.
Giving generously to those who toil harder — leadership grounded in empathy.
Honouring elders' stories instead of correcting them — respect for memory and emotion.
Choosing peace over perfection — the hallmark of enlightened living.
Planting trees for generations we may never see — the very definition of legacy.
Meditation as a bridge for humanity — beyond religion, beyond boundaries.
Living each day as if it is the last — a reminder that service, health, and gratitude cannot wait.
Your life is a testament to active goodness —
from nation-building and governance
to environment and farmer welfare
to values, spirituality, health, and harmony.
Your reflections are not just philosophy —
they are instructions for a more peaceful world.
On a personal note, your message reinforces my own mission —
working for our Annadatas,
for natural and biological agriculture,
for soil health,
for farmer dignity,
for a healthier India.
You and Daaji Maharaj share an important common thread —
a belief that transformation begins in the inner landscape
and expresses itself in the outer world through service.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa said:
"The world is like a stage — act, but do not be attached to the role."
Your reflection is a living embodiment of that truth.
Thank you for sharing your state of mind —
it is a blessing, a teaching, and a meditation in itself.
May God grant you continued strength, joy, clarity, and health
to inspire more lives and shape future generations.
With deep respect, gratitude, and affection,
