Heard Narayan Desai not too long ago,

who had long, direct contact with Gandhi himself,

and this was impressive and inspiring.


I heard him at UC Berkeley's iSchool,

and he speaks from his experience/heart,

with many experiences of being with Gandhi.

(I find the salutary effects of Hindu culture,

as well as India, fascinating, in many ways, anyway,

and I saw some of this in Narayan).

There are two + subjects with themes related to what he talks about at WUaS:

Ahimsa, or nonharming -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Ahimsa_-_Nonviolence_-_Pacifism_-_To_avoid_harming -

and Peace and Social Justice Studies -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Peace_and_Social_Justice_Studies ...

with an invitation to hear him when he's next speaking near you

(he also spoke at the Berkeley Friends' Meeting House on 4/12/12),

and to 'edit a page' at WUaS about these themes.

(WUaS is like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware).
