OSHER 93 - Spiritual Gandhi: How He Changed Himself and The World

Mahatma (the great-souled one) Gandhi's primary goal was realization or "moksha". He was a shy and fearful child and young man. Over time, he transformed himself into an international statesman, a man of strength, love and integrity able to change the Indian culture and uplift a people from years of humiliation, poverty and self-doubt. Through spiritual study and practice, he created a new form of social change called nonviolence. It is based on the ancient Hindu principle of non-hurting and faith in the transformative power of love. Our course will be interactive, lively, open to humor and uplifting. Participants often experience emotional, psychological and spiritual change and well-being inspired by Gandhi's example.
