    I met Prof. Galtung and his wife as visiting professors in the Faculty of Social Science at the University of Osnabruck. Prof. Gyorgy Szell had invited them I was a Visiting Professor there too.
    The many conversations I had with them and his seminars were extraordinary. I have recommended to all my students Transcend Peace and Galtung Institut. Perhaps some have responded. Presently, a few from Gandhian Peace Studies in Gandhinagar might join there.
