Gandhian Values You Can Use

As we remember Mahatma Gandhi in the month of October, let us look at some Gandhian values that we can adopt in our lives.

Passion for Truth
Gandhiji courageously affirmed: “My life is my message”. Truth and love were the essence of his life. He was a tireless seeker of the truth and was well aware that truth alone would set one free.

Be Willing to Remake Yourselves
Gandhiji was determined and dedicated to the task of remaking himself. He was offering his valid contribution to re-design the world

Winning Battles with the Strength of Non-Violence
Many have won great battles for social and political transformation using the principles of Mahatma Gandhi. Martin Luther King, champion of the American civil rights movement; Nelson Mandela who brought an end to apartheid in South Africa, the Dalai Lama who advocated a peaceful resolution in Tibet; Aung San Suu Kyi who struggled to bring democracy in Myanmar (Burma); and Cesar Chavez who fought to reduce exploitation of farm workers in California, have all acknowledged Gandhi’s role in their lives and work.

Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of our Nation set a true example of leadership & inspired generations of leaders across the world. May his legacy continue to inspire you as you gear up to become future leaders & the change you wish to see in the world.
