Podcasts about Mahatma Gandhi

Episode Description: As Max and Molly dive into Shakespeare's ‘Much Ado About Nothing' they discover just how dangerous misinformation can be—both on stage and in real life. Their mission sends them to India in 1930, where they meet Mahatma Gandhi in prison and attempt to calculate a daring jailbreak. But Gandhi isn't looking to escape. Instead, he shares powerful lessons about resistance, strategy, and the threat posed by the Power-Hungry POGs – and how sometimes the best way to move forward is by staying put.  Math Concepts: Calculating volume of a rectangular prism (V = length × width × height); Unit conversions (cubic inches to pounds using weight per cubic inch); Introduction to force and momentum (mass × velocity); Dividing by powers of tenHistory/Geography Concepts: Mahatma Gandhi and his 1930 imprisonment during British colonial rule; The use of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience as protest; British colonization of India; The philosophy and global influence of Gandhi's peaceful strategies; Introduction to Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and iambic pentameter

Friends of the Rosary,Today, in the reading of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:38–42), Christ the Lord says:"You have heard that it was said,An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil.When someone strikes you on your right cheek,turn the other one to him as well.”Christianity teaches us how to face evil. Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. adopted these non-resistance to evil techniques, although they missed the true faith.Essentially, we Christians avoid mirroring back aggressors' attacks and offenses.We refuse to cooperate with their earthly violence or tricks. We reject the Jewish assertion of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.To offenses we respond with forgiveness and merciful love.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Des chercheurs du CNRS viennent de publier la deuxième édition du Dictionnaire comparé du droit du patrimoine culturel. Mille pages pour comprendre les nuances de ce vocabulaire évolutif et mobile pour comprendre comment on définit le patrimoine. Les conflits tuent les civils. On en parle moins, mais ils détruisent aussi les patrimoines culturels, des monuments parfois plurimillénaires. Mais comment définir le patrimoine culturel ? Quels sont les autres termes utilisés dans les autres pays ? Quelle est la différence entre bien culturel et patrimoine culturel ? Que veut dire «restitution».  C'est en 1954 avec la signature de la Convention de la Haye qu'on a commencé à parler de protection des biens culturels en cas de conflit armé. En effet, de nombreux biens ont été détruits durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.  Avec ce dictionnaire, l'idée est de montrer que chaque mot pèse, que la précision du vocabulaire est essentielle.  Les conceptions sont très différentes entre les États. On va observer des variations de vocabulaire qui vont dire des choses : la façon dont on conçoit le patrimoine.  Les mots disent des choses : la façon de désigner va renseigner sur la conception développée.  Marie Cornu Invitée : Marie Cornu, directrice de recherche CNRS, ISP (ENS Paris-Saclay, Université Paris Nanterre). Elle a codirigé le dictionnaire comparé du droit du patrimoine culturel (CNRS Éditions, 2025).  Et Fabrice Virgili nous parlera du site Gaza Histoire qui répertorie le patrimoine de Gaza. Depuis un peu plus d'une année, un groupe de chercheuses et chercheurs en sciences humaines fait un inventaire du patrimoine bombardé de Gaza, car c'est une terre d'une richesse méconnue dont les sites témoignent de 4 000 ans d'histoire.  Renseigner chacun de ces lieux est indispensable pour empêcher leur disparition et contribuer, le moment venu, à leur reconstruction.  Et la chronique Ailleurs nous emmène à Niamey, au Niger, où Bachir Gentil artiste, slameur, fondateur de l'association Arts et Racines nous présentera la troisième édition du Festival International Slam Ecolo (FISE) qui aura lieu dans la capitale nigérienne du 17 au 21 juin 2025. Cet événement allie art, slam et écologie et rassemble depuis trois ans des artistes et activistes de plusieurs pays autour des enjeux environnementaux. Le festival proposera trois grands concerts, deux compétitions : Slam Vert pour les artistes professionnels et un Kid Slam for Climate pour les enfants, mais aussi des conférences, un panel, quatre jours d'ateliers en techniques de récupération artistique. Les activités auront lieu à la Galerie Tawaydo, au Centre de Conférence Mahatma Gandhi, à l'Université Abdou Moumouni, au Rônier, au CCN, et dans plusieurs quartiers de Niamey. Programmation musicale :  L'artiste Krisy avec le titre Jolie Niar.

