Documentary on Mahatma's natural lifestyle, healing techniques
Documentary on Mahatma's natural lifestyle,
healing techniques
Fitness guru Mickey Mehta is launching a new
film, with mantras culled from the lifestyle of Mahatma Gandhi, set for October
2 release this year.
"There is plenty of material on Mahatma
Gandhi but not much is available about his contribution to wellness. Very
little is known about that side of the man, so I thought I should do something
about it," says Mehta.

Gandhi Journal Article - III
Science, Truth and
Gandhi: Divergence and Convergence
Madhav Govind
Gandhi's notion of truth
transcended the narrow conception of truth articulated by science. Gandhi's
criticisms of science emanated not only from the blind application of science
but also from the methods and practices of scientists to acquire scientific
knowledge. He advocated for the incorporation of "theo-centric"
humanism within the body of science and technical practices to bring back the
much needed humility in man and to put an end to the arrogance prevalent today
in the pursuit of knowledge and its application.

Gandhi Journal Article - II
Reflections on Gandhi's Economic Ideas
By Naresh Kumar Sharma
Understanding
the essence of the phrase - good life is basic to understanding the economic
phenomena, economic theory and economic systems. Mahatma Gandhi's economic
ideas may be better understood and appreciated in the context of a particular
view of what constitutes a good life as well as a particular way of organising
economic life (institutions, activities, constitutional provisions etc.,) as it
pervades and dominates almost the whole of the world today.
Even though Gandhi has been discussed much more in relation to politics, philosophy, morality, culture, civilisation, etc, economic issues loom large in the totality of the work of Mahatma Gandhi. His most important work, ‘Hind Swaraj' itself is an important testimony to the same. In particular, the chapter on ‘Why was India lost?' presents, basically, an economic argument for enslavement of India and not any conventional political argument. This work also points to his vision for a good economic system.

Gandhi Journal Article - I
King of Kindness
Vinoba Bhave and His Nonviolent Revolution
By Mark Shephard
"Jai jagat! -
Victory to the world!." -
Vinoba
Once India gained its independence, that
nation's leaders did not take long to abandon Mahatma Gandhi's
principles. Nonviolence gave way to the use of India's armed forces.
Perhaps even worse, the new leaders discarded Gandhi's vision of a
decentralized society - a society based on autonomous, self-reliant villages. These leaders spurred a rush toward a strong central government and an
industrial economy as found in the West.
Yet Gandhi's vision was not abandoned by
all. Many of Gandhi's "constructive workers" - development experts
and community organizers working in a host of agencies set up by Gandhi himself
- resolved to continue his mission of transforming Indian society.
Leading them was a disciple of Gandhi previously little known to the Indian public, yet eventually regarded as Gandhi's "spiritual successor": a saintly, reserved, austere individual called Vinoba.
