Conflict Resolution by Mahatma Gandhi, the Lawyer

CONFLICT RESOLUTION by Mahatma Gandhi, the Lawyer

“I had learnt the true practice of law. I had learnt to find the better side of human nature and to enter men’s hearts. I realized the true function of a lawyer was to unite parties riven asunder. The lesson was so indelibly burnt into me, that a large part of my time during the twenty years of my practice as a lawyer was occupied in bringing about private compromises of hundreds of cases. I lost nothing thereby – not even money, certainly not my soul.”

- Mahatma Gandhi, 1927

(The Law and the Lawyers, chap. 12, p. 45)

EKNATHEASWARAN ON ‘GANDHI THE MAN’

On this holy day, my eyes strayed to a book that I have owned fora few years but hadn't read properly. Eknath Easwaran has profiled MahatmaGandhi beautifully in his book "Gandhi, TheMan". A Geeta blog is the perfect venue toreview a book written by a noted teacher of the Geeta about that colossus ofthe 20th century, MohandasKaramchand Gandhi.

ShriEaswaranji was an accomplished spiritual teacherbased in California, and has written a three volume set "Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living".

Gandhi and the formation of the African National Congress of South Africa

Gandhi and the formation of the African National Congress of South Africa

"January 8, 1912, is the centenary of the African National Congress of South Africa."

The birth of the African National Congress a century ago, on January 8, 1912, was a landmark in the history of Africa, marking the beginning of the end of centuries of exploitation and humiliation of the continent. It received hardly any attention at the time internationally or from the white establishment in South Africa.

M. K. Gandhi, who was then looking after the families of prisoners and ex-prisoners at the Tolstoy Farm near Johannesburg, during a lull in the passive resistance movement in the Transvaal, hailed the event as representing “the awakening of Africa.” ...Read More

Mahatma Gandhi inspires my music:Cesar Lopez, Well-known Musician

2011-11-09T17:22:00.000+05:30

Columbian rock musician Cesar Lopez says he is inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's ideologies and spreads the message of non-violence through his gun-guitar, a six-string guitar made of of AK-47.

Lopez, 33, who was on his maiden visit to India to attend the Delhi International Arts Festival, feels music has the power to bind the world together.

"I compose songs talking about the severe issues of my country and my aim is to combat terrorism through the means of art and music. Since my childhood, I have followed Mahatma Gandhi and his struggle of freedom through non-violence," Cesar told PTI.

"Through our music we remind people how Mahatma Gandhi always followed the path of non-violence. Each year we celebrate Gandhi's birthday," he said.

Cesar, who is also a United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime messenger of non-violence in his country, visited the Gandhi museum to donate his gun-guitar as a tribute to Mahatma.

"This AK-47 can kill 300 people at a time and now I am composing music through it that will heal the pain of the people. So far, I have presented my guitar in 17 nations and presenting it to one of my favourite leaders was a major event in my life," he added.
