Dwarko Sundrani When a direct disciple of Mahatma Gandhi -- Dwarko Sundrani
-- says something, it has a different ring to it. Especially when
it's something like, "We must resist violence with goodness."
Doing social work, running schools, practicing Gandhian traditions
and values, Dwarko-ji has led a life of compassion, dedicated to the
poorest of the poor in BodhGaya, the site where Buddha attained
enlightenment. At 80 years of age, Dwarko is one of the last active
disciples of Gandhi.
The network of 360 schools he founded has been visited by people
like HH Dalai Lama and Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. In fact, after
the Dalai Lama visited his Ashram, he is reported to have said,
"Dwarko-ji, I teach compassion; you are living it."
Currently, he is working on building the Center for Nonviolence
Research in BodhGaya. At a sacred spot, CNVR is seen to be a
place where nonviolence practioners can incubate projects that
merge science, spirituality and mutual trust.
Being 80, Dwarko-ji doesn't anticipate too many more trips to the U.S.
On October 23rd, however, we have the rare privilege of hosting an
evening with Dwarko Sundrani. The event is hosted in our home and there is
no cost to attend -- please RSVP for more details.