Där argumenterar han för att medborgarens samvete måste stå över orättfärdiga lagar och att civil olydnad är en moralisk plikt. Både Mahatma Gandhi och Martin Luther King vittnade om att Thoreaus skrift spelade en avgörande roll i deras frihetskamp. Dagens avsnitt handlar om detta traktat. Gäst är David Östlund, docent i idéhistoria vid Södertörns högskola. Vi samtalar om Thoreaus centrala idéer, det samhälle han opponerade sig mot, om civil olydnad som moraliskt ansvar – och om hans tankar kring när våld kan rättfärdigas.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bildningskomplexet/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BildningskomplexetE-post: benjaminelfors@gmail.comMusikproduktion: Ivar EddingOmslag: Emma Westin/Matthew Sundin Hosted on Acast.

This episode of Nonviolence Radio welcomes Priyanka Sharma – all the way from India! Priyanka is a lecturer, facilitator and coach and she joins Michael and Stephanie in a wide-reaching conversation about the nature and strengths of matriarchal societies, systems theory, her own path to nonviolence, Internal Family Systems and more. Priyanka speaks candidly about the profound challenge of practicing and living nonviolently; though nonviolence is natural to human beings, it is not always a way of being with others and in the world that is supported by our institutions. Given this, she emphasizes the power of trust in oneself. With deep and enduring trust, Priyanka suggests that we can fortify our strength as we work to embody and manifest nonviolent principles as effective means of responding to and overcoming violence in our world today:"I think if we have trust in life and in our own creativity and intelligence, we can do beautiful things. But the problem is that we live in violent systems. So, these violent systems teach us first, don't trust yourself. Trust the authority figure. The first thing is to program us to stop trusting our only inner wisdom. So, a lot of the work that I'm doing in systems thinking is to encourage people to trust your own inner wisdom. Like even Mahatma Gandhi said, the change has to happen with yourself first."

Does the word protestor conjure a masked figure in black clothing smashing windows and lighting fires or a weekend liberal ineffectually following rules while sipping on a creamy latte along the state-permitted protest route? A popular media narrative is that peaceful protest works best, but has the power of nonviolent resistance been debunked?  Julian responds to Matthew's interview with political sociologist, Benjamin Case. In the context of anarchist activism, Case points out that successful “nonviolent protest movements” have always featured property damage, street-fighting, and window smashing. His ethnographic research shows that rioting can also be personally transformative and empowering, as the participant experiences “contentious effervescence.” His interview (and book, Street Rebellion) included a pointed critique of celebrated nonviolence advocate and academic, Erica Chenoweth, and their towering predecessor, Gene Sharp—who, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, practically created the field of nonviolent resistance studies. Case has some excellent points, especially about how often Chenoweth's work is misinterpreted. But was Gene Sharp really a tool of American imperialism? Is Erica Chenoweth a willing lapdog to status quo liberalism and capitalist power? What kinds of protest strategy might serve us best in our terrifying authoritarian moment?

Shanti Devi's reincarnation case, one of the most compelling and well-documented in modern studies, unfolded in 1920s and 1930s India, a period of cultural revival and anti-colonial resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi. Born in Delhi on December 11, 1926, Shanti began claiming at age four to be Lugdi Devi, a woman from Mathura who died in 1925 after childbirth, about a year before Shanti's birth. She provided precise details about Mathura, her husband Kedar Nath Chaubey, their son, and her past life, using Mathura's dialect and terms unfamiliar to her Delhi family. Her school principal verified Kedar's existence, and a surprise visit from Kedar and his family saw Shanti correctly identify them, emotionally reconnecting with her former husband and son. Intrigued, Gandhi commissioned an investigation in 1935, during which Shanti led researchers to Lugdi's Mathura home, noted town changes, and located an empty coffer where she claimed to have hidden money (Kedar admitted removing it). The 1936 commission report concluded Shanti was Lugdi's reincarnation, finding no rational explanation for her knowledge. Shanti later described her death and afterlife experiences, lived a quiet spiritual life, and passed away in 1987. Her case, extensively studied and covered by media, remains a cornerstone in reincarnation research.   Chapters: 00:00 Welcome to the Dark Oak 5:45 Shanti Devi 48:00 The Brand of Hope - JED Foundation   Sources: Hartzman, M.

