The day was proclaimed on January 30 Day of Non-violence in honor of Mahatma Gandhi whose death occurred precisely this same day in the year of 1948. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2.1869
The name Mahatma, the Sanskrit word which means "The great soul" was given by the great Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, his great friend. The 4 main thoughts of Gandhi were the truth, love, non-violence and non-cooperation with evil
The strength of a man and a people is in non-violence (Gandhi)
The Non-Violence is not a quality to be developed or expressed to order
It is an internal growth which depends on subsistância intense individual effort. (Gandhi)

Paramahansa Yogananda is reading a note that Gandhi has just written (Monday is Gandhi's day for observing silence) requesting Yogananda to initiate him into Kriya Yoga.

My soul refuses to be satisfied so long as it is a helpless witness of a single wrong or a single misery. There is freedom from the action of these two forces, but that freedom is attainable only by slow and painful stages
I claim to have found a way to it. Que I claim to be making a ceaseless effort to find it.But I admit that I have not yet found it.To find Truth completely is to realize oneself and one's destiny, ie, to become perfect.I am painfully conscious of my imperfections, and therein lies all the strength I posses, because it is a rare thing for a man to know his own limitations.My work will be finished if I succeed in carrying conviction to the human family, that every man or woman, however weak in body, is the guardian of his or her self-respect and liberty.

No Faith in Violence My business, therefore, is not to kill the man or men who obstruct me, but to discover the cause that impels them to obstruct me and deal with it. The method of violence cannot do good in the long run.The method of violence cannot do good in the long run.
I do not deny the revolutionary's heroism and sacrifice.But heroism and sacrifice in a bad cause are so much waste of splendid energy and hurt the good cause by drawing away attention from it by the glamour of the misused heroism and sacrifice in a bad cause.

I was first introduced to Mahatma Ghandi as a young high school student in the 1950's and was inspired to seek more knowledge and experience with with his teachings in the 1960;s and 70's. It led me on a journey much too complicated and long to describe here;however he humanity, his courage, his strengths and his human frailties shaped a large part of my life and work. I have lived at the Ghandi Ashram in India, made life long (unfortunately most have passed) friends with those who knew him, marched with him, laughed and wept with him and were the next generation of India's leaders . People who themselves shaped part of our world picture/reality like T.N.Kaul , Indira Ghandi (Nehru's daughter and former P.M.), Madame Pandit and others. But what is perhaps most important is what one person in this group mentioned: and that was his real human frailties and consequently his humaneness and humility. Also his ability to reach across great divides. I can think of one example and then not take any more time: his transformation of Khan abdur Ghaffar Khan, the great Pathan warrior into a believer in Satygraha..and non violence. I recommend that people who love Ghandi look at the story of one of his greatest Muslim followers and colleagues. I had the blessing to meet with this wonderful man who lived well into his 90's and was moved by his deep Islamic faith and profound belief in Peace...inner and outer. It was people like Ghandi and A.G.Khan that shaped my secular work and my teachings to my students which I named, as a result of such men and women who I have had the privilege to meet and work with: "Applied Sufism" . They have left a great legacy, one that has real and lasting potential; one that I use every day in my work around the world and my life . Thank you for creating this group. I will try to check in time to time and share some stories. Asalaam alaykum: Om Shanti

My activism is stirred by Gandhi's words:
"You may never know what results come from your actions. But if you
do nothing, there will be no result".
In Peace. Paul
