The report about the ABC financial costs will be presented separately but in general they were about 12 thousands USD.

On behalf of GHA let me express special thanks to the following persons for their outstanding contribution to the ABC of Harmony:

Our collective work shows the peak of spirit which can be achieved o­nly by collective mind and collective consciousness of people who are harmonized, internally consented and directed to the highest good goal of all people and humanity as a whole!

The collective harmonious mind of humanity opens before them such prospects in the future that can hardly be predicted right now! It is above all, the bravest social imagination of any person! But these prospects can o­nly exist by virtue of their harmonious synthesis!

For work of your harmonious mind, I am pleased to send The ABC ethical Preface of Kanak Dugar and four articles o­n world peace, harmonious democracy, ecology, and the Institute of World Harmony written by me. They are the last articles, and you are not familiar with them.

Abstract

The ABC of Harmony is the first encyclopedia, philosophy and holistic scientific knowledge of the fundamental elements of social harmony, the separate clusters of which have been studied and developed since 1976 which is for more than 35 years.

The ABC was created collectively by the GHA coauthors as the first world textbook o­n the theory of global social harmony and harmonious civilization. It is necessary and accessible for all countries, cultures and people. Therefore it opens the Age of Harmonious Enlightenment of humanity in the 21st century and is intended for all educational institutions in the world. Its main goal is expressed in the title, "for global peace, harmonious civilization and tetranet thinking."

The book consists of five main parts: "The ABC of Harmony", "Applications and Prerequisites", "Harmony Stars", "Harmony Poetry" and "Harmony Painting". Their logic is obvious. Their content tends to the holistic expression of universal harmony not o­nly in theory, but in different cultures: India, China, Europe, America and Africa; in the sciences of sociology, psychology, history, synergetics, economics, politics and ecology; in the world religions of Buddhism, Christianity and Islam; in love, family, education and peacemaking; in the arts of poetry, painting and music; and in the lives of its great creators and thinkers: Buddha, Confucius, Jesus, Mohamed, Numa Pompilius, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Nikolai Roerich, Mother Teresa, Dalai Lama and many others.

The philosophical basis of the ABC of Harmony is tetrism as a four dimensional pluralism, which provides a full, rather than partial, theoretical approach to social and individual harmony.

The new methodological framework defines new, adequate, level of thinking of social harmony, which was called tetradic network harmonious thinking, or tetranet thinking in short. It is presented in varying degrees and models in the book sections.

The ABC of Harmony is the core of thinking, worldview, spiritual culture and the Internet of global harmonious civilization, which is inevitable in the 21^st century. Therefore, The ABC of Harmony allows every person and all people to not o­nly understand and get prepared for it, but also take a fully conscious practical part in its building.
