It has been proved in the laboratory of the world that the communities and countries that understand the values of nonviolence and practice these values prosper economically and their citizens prosper physically, mentally and artistically. India is a multireligion, multilingual, and a multiracial nation. It has all the problems that one can imagine. Violence can cause unimaginable damages if its citizens begin to break each other’s head on the issues relating to language, religion, color of the skin, ethnicity and others. The complex and diverse nature of India has developed over the centuries. To achieve peace in that nation, the country needs peaceful means. Gandhi has shown a peaceful way to his people to solve problems.
Mahatam Gandhi gave a hope to humanity by proving that nonviolent strategies work. He proved that nonviolence is a creative force. His ideology has influenced several great minds of the world, including Martin Luther King.

Mahatma Gandhi - El coraje de la No Violencia

"O que é bonito neste mundo, e anima, é ver que na vindima de cada sonho
fica a cepa a sonhar outra aventura.E que a doçura que não se prova
se transfigura noutra doçura muito mais pura e muito mais nova. "

"Miguel Torga"

I hope all who still struggling for freedom learn from Gandhi's vision of non-violence resistance...

Mahatma Gandhi, was the charismatic leader who brought the cause of India's independence from British colonial rule to world attention. He powerfully demonstrated his philosophy of non-violence, for which he coined the term satyagraha, as one of the most powerful tools uniquely available to the masses for lasting peace. ---------------------
Mahatma Gandhi, fue el líder carismático que llevó la causa de la independencia de la India del dominio colonial británico a la atención del mundo. Se demostró con creces su filosofía de la no violencia, por el que acuñó el término Satyagraha, como una de las herramientas más poderosas disponibles únicamente a las masas para una paz duradera.

"...Sabe o que eu quero de verdade?!
Jamais perder a sensibilidade, mesmo
que às vezes ela arranhe um pouco a alma.
Porque sem ela não poderia sentir
a mim mesma..."!

Clarice Lispector

As vezes,pensamos que não somos capazes de ajudar.Mais qualquer palavra vale a pena.desde que seja com o intuito verdadeiro,do mais profundo de nosso âmago.A minha idéia,nesse momento pelo menos,é que continuemos cá todos juntos,a caminhar pelo mesmo objectivo.E se podermos convidar o maior número de pessoas para que nos dêem luz,e caminhem conosco em busca da Paz!
Precisamos,também pensar quando formos as urnas,em quem colocamos no poder.Não podemos entregar a desalmados,que vêem a desigualdade humana,fome,guerra por religiões,e nada fazem.Além de coseguirem dormir em
paz,como psicopatas..."O poder",é uma grande arma na mão de pessoas,as quais,poderiam fazer toda a diferença...

Gandhi asked Rolland to play Beethoven for him.)

Gandhi had been the determining influence on Elwin's life. ... Fr. Elwin first met Mahatma Gandhi in January 1928 when he went to Sabarmati to attend a conference on Inter Religious Fellowship. He was so impressed by the simplicity and spiritual power of the Mahatma that he became his great admirer and eventually a disciple.
Through his speeches and writings Fr. Elwin contributed considerably to the promotion of Indian nationalism. His admiration of Mahatma Gandhi and his movement inspired him to contribute in own way to India’s freedom struggle.
Verrier Elwin who was born on August 29, 1902 in Kent, England, had developed a liking to Mahatma Gandhi and his teachings right from his student days at the Oxford. He claims that besides the New Testament he was profoundly influenced by the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi.
After completing education at Oxford, Verrier Elwin joined the Anglican Church as a clergyman and chose India for his missionary activity. In the summer of 1927 Elwin joined the ‘Christa Seva Sangha Ashram’ at Poona, founded by another Anglican clergyman, Fr. Jack Winslow.
Verrier Elwin was one of the most fascinating Englishmen who lived and worked in India. He was a man of many talents. He was missionary, a freedom fighter, poet, novelist and anthropologist. His transformation from a clergyman to a staunch disciple of Mahatma Gandhi and later as a dedicated social worker among the forgotten tribals of Central and North-eastern India was amazing.
It is only because of him that the adivasis who were lost in the deepest forests became the citizens of free India.
After independence, Verrier Elwin took up Indian citizenship. He was appointed as the chief of the Anthropological Survey of India. His work involved the documentation of many native tribes in Central and Northeast India. For his dedicated service Elwin was awarded Padma Bhushan on January 26, 1961. After a long and fruitful service in India Verrier Elwin died on February 22, 1964. His autobiography “The Tribal World of Verrier Elwin” was published shortly after his death

Fr. Elwin reunió por primera vez Mahatma Gandhi en enero de 1928, cuando fue a Sabarmati para asistir a una conferencia sobre el Inter Religiosa de becas. Estaba tan impresionado por la simplicidad y poder espiritual del Mahatma que se convirtió en su gran admirador y, finalmente, un discípulo.
A través de sus discursos y escritos FR. Elwin contribuido considerablemente a la promoción del nacionalismo indio. Su admiración de Mahatma Gandhi y su movimiento le inspiró para contribuir de manera que lucha por la libertad de la India.
Verrier Elwin, que nació el 29 de agosto de 1902 en Kent, Inglaterra, ha desarrollado un gusto a Mahatma Gandhi y sus enseñanzas, desde sus días de estudiante en Oxford. Afirma que, además del Nuevo Testamento fue profundamente influenciado por las enseñanzas de Mahatma Gandhi.
Después de completar la educación en Oxford, Verrier Elwin se unió a la Iglesia Anglicana como un clérigo y eligió la India por su actividad misionera. En el verano de 1927 Elwin se unió a la 'Christa Sangha Seva Ashram "en Poona, fundada por otro clérigo anglicano, el Padre. Jack Winslow.
Verrier Elwin fue uno de los ingleses más fascinantes que ha vivido y trabajado en la India. Era un hombre de muchos talentos. Fue misionero, un luchador por la libertad, poeta, novelista y antropólogo. La transformación de un clérigo a un fiel discípulo de Mahatma Gandhi y más tarde como un trabajador social dedicada entre las tribus olvidadas de Europa Central y del Norte-este de la India fue increíble.
Es sólo gracias a él que los adivasi que se perdieron en los bosques se convirtió en la más profunda de los ciudadanos de la India libre.
Después de la independencia, Verrier Elwin asumió la ciudadanía india. Fue designado como el jefe de la Inspección Antropológica de la India. Su trabajo implicaba la documentación de muchas tribus nativas en el centro y noreste de la India. Por su dedicado servicio Elwin recibió Padma Bhushan el 26 de enero de 1961. Después de una larga y fructífera en la India Verrier Elwin murió el 22 de febrero de 1964. Su autobiografía "El mundo tribal de Verrier Elwin", fue publicado poco después de su muerte

Mahatma Gandhi, India, and Martin Luther King Jr., the United States, both brilliant strategic thinkers, as well as great moral leaders, are probably the best known leaders of such movements.
