Gandhi A Real Lifetime Story

As we've inherited the path of nonviolence followed by Gandhi &the rest of the world also looks at India &all Indians the same way. I want to share a small story from Gandhi in his lifetime. Once a parent approached Gandhi to advice their small son to stop eating sweets. Gandhi sent them away and told them to come after two days, because Gandhi himself wasn't following what the parent asked him to do. Gandhi stopped eating sweets before he could tell someone not to do what he himself wasn't doing. The boy and the parents came after two days just as Gandhi had said. Gandhi now told the little boy that he must stop eating sweets, because sweets aren't good for health. The parent and the boy went away happily after they had Gandhi advice the little biy , because the boy wouldn't listen to them and they wanted Gandhi to help their son to stop eating sweets. The story that happened in Gandhi's life is a clear example of what Gandhi followed in his lifetime as he himself had said quote "My life is my message" in his autobiography. Gandhi didn't follow or do or tell someone he himself didn't follow. Today this story is more relevant to us, because we tell someone to do what we ourselves don't follow or do whether it's about climate or anything. It's important to learn the lessons of nonviolence and ahimsa from this story. All religions speak of love. We can overcome all evil only through love. The moral of this small story is that love is transcendental without boundaries, no amount of violence or hate can achieve what can be achieved through love in the shortest time.

Kamala Harris: Missing the Moment to Define Her Leadership

Transcript: The recent debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was an important moment for the Democratic nominee to solidify her position as a leader. Yet, instead of seizing the opportunity to project confidence and vision, Kamala seemed to falter, weighed down by personal fears and memories of long-standing struggles. A key point that stood out was how Kamala Harris seemed to forget the very words she once made her mantra in her career as a prosecutor: "Kamala Harris for the people." These five words, often repeated by her during her time in courtrooms, represented her fight for justice and equality. However, during the debate, this sense of purpose seemed absent. The stage was set for her to remind everyone why she was the candidate for all people, but she failed to deliver a message that would resonate on that larger stage. Rather than focusing on a forward-thinking vision, Harris spent much of her time reflecting on the negatives, particularly issues of racism, ...

Out of Touch with the Times: Biden's Disconnect with Young Voters in 2024?

Dear Team, As we progress further into 2024, it’s imperative that we critically assess our campaign strategies and leadership dynamics. President Biden, with his extensive experience and long-standing commitment to public service, has undeniably contributed significantly to our nation. However, there is growing sentiment that his approach and perspectives may not fully align with the rapidly evolving political landscape and the diverse needs of contemporary American society. Firstly, the modern electorate, particularly younger voters, is increasingly driven by issues such as climate change, technological innovation, and social justice reforms. These areas demand not only visionary policies but also a profound understanding of the digital age and its associated challenges. While President Biden has made commendable strides in these domains, there is a perception that his methods and pace may not resonate with the urgency and innovative spirit that these issues require. Secondly, the pol...
