In an advert placed in several of today’s national newspapers, the India Tourism Office extends her a welcoming hand.
In an illustration of the old maxim that all publicity is good publicity, the office takes the opportunity to boast of India’s "bustling cosmopolitan cities", "snow-clad mountains" and "long sandy coastlines".
The open letter "to Jade Goody and friends" reads: "Dear Jade Goody. Once your current commitments are over, may we invite you to experience the healing nature of
"Being one of the world’s oldest civilisations, our land is one where the ancient and the modern co-exist and a multitude of religions live in harmony."
It continues: "As a beauty therapist, you may be especially interested in visiting one of the many spas where you can cleanse your stresses away, enjoy yoga in the land that invented it and experience Ayurvedic healing which promotes positive health and natural beauty."
Could Jade find enlightenment...?
Jade’s perfume withdrawn - Jan 18 2007
Jade Goody’s scent has been withdrawn from The Perfume Shop, it’s been reported.

A spokeswoman said: "The Perfume Shop has decided to withdraw Jade Goody’s perfume Shh... from all of its 150
"This decision will be reviewed once Ms Goody has left the Big Brother house and is in a position to respond to the media in person."
Meanwhile, Jade’s mother, Jackiey Budden, has waded into the row.
"Jade has never been racist, she is mixed race herself and suffered racist abuse as a youngster," she said.
"The only person I heard make a racist remark while in Celebrity Big Brother was Jermaine Jackson, who called me white trash."
Jackiey sparked the racism row when she repeatedly referred to Shilpa as "the Indian" and refused to pronounce her name properly.
She asked the Bollywood star: "Do you live in a house or a shack?"
Jade’s management also continued to insist she’s not racist.
Her spokeswoman said: "It is clear to all that Jade and Shilpa are rubbing each other up the wrong way, but what is going on is nothing more than a clash of personalities between two strong characters who have placed themselves in the unnatural and stressful environment of the Big Brother house.
"Jade will be mortified when she comes out to learn that her conduct is being interpreted as racist."

Jade caused a tabloid frenzy the minute she walked into the BB house with her idiotic questions and unbelievable lack of common sense. She asked if East Anglia was near Tunisia and if Cambridge was in London, she took her clothes off to reveal her ’kebab’, administered the infamous PJ BJ and got a minging verruca.
The tabloids branded her a fat pig and she bitched about all of her fellow housemates openly but somehow she made it through to the final four and gained thousands of fans along the way. When Jade left the house, she was interviewed on any and every chat show in the country, appeared on the cover of Heat five times (she was even their biggest selling cover star) and even had a Channel 4 follow up documentary, What Jade Did Next, made about her in the weeks following her eviction.
Having dropped three dress sizes in matter of months, the Bermondsey girl made one of the most successful exercise videos ever, even beating skinny Geri Halliwell’s yoga workout effort to the top DVD chart spot. In the meantime Jade fell in love with Jeff Brazier, Shipwrecked’s Essex wide boy and became pregnant with her first son, Bobby. Jeff and Jade have been on an off ever since, but have recently opened a tanning salon and beauty parlour together following Jade’s qualification as a beauty therapist.
Jade Goody remains a reality TV show legend most recently appearing in Celebrity Wife Swap with Millionaire cheat Major Charles Ingram while heavily pregnant and hormonal and Back To Reality, Five’s flop Big Brother rip off in which Jade showed the nation she hadn’t learnt anything new, asking James Hewitt if he’d been ’sworded’ and if wood pigeons were like ferrets.
