I got a sms yesterday that its canceled and presale would be refunded as soon as they got hold of rodneys a/c which has the funds.
So i presume its canceled and not postponed? Please feel free to correct me if im wrong .."Whoever said the best things in life are free... obviously grew their own bud"

So its cancelled get over it,lets start thinking of alternatives ....
Pokhara sounds tempting ....
Those who already have scheduled leaves which alternatives are you contemplating ?
"Whoever said the best things in life are free... obviously grew their own bud"
some guys gotta grow up a little bit. There's still some stupid things happening on the field that you've gotta learn from.
its easy, not grow up and be a dull prick of a writer.
Accept It! SJ is over and there is no need of expanding thoughts over it as its happning with all of us.

Time never stays the same, happiness and sorrow are part of our lives but when we lose someone all these philosophies change and leave us in an infinite sorrow. We have lost our beloved friend Rodney who was an integral part of the Shanti Jatra organization. His motivation, far sightedness & dedication were a major driving force behind Shanti Jatra. We have truly lost the drive and to top it all, we have lost our dear friend. This is the most difficult and trying time for us.
In retrospect there was a trance festival held in Nepal in April 2009, the media and the authorities in Nepal are completely against such events and there was a TV series on one of the news channel about the trance culture, the two episode event named "MISSION TRANCE" was filmed solely at the festival undercover, which show cased how the trance culture in Nepal was the gateway to substance abuse and illegal activates. This lead to many of us organizers being questioned by the authorities. This in addition to a recent meeting with the narcotics department of police in Nepal made us think about the safety of the festival which is of utmost importance to us.
The authorities of Nepal leveraged the previous editions of the festival in order to grow tourism and to improve socio economic conditions of the country. After the April incident, which lead to the authorities being privy to the happenings of the trance culture. With the pressures mounting from various legal bodies, including Nepal Tourism Board and Medias in Nepal, we are forced to succumb to their wants & help to stop these trance festivals from continuing.
We did with all our power to try beating the force and carrying on with our festival. But with the loss of our friend we have no power to fight back with the authorities and the media and most importantly we don’t want to risk the lives of the people who are visiting us at this festival.
Even as we speak, the Venue is being built from scratch, surround sound being set up, labor hired for help, cottages being built and so on.
We sold an approximate of 224 tickets in presales for this year's festival. Since Rodney held the primary bank account of Shanti Jatra, his demise has made it difficult for us to claim the money in the absence of a written legal will. Therefore, his family has come forward to take responsibility of proceeds of the account. His brother ANTHONY MATHIAS who’s in Banglore is working on all the legal process at this moment. For all those who have purchased the tickets prior to the festival the amount will be refunded as soon as the family is able to release the amount from his account. They are working towards resolving this at this moment. This would take approximately a month's time.
With a heavy heart the SHANTI JATRA team in its best interest of the people and their safety has decided to CANCEL this year's edition dated 3, 4, 5 & 6th of October 2009.
Again, we request all those who have purchased our festival tickets to be patient for further details and proceedings of refund.
If u have already bought the travel tickets and holiday arranged, it would be good idea to not to cancel it and come to Nepal and enjoy the nature. Best thing we would suggest is to go to vipassana mediation starting on 1st of October in pokhara and truly learn the inner peace and spread the shanti in a proper way.
Thank you so very much for the support and kindness you have shown towards keeping the festival alive for 2 editions. We deeply regret the inconvenience and grief that has been caused due to the short comings in our lives.
i am sure u would bro.
