"Heartiest Congratulations! !! This is indeed a very great news!!!
 The day this news hit the newspapers in India, our parents started sending us SMS and phone calls. They are very excited and very much looking forward to not only attending this wonderful event but also all the more excited in helping out in any way they can (from there and here both). I have not seen so much excitement from them from a long time :)
 Needless to say, you have our support as well! Please do let us know how we (both of us and our parents) can be of any help."

"Many thanks for communicating. Very grateful for that.Since the announcement local papers are creating lot of row and various organisations are thinking of parellel activity here.You have to ignore this as your team is quite capable and determind to host the activity.If all goes well from this end as a poet and past ex managing committe member of Sahitya Parishad I shall be attending the event at San Fracisco.Kindly keep us informed the progress and the procedures."

"I have lived in the Bay Area almost from 10 years now, attended few MMBA events, although never got a chance to actively participate in the community.
First, congratulations to MMBA members on getting the opportunity to host the Akhil Bhartiya Marathi Sammelan. It's a great honor for the MMBA organization, and it's a wonderful opportunity for folks like me to attend an event that we attended many years ago in India.
I would love to connect with you and find out how I could get involved in organization and help in events/ community activity.  It would also be great some of the members in the community."

"I am a MS student at San Jose State University . i am so happy to hear that our city is going to host 82nd marathi sahitya sammelan because of u and MMBA.
hearty  congratulations  to u and MMBA. I am  very much excited about the event."

"Congratulations on your success for being chosen as a host for Marathi Sahitya Samelen."

"I used to feel sad that living in California, I can't attend the Sahitya Sammelana
happening in Maharashtra. But, this year I feel very happy and extremely proud
of MMBA to hear that MMBA will be hosting this prestigous event. I am sure
marathi community all over the nation will help you to make the event a grand
success and to take the message/greatness of Marathi language to further heights.
Most important change this will make is to make our kids appreciate and learn the
heritage of Marathi now that this event will be right here in Bay area.
Seems like a dream, but it's true and this is all because of the MMBA committee under
your leadership, so many many Kudos to you and the entire committee.
Let us know how we can help"

"I must say, its a great initiative that MMBA has taken to get our "Maay Marathi" sata samudrapalikade and there wont be a better place than " San Jose " or rather "Bay Area". It will be a great achievement in MMBA's history. I wish you good luck and support your initiative and feel proud about it. I would definitely like to contribute to make this event successful. It would be a great opportunity for all of us to meet all "Marathi Sahityakar" right here in San Jose through a platform like Sahitya Sammelan."

"I heard the very good News about organising the 82nd Akhil Bhartiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan in San Francisco in coming February, 2009. I am attended 3-4 Akhil Bhartiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan which was held in different parts of Maharashtra . I will be very happy to attending the San Francisco Sammelan. Last year I was attended the 8th World Hindi Conference in New York on 13-15 July. I will very thankful to you if you add my name in your guest list. Uttarachya Apekshet."

"Many congratulations to you for winning the bid for Marathi Sahitya Samellan in 2009. Wishing you all the best for the event and looking forward to enjoy the same in Bay area."

"Congratulations to all of you for being the host for '82nd Akhil Bhartiya Sahitya Samelen'.It is great achievement for MMBA !! It would give chance, to young people like us ,to experience prestigious event. My parents in Pune read your article in local news paper.They(head of educational institutes in north Maharashtra ) would like to help in any way."

"Now my intention of mailing you is to offer you my hearty congratulations for your precise,honest and sincere article published in todays Sakal.You have very nicely and neatly put forth your points.In India and particularly in Pune mentality is awkward and people do not seem to appreciate others openly.They try to create hurdles at times.Anyway do not spend time over this.Go ahead as you have planned.Majority like us are looking forward to help and support you morally and by some other means.I am in touch with Sahitya Parishad.We shall try to visit your Mandal in bulk if all goes well from this end."

"I read your mail in Maharashtra Times,Mumbai.
1. Maharashtrians in USA need not be apologetic to some people who are opposing the Sahitya Sammelan in California .
2. Most people in Maharashtra think, " Why not in California ", after all so many Maharashtrians live there and they should get a chance to meet Marathi Authors and Poets etc.
3. Over the years, Sahiyta Sammelan is being held at places where a powerful politician can give a donation for expenses.
If now ordianry middle class in Califirnia contribute from their hard earned money they have as much right to meet such Authors etc, as any other person in Maharshtra.
I live in Thane but have visited the US a few times and various Maharashtra Mandals in the US hold cultural events to keep in touch with culture of their home country.
I wish the best to your Sahitya Sammelan."
