There are lots of things to say about our journey with the U.N.O, otherwise, the book will remain incomplete without mentioning it.
I have mentioned previously, that we have received the letter of acceptance from the honorable Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand respectively, and the appreciation from U.N.O. Moreover, we have received letters from the ministers and the honorable Mayor of Kolkata, Firhad Hakim.
We have received letters and greetings from many more important personalities. We were appreciated by M.M.I.C. Sri. Debasish Kumar. We were appreciated by the general managers of well-known companies, professors, social workers, leaders. We are praised by the rich men and by the people who live in poverty alike.
It is not possible to publish all the letters in this book but, it is much important to mention the names of all these people without whose cooperation this movement would have ever been possible.
On 20th July 2019, something excellent happened. Rituparna translated a Bengali song to English and it was musically designed and arranged by one of the finest music directors of Kolkata as well as Oscar nominee - Indrajit Dey Indro. The song was recorded in the soulful voice of Somlata Acharyya Chowdhury. The song was beautifully recorded and indeed satisfactory. I and Ridendick were so happy at the end of the day.
The very next day was a day to cherish. In the form of a letter, we received blessings from his Holiness Dalai Lama. In 1989, this great holy soul, a messenger of peace from Tibet received the Noble Prize. He has been awarded approximately 61 International awards of honour from all over the world. This is just for information. It is quite overwhelming for us that he has accepted our protocols and formulas of World Permanent Peace. He found our foundation worthy enough to unite the world together. It was indeed a moment of celebration for us.
I am bringing out a few letters below which I have already mentioned above. Confirmation letters were received from the honorable Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand for the promotional programs of 31st October 2016. Later, I received a letter of greetings from them when the event of ‘Earth and Art Revolution Day’ was held at Natshal in East Midnapore, W.B., India.

In this above expression Prime Minister of New Zealand (Rt Hon John Key) send the confirmation for the 2017 program held at Natshal, Midnapore, West Bengal.
I am proclaiming the letter sent by U.N.O. in 2019. Few letters cannot be disclosed due to some privacy. The proposal was issued on 16th January 2019 the day next to the third anniversary of the “Earth and Art Revolution Day’. The result was, they read our letters and were convinced by our activities. They were showing their trust in us through their greetings. It was before the release of the World Anthem. We mentioned in our letter about “The Formula of Permanent World Peace’’, The reason behind the naming of “Earth and Art Revolution
Day”, the motive and transcription of our World Anthem, “We are the citizen of the Earth’, our International Annual Award distribution, and many more inside stories and a few images of our events. U.N.O sent us a long letter. The synopsis is - They read our letter and they scripted all the issues. They ensured that they will proceed methodically provided; we deliver the rest of the matters in a proper way. They sent us the letters with due permission of the Honorable Secretary-General. We were overwhelmed with joy on the arrival of this letter.
Meanwhile, we sent the mails to U.N.O and soon in October 2019, they responded to our mail, acknowledging and appreciating my initiatives.
The blessing of His Holiness Dalai Lama, received in the form of the letter, is stated below.
Dear Michael Tarun,
This is to acknowledge the receipt of your book. We appreciate your concerns about global peace and the activities that you have been conducting in this respect. His Holiness believes that real peace begins within oneself, through proper education on compassion and a sense of concern for others. His Holiness has also advocated education on ‘Secular Ethics’, based on a non-religious position by using common sense, common experience, and scientific evidence. With the education of the heart alongside the mind, people can change. The introduction of education and compassion from kindergarten up until the university level is what he encourages.
We wish you all the luck in your activities towards bringing a sense of oneness among fellow human beings.
With warm wishes,
GesheNgawangSonam
Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama
While this book was still in progress, I received a letter from the Prime Minister of Canada, who highly appreciated my works.

On behalf of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, I would like to acknowledge receipt of your recent correspondence regarding the Art Mother Earth Foundation’s celebration of Earth and Art
Revolution Day.” Thank you for providing the Prime Minister with information about your project. You obviously have put a lot of hard work into preparing the information package. Please accept my best wishes for success with your initiative.

I like to add a few words that this year (2020), when I was preparing myself to arrange a huge program on the “Earth and Art Revolution Day” to celebrate the birthday of our beautiful Mother Earth a letter full of enthusiasm came to me by the Prime Minister of New Zealand (Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern), which enhanced the glory of that program much more.
Tēnā Koe Michael,
On behalf of the Prime Minister, I would like to thank you for the invitation to attend your event. Most unfortunately the Prime Minister’s schedule will not allow her to travel at the time of your event. As such she regrettably must decline your invitation.
She passes on her apologies and best wishes.
Ngā mihi,
Bridie Hood
