Virtual talk with Arun Gandhi: Nonviolence in a Violent World
Wednesday, March 10 at 6:30p.m. (CST) via Zoom, link below
Arun Gandhi is the fifth grandson of India’s legendary leader, Mohandas K. “Mahatma” Gandhi. Grandfather taught Arun to understand nonviolence through understanding violence. “If we know how much passive violence we perpetrate against one another we will understand why there is so much physical violence plaguing societies and the world,” Gandhi said. Through lessons taught from his grandfather, Arun says, he learned about violence and about anger. Arun has dedicated his life in socio-political activism, including many projects for the social and economic uplifting of the oppressed using constructive programs, the backbone of Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolence.
The M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence in a nonprofit that equips people to use nonviolence to create a sustainable and just world for all and was founded by Arun and his wife, Sunanda, at Christian Brothers University in Memphis in 1991. They moved the institute to Rochester, NY in 2007 and while he is no longer formally involved in the Institute, Arun is an important elder, teacher and active participant. Author of several books and participant with many notable interfaith activities, be sure not to miss this opportunity to hear him address our campus community.
