<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">More than half a century Mr. E P
Menon, an everlasting crusader of peace, nuclear disarmament and social justice
has persistently worked for a fearless,
prosperous world. Occasionally he travels to many destinations in the world to
meet with young talents and share his vision and mission to protect all of us
from manly-created disasters. Menon is one among very few who still around as
from the era of Jawaharlal Nehru, Vinoba Bhave, Jayaprakash Narayan, Thakkar
Bapa and K Kelappan (Kerala Gandhi). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">His first mission around the
world on foot caught the attention of the world leaders and public where ever
he and fellow traveler Sathish Kumar went in 1962-64. Kumar and Menon along
with many supporting democratic fearless fellow walkers crossed many countries
and travelled 8000 miles on foot and
boat from New Delhi to Kabul, Tehran, Moscow, Warsaw, Bonn, Berlin, Brussels,
Paris, London, Washington DC, California, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Saigon, Singapore, Colombo, Bombay and back to New
Delhi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">The then U.N Secretary General U.
Thant wrote: “ I am happy to hear all
about your magnificent work for world peace.
Wish you the best of luck”. Vinoba
Bave inspired them and said, "Have absolute faith in humanity you will
succeed. All best wishes”. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">The dedication and work of E.P.
Menon and Sathish Kumar in the 1960’s turned the world leaders to rethink their
mad race for nuclear arms. Since then through continued negotiations and
deals by world leaders, world super
powers reduced their nuclear weaponry and end producing new nuclear arms? The modern world owes to and credit Mr. E.P.
Menon and Mr. Sathish Kumar for pioneering to reduce/end nuclear arms and
establish world peace through popular support. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">Fifty three years ago in 1962,
two young men in their twenties set out from Mahatma Gandhi Samadhi in New
Delhi to conquer the iron minds of world leaders and gather the support of the
suffering world. They had no passport,
no visa and no money in their pockets; and they achieved what they determined
for in the name of peace and humanity. Until
now, it is a world record in serving the humanity with no penny in the pocket. Even today, Mr. Menon lives with no means and follows
his masters (Vinoba Bhave) advice; “Go with no money, people will support your
mission”, and he did that throughout his life to serve and protect you and me;
Menon a silent warier with no weapons and protector of unknown. <b>A crusader for a world without borders and arms. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

intensity of your conviction that the future of humanity depends on
establishment of the world government and abolition of nuclear weapons. If your attempts are likely to reduce the
public opinion and make the ordinary man and woman feel that the future of
humanity today rests should be educated, your task will have been a very
rewarding one. Wish you all the best. </span></span></div>
