Am vegetarian since more than 15 years and easy to continue. Also fasting 2 times a year to clean mind and body is a practice to be peaceful in mind and concentrate on the importance of life. Thanks everybody who join, follow and practice the non-violent way of life

Remain vegetarian in first week of october, take pledge to remain vegetarian for a month, or a year and best is to remain vegetarian for ever. To be vegetarian is the most important stept to be Gandhian.

Stand up for what you believe in, even if it means standing up alone. Those who dare stand alone against the tide when they truely believe in something are the real heroes in this world. Ask any one who has served their Country. All too often they are taken for granted to stand alone, but they are the ones who ensure that those who choose to sit have that right to do so. Standing alone is way better than sitting down in a crowd!
So let us stand together to spread the dream of a non-violent world

Making peace must start within ourselves. Starting tomorrow, we will go on a 64 day journey together to embrace peace and nonviolence in our daily life through a daily thought. (courtesy: 64-days.org)

Hi Hindol,
I am happy to hear that you and your journalist friends in Kolkatta are joining hands to promote peace and raise awareness about the International Non Violence Day. As you know, we have created a group on gandhitopia for the same purpose. Your idea of conducting an essay contest on "The Relevance of Peace" as a part of Mission NonViolence 2010 is a very appealing idea. I am wondering if we could conduct that contest online too so that a global audience can participate.

To summarize my thoughts on how we can raise awareness about International Nonviolence day, I would like to propose the following:

1. Set up a NonViolence pledge page where people can add comments / tweet to take the pledge
2. Add a link from the page to the essay contest "The Relevance of Peace" and have people submit their essays. The essay contest could be a written or a photo essay.
3. Create a facebook group / twitter page to promote the same.

We must finalize our plan by the end of the month so that we can set up the webpages etc. in April/May and run the pledge drive/essay contest from June - September and announce the results on October 2nd 2010.

Please chime in if you have any other thoughts.
