On Gandhiji's martyrdom day, 30th January, Ahimsa Conversations will complete three years.
https://www.youtube.com/@AhimsaConversations
* In March, 2022, the first series of 108 episodes was completed.
* The Conversations of this first series have been arranged into 12 playlists which reflect the broad themes that are emerging.
* Since then 23 Ahimsa Conversation Glimpses, videos of a minute or less, have been published.
* On October 2nd 2022, the second series of Ahimsa Conversations was launched.
* There are now 116 Ahimsa Conversations online and a total of over 250 videos -- including 'Snippets', 'Glimpses', recordings of Ahimsa Conversations Live sessions and even the occasional 'Curator's Blog'.
On Monday 30th January, let us gather both in person and online, to mark this crucial day in the recent memory of this sub-continent. We gather to reaffirm core values of truth, brotherhood, compassion and nonviolence and also to share notes on our collective efforts to live by these values.
We will start with a few songs, poems, bhajans.
Then we can share reflections on the on-going explorations of and striving for ahimsa.
I can review how and why I began Ahimsa Conversations and where the journey has taken me over these three years.
Let us have an open sharing of our nuanced understanding of multi dimensional forms of nonviolence and how we can better understand the striving for it and critique our efforts so far. Hope you can join us. Warm Regards: Rajni Bakshi
