Arun Gandhi is the fifth grandson of India’s legendary leader, Mohandas K. “Mahatma” Gandhi. Growing up under the discriminatory apartheid laws of South Africa, he was beaten by “white” South Africans for being too black, and “black” South Africans for being too white; so, Arun sought eye-for-an-eye justice. However, he learned from his parents and grandparents that justice does not mean revenge, it means transforming the opponent through love and suffering. The great Gandhi taught Arun to understand nonviolence through understanding violence.

Arun shares these lessons all around the world. For the past five years, he has participated in the Renaissance Weekend deliberations with President Clinton and other well-respected Rhodes Scholars. This year, some of his engagements included speaking at the Chicago Children’s Museum and the Women’s Justice Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He also delivered talks at the Young President’s Organization in Mexico, the Trade Union Leaders’ Meeting in Milan, Italy, as well as the Peace and Justice Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Sometimes, his journeys take him even further. Arun has spoken in Croatia, France, Ireland, Holland, Lithuania, Nicaragua, China,and Japan.

Arun Gandhi travels almost year-round all over the world speaking and teaching about nonviolence and promoting the work of the Gandhi Institute. The Institute’s work redoubles as the prevention and healing of violence becomes an ever-increasing need in our hearts and homes, our streets and communities, in our nation and our world. The research and work echoes and affirms the prophetic nature of Gandhi’s prediction: “Undreamed of and seemingly impossible discoveries will be made in the field of nonviolence."

Thanks.......
