NON-VIOLENT ACTION IS POSSIBLE IN ALL SITUATIONS?

I was speaking at the Catholic Worker, New York, it was 2nd October 2007 and the topics was Relevance of Gandhi in Present Times. I must tell you the day was not good, weather wise. I was not sure if some people will be able to come. To my surprise, it was a jampacked, people were standing soaked in rains. After I spoke about half an hour, there were a row of questions. One of the main questions was, Is nonviolent action is possible in a situation like Hitler Rule? I humbly…

HOW AND WHERE DID I FIRST LEARN NONVIOLENCE -IN- ACTION IN MY LIFE ?

It was the month of June 1984, and I was at the University town of North California, named Arceta. Its name was Humbold State University. The program here, was organised by my young friend and a scholer Ben Sasway, who was the Coordinator of my program in North California. I must say a sentense more about Ben. It was he how was the first Draft- Resister after the Veatnam War, in United States. There were about 100 students and faculty members attending the meeting in the hall. Thae subject…

take back gandhi's 9/11

a few years ago, the un declared october 2, gandhi-ji's birthday, international day of nonviolence, which this year seems to be coming into its own, coinciding with 2010's great anti-war rallies. without seeming curt and detracting, top down un authoritarian tapping has soft meaning. plus anyone has a birthday, even jesus, and being born is really not anything the person achieved in life.

when we first decided on october 2, 2006 to read poetry at the san francisco gandhi… Continue

In my first blog on AK, I have suggested that if we can reduce the amount of salt and shuger in our daily intake of our meals we can get rid of hypertension, diabetics, heart trouble and many other problems that 80% of people have been suffering from as per my own clinical experiences with my patients in Europe, UK, USA and former USSR, for the last more than twenty five years of my Ayurvedic practice. Actually speaking we are not very clear about our own body, though we have won over the moon… Continue

Volunteer story

My volunteering teaching at Parijat Academy

There are only a few moments in life when we actually get the time for ourselves and even fewer moments when we get to do something for others. The thought of doing something for issues not directly related to one’s own self or loved ones is itself beautiful and rare. As such, given an opportunity to serve the needy or work selflessly towards the betterment of the society should play a vital role in everyone’s lives. Only then we can be… Continue
