Dear Sri.Madhavan,

It is really a very noble thought indeed of yours and adiyane
commends you for it wholeheartedly.

I live and work in Kuwait and we are virtually just a few hundred
miles away from the epicentre of where the War might break out
anytime. When War does break out -- and at this moment it does seem
as though it will sooner than later -- we here in Kuwait will not
only have a ring-side view of it, but might have to face upto to its
direct consequences, both expected and unintended.

In this grave hour of a gathering world crisis, the opening lines of
the Bhagavath-gita seem to ring in adiyane's ears : 

"dharmakshetre kurukshetre samavetaa yuyutsavaH 
maamakaaH paaNDavaashchaiva kimakurvata sanjaya"

In this bloody war-to-be, it's really very difficult to tell who are 
Pandavas and who the Kauravas and whose side is God and Dharma really
on...

Adiyane would urge all bhAgavatAs like your good self everywhere in
the world to offer their sincere prayers to God to somehow avert this
War. No matter who wins or loses this one, it is the poor, common
people on both sides who will surely suffer most the tragic
consequences of it. It is they who least deserve the misfortune that
befalls everyone when a war breaks out.

Thank you,

Regards,

dAsan,
Sudarshan
