To my brothers and sisters in India

They say silence is golden but silence is also where truth speaks loudest. I would appeal to all of you to step away from the clamour and the sounds that surround you right now and revert to your inner silence that each of you within you possess.  In that core of silence that I call the sphere.

Sit back and listen.  Let me state to you from my heart to yours, the feelings that I have held within me and refrained from communicating with you about. Let me begin by saying why the silence has been there. In essence, any response from me would have been taken as being inflammatory and even possibly legally binding. As you well know, my people are the most important assets I have. The media and such like have made a big furore about the fact that we have large investments holdings throughout India in land, banks and various other investment portfolios.  Ironically the same media have tried to portray us to be some kind of scam operation.

It has been amazing to me that the reporters who have the intelligence to recognise these assets have not had the intelligence to put together the fact that no scam company would have invested as we have. Furthermore, scam companies do not persevere for ten years or more. Even if a scam company had begun in such a manner, any company that survives ten years definitely cannot be called a scam of any kind. 

We have actually lasted longer today as we head towards our tenth year celebration that has lasted longer than some countries in Eastern Europe.  Have any of these media even checked that we have affiliations with international organisations of repute, any of which can be researched on the internet.   They have been unable to understand that we have been in over a 100 countries around the world in the last 10 years.

Without doing any research whatsoever, we have been put to trial by the media and essentially we’ve been convicted and hung.  So why the silence? Because each time we have tried to voice our side, there has been a cost to be paid.  Do we decide to let the courts do the speaking for us, in particular the Supreme Court?

But this is not what I am here to talk to you about today. I’m here to tell you that India needs to change. And that we are part of this change.  And that you are part of this change.  And historically, change is something that has been bitterly resisted by those who are entrenched within the system.  This is a battle that is basically being fought where we are bringing forward an India that has been virtually unchanged for 50 years. We need a world that is 50 years ahead.

This industry began 100 years ago and has been in this current form as MLM for 50 years. India has fought change at a tremendous cost and unfortunately, is still continuing to do so. But for us this is not just about business. It is our mission.  I am as convinced as I have ever been about the mission, the vision and the purpose for which we started this company all those years ago. Our motto which is Gandhin in its inception as true to today as it has ever been. I say to each and every one of you, we have to raise ourselves because it is only when we raise ourselves can we raise others. But in order to raise ourselves we have to fall. Why are we so afraid of falling? 

We can climb to any pinnacle of success in any field of endeavour there will always be the danger of falling. And there is no clamour anywhere in this world of any note who can say he has never fallen. Can we fall? Will we fall again? Yes. Yes and Yes. But to not climb at all will be the greatest mistake anyone can make. For we can climb and we can fall or we can choose not to climb and never fall for there is nothing to fall from. Or we can climb and reach the top and learn to fly.

My heart goes out to all of you who are now going to trials and tribulations but all I can say to you is between you and I, let us not give up, let us not derail for India needs to change. For India needs you, for India needs us. For India needs the world. And the world needs India. Don’t falter and if we fall. Let’s climb again.
