I am Prashanti and I have worked nearly two decades to save Himalayan Herbs from Extinction. To continue this work I need a truck and this gofundme is for that Truck! Please read on!
DUNAGIRI: VICTORY & COMPLETION
THE DUNAGIRI CORE MISSION IS TO:
1) SAVE Endangered Himalayan herbs from sure EXTINCTION by cultivating them (Kutki, Kuth, Jatamansi, Atis, Pushkarmul, Chora, Salam Panja Orchids, Salam Misri Orchids, Kakoli, Meda, MahaMeda, etc).
2) We are also trying to SAVE the Oral WISDOM Traditions from Extinction
3) Copious are the second level elements of the mission.
DUNAGIRI: LOSS OF FUNDING & STAFF
Right now I am the last person standing when it comes to Dunagiri which has always been funded by Samata Retreat Center in Goa. But Plandemics and Delhi deviants stole it during the Plandemic. My truck that I have driven 10,000 km across the Himalayas has also been stolen, and I need a new one! Dunagiri Foundation was @Vajra Ashara, Tess Rosenbush, Eric Rosenbush, Prashanti de Jager, Vivek Dewan, and with Olga Pumka Wildberry managing the 'financials!' And times change! I need to generate another funding source! And right now that is You!
CHECK OUT THE VIDEO FROM 2017
SUCCESSFUL MOMENT a FORESTRY SIGNS OFF AND SEALS
If you knew how hard it is to grow and ship endangered herbs in India you would be shouting in Joy while watching this Video! You are watching one of the last final steps in the 4-5 year long process to generate a single batch of Kutki, or Atis, or Kuth, or Pushkarmool, or any of the other epic Himalyan herbs on the brink of extinction.
Super thrilled about all this! No kidding, this is truly like a Herculean Task!
MAJOR KUDOS GO TO:
Harpal Negi (UYRDC): The man who weaves all together and who is Truly one of the Himalayas all time great activists! When 40,000 loose their homes due to natural disasters he is the one who gets them housed asap in temporary homes which he then turns into greenhouses when proper homes are built.
Siddharth Negi (URYDC): The man who juggles 1008 details to get the CITES permit. It all ends with Siddharth!
Vajra Ashara Samata Goa(DUNAGIRI): The man who held Dunagiri Foundation together and managed so much and who created Samata Goa to help fund Dunagiri Foundation.
Tess Rosenbush (DUNAGIRI): The Woman whom all love and adore and whose presence sanctifies the name and reputation of Dunagiri. Tess also is the Chef Goddess of Samata and nourishes us all there. Tess also authored the Grower Guild's guidelines. Tess has moved through the veil and is with all now!
Eric Rosenbush (DUNAGIRI): Tess's hubby who gets the Dalai Lama's Doctors aligned with us and who also goes up in the summer to measure and document fields.
*Arjuna Dhanu (GHESH): Mayor of Ghesh who has epic Tejas and incredible integrity and really holds it down at ground zero as a Chief Executive Officer on site. He also specializes on growing Atis.
*Devinder Dhanu(GHESH): Arjuna's son who I have been training to be a Chief Operations Manager up there.
Narendra Singh Bisht (GHESH): Who grows the bulk of the Kutki
Vasanta Singh Bist: The woman who grows the most Kutki and who tends to cook all our meals and simply outworks us all!
DR MC Nautiyal (University of SRINAGAR): The smartest most gentle and kind man who runs HAPPRC in Srinagar (High Altitude Plant Physiology Research Center). For instance it is often really hard to cultivate these herbs and he guides his PhD students into figuring out the techniques to do so. For instance, he is the one who finally figured out how to cultivate the legendary Jatamansi! (Take note: Melissa Somah Komala Abhay Ramakant Kamila... we plan to have the world's first Organic Sustainable Jatamansi by 2019!!)
Dr. John Douillard (LIFESPA): a true DharmaRaja who I am working with to create a line of Endangered Herbs
Dr.Partap Chauhan (JIVA FOUNDATION) who buys many of our herbs for his Jiva Foundation Clinics
Dr Chandra P Kuniyal (HRDI): The Scientist for HRDI government documentation and registration of legitimate Farmers and fields. It all starts with Dr Kuniyal!
Piyush Kumar (DUNAGIRI RETREAT): For hosting me so often at the Dunagiri Retreat Center and holding space for wild-cultivating some exceedingly important Plant allies.
Sir Ben Heron (BIOLAYA/PUKKA): The bro who pioneered Kutki cultivation Solo for 8 years in Kulu. The Bro truly deserves Knighthood. Incredible human and Familia to us all
Samata Goa Guests: All you folks who allow us to host your retreats, like you Iamme Candlewick and you Tara Judelle and you precious sister Zola Dubnikova and you Komala Lyra, you all are key in funding this.
Prashanti de Jager(DUNAGIRI): Not sure it is legal to give kudos to oneself, but I am the guy who is the Main Dunagirian up onsite 'longterm' for months every Autumn working on so many factors from fabricating equipment infrastructure to integrating bureaucratic officers, to generating international quality processing protocols, to installing the Guild Co-ops, to having a blast harvesting and processing, to connecting the Farmers with buyers, to writing the books. I am the lucky one!
