Civilization is essentially a journey
of nonviolence, Gandhi said. For him,
nonviolence is the law of life. The world has come to realize this fact, as
Gen. McArthur said, violence ‘is not only fundamentally wrong but contains the
germs of self-destruction’. The work of Gandhi demonstrated the efficacy of
nonviolence as an attitude and a system of conducting personal and public life
in a manner that is just, peaceful, and sustainable.
This assumes great significance in the
21st century, as modernity has made every
individual global in one’s potential.
With Internet, satellite communication, global economy, our every action
draws a world of energy and make us global in our strength and ability. In the words of Alfred North Whitehead, the
worlds “arise and coalesce” in becoming an individual what she is today.
Individual life has gained ‘vishwaroop (global stature). In other
words, society (global society ) has become the very body of every
individual. There is no individual
without society today. Even for self interest one has to be socially conscious.
Not being socially conscious is therefore contrary to the nature of modern
life.
Not being social, but
pursuing global living is the cause at the root of global challenges. From personal deceit to ecological damage we
witness in life ethical transgression at every front.In the pluralistic human
society, narrow individualist sentiments try to topple the prospect of the very
life on earth.
With
the view to introduce Gandhian nonviolence to the new generation, Sevagram
Ashram Pratishthan in association with MGM University and Gandhi International, France and Academic University College
for Non-violence and Human Rights-AUNOHR offer a Four-Month online training program on
nonviolence and peace.
