Gandhi Today News

Gandhi Today News News, Articles, Comments from a Gandhian Perspective Some of the letters I recieve focus on Gandhi's person. The main concern of Gandhi TODAY is not Gandhi.

I hope this statement may answer some of these questions. The main concern of Gandhi TODAY is the present, not the past. It is the Gandhian concept of living, i.e. ahimsa (nonviolence), satyagraha (nonviolent action), swadeshi (self-reliance), swaraj (self-rule) and above all, sarvodaya (the welfare of all) and the difficult task of applying this concept to our present violent based society, that

has top priority on this site. We as human beings has a large tendency to personalize evil and good, building myths and rumors of famous persons or of one another, which not in the least do help us to deal constructively with our ongoing conflicts and problems of today. The essence of nonviolence is being sadly forgotten - that is to distinguish between the "wrong-doer" and the "wrong-being-done". And that goes for our good actions, too. If we really want to mature as humans, we have to start looking beyond the personal character (which we all know constantly changes as lifes goes by) and explore the kind of ideas which can be of any assistance in building a more healthy planet, regardless of their origin. Just as for example Marxism has to do with a concept of thinking - not in particular the individual Karl Marx - Gandhi TODAY endeavours to inspire its readers to constructive living, not just wishy-washy worshipping, quotating or gossiping. (Note: This is just an example. I'm not comparing these two concepts. And I doubt that "Gandhi-ism" would mean a solution, rather the opposite.) Like The Peace Pilgrim said:

"If one person dedicate his or her life to peace, its big news. If many persons each contribute some of their lifes to peace, they can make history." Sincerely,
Jan Viklund

HELLRE MÖTAS - ÄN ATT MÄTAS

Our BorderFree Family for Peace: ☮

https://youtu.be/fhzu83IJL9g

10 YEARS AGO - on my 60th Birthday - I recieved the most Precious Gift one can imagine: The BorderFree Blue Scarf of Nobel Peace Prize nominated Afghan Peace Volunteers in Kabul.
Afghan Women have embroided the words "Borderfree" & "Bedun-e-marz" (in Dari) on these thousands of scarves, distributed around the world to promote their resilient work for peace, justice, the environment & international Friendship.
As a Gandhian for 30 years I immediately took this movement and Borderfree Family to my Heart. And presented my very dear friend Rolf Bergling & my Love Ragnhild Welin to join.
One Blue Sky Above us! ☮🌹
Mohabat - Love - Kärlek ❤

Go'natt Sverige. Hoppas du kryar på dig.
"Han visade sig ganska väl känna till våra sociala förhållanden och uttryckte sig på blomsterspråk om vår obligatoriska folkskola och vår allmänbildning. Han kunde aldrig nog lovorda ett folk som liksom vårt, kunde visa upp hundraprocentig läs- och skrivkunnighet. Men när det nu är så högtstående som det är, det svenska folket, frågade han med en intensiv glimt i ögonen – jag minns den än – vad kan det då bero på, att man så ofta hör talas om att ni svenskar är ett ytligt folk?"
~ Hannah Rydh beskriver mötet med Gandhi.
SvD, 31 januari 1948

🌍October 2 is International Day of Non-Violence, marking the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, pioneer of non-violence.🕊️

Daisaku Ikeda said Gandhi’s “belief in nonviolence and justice grew out of his absolute trust in humanity. This was an unconditional faith which he came to through a rigorous process of introspection, probing the very depths of his being . . . He taught us that there is no such thing as defeat in nonviolence, but that violence inevitably ends in defeat.”

Gandhi Jayanti 2 Oktober 2024

2 Oktober 1869

När höstlöven faller i Norden
skimrande gula och röda.
Då föddes en man, en enkel man,
till jorden
Som satte handling bak' orden
"Du Skall Icke Döda".

Hans namn var Mohandas
Efternamn Gandhi.
Kallad Stor Själ; Mahatma.
För hans visdom var enkel
som luften vi andas-
Ett Liv i Balans
är ett Liv värt din Möda.

"Varför är ni svenskar ett sånt ytligt folk?'

Rasistiska & sexistiska ord ska bort - medan vi frossar i "spännande" dystopi & våld på skärmen. "Varför är ni svenskar ett sånt ytligt folk?" undrade Gandhi redan strax före sin död 1948.