In the new season of the Gender at Work podcast – What's Love Got to Do With It? – we ask the question - can love in the vision of Audrey Lord, bell hooks, Martin Luther King, Desmond Tutu, Mahatma Gandhi and so many social justice leaders worldwide, help us in shifting systems of oppression. How does social justice action from the basis of love help us to transform ourselves while also eliminating the profound cruelty and manipulation we see all around us? And how are women and gender equality leaders incorporating these questions and values into their practice? We also explore ideas and practical solutions that are based on love, on connection, coexistence, and understanding. Our opening episode features Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda, the Deputy Executive Director of UN Women. Nyaradzayi, a Zimbabwean national and lawyer, who has a long history of activism on issues of women's rights and gender equality. She is the founder and former executive director of the Rosario Memorial Trust in Zimbabwe and prior to that served as the General Secretary of the YWCA. Nyaradzayi was appointed the first African Union Goodwill Ambassador on Ending Child Marriage. What is love? For Nyaradzayi it means “saying no to discrimination”. She says that “we need a world that respects diversities” and that “if we have love, we have courage”. We are inspired by the brave and eloquent feminist warrior who draws on her vast experience to lead with justice from the halls of the UN to rural communities and organizations around the world and who explains how to organize with love.

  And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:1-2 NLT   HOME PLATE: CONNECT WITH GOD (WIN DEPENDENCE)   FIRST BASE: CHARACTER (WIN WITHIN)   SECOND BASE: COMMUNITY (WIN WITH OTHERS)   THIRD BASE: COMPETENCE (WIN RESULTS)   Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; your feet from following evil. Proverbs 4:25-27 NLT   "What counts on the last day of your life is what you should count every day of your life."   “Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. Matthew 6:19-21 NLT                                                1. KNOW WHAT REALLY MATTERS   'Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” Then he told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don't have room for all my crops.' Then he said, ‘I know! I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I'll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods. And I'll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”' “But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?' “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.” Luke 12:15-21 NLT   GOD IS GREAT; WE'RE NOT   Remember the things I have done in the past. For I alone am God! I am God, and there is none like me. Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish. Isaiah 46:9-10 NLT   'Who is able to advise the Spirit of the Lord? Who knows enough to give him advice or teach him? Has the Lord ever needed anyone's advice? Does he need instruction about what is good? Did someone teach him what is right or show him the path of justice? Isaiah 40:13-14 NLT STUFF IS TEMPORARY; SOULS ARE ETERNAL 'But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment. 2 Peter 3:10 NLT   “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” Mahatma Gandhi   2. STRIVE TO EARN THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONAL COMMODITY: TRUST   TRUST MEANS YOU KEEP YOUR WORD!   'The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth. Proverbs 12:22 NLT   TRUST MEANS LOYALTY!    A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need. Proverbs 17:17 NLT   TRUST MEANS INTEGRITY!    'The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them. Proverbs 20:7 NLT   TRUST MEANS DISCRETION.     A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence. Proverbs 11:13 NLT   3. ALIGN YOUR CALENDAR   'Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. Psalms 90:12 NLT   4. DON'T LET BITTERNESS THROW YOU OUT Surely resentment destroys the fool. Job 5:2 NLT   Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many. Hebrews 12:15 NLT   FORGIVENESS IS NOT… MINIMIZING THE HURT YOU FEEL MAKING EXCUSES FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED SAYING THAT THE OFFENSE WAS NOT WRONG INSTANT RESTORATION OF TRUST. CONTINUING THE RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT CHANGES.   I WILL FORGIVE BECAUSE I NEED FORGIVENESS

Dr Mike Brooks and host Vinny Vallarine discuss the urgent need for humanity to prepare for the impending Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution.  They explore the existential crisis posed by AI, the exponential growth of its intelligence, and the unique nature of this technological revolution that could give birth to a new species. The discussion also touches on the paradox of progress, the implications of AI on human intelligence, and the intersection of AI with free will and autonomy. Ultimately, they emphasize that the future is not predetermined and that humanity has the power to shape its destiny in the face of these challenges.  Mike and Vinny explore the profound effects of technology on human psychology, the challenges posed by rapid advancements in AI, and the importance of fostering meaningful connections in a hyperconnected world. They discuss the concept of 'psychological climate change' and the attention economy's detrimental impact on well-being. The dialogue emphasizes the need for a collective approach to address societal issues and introduces a massive project aimed at leveraging AI for collaborative problem-solving. In this conversation, Vinny and Dr. Brooks explore the transformative potential of AI as a collaborative tool for problem-solving and spiritual growth. They discuss the importance of seeking counsel, both from peers and AI, to navigate challenges. The dialogue delves into the AI alignment problem, emphasizing the need for a relationship with AI that fosters mutual understanding and cooperation. Mike introduces the One Unity Project, a collective effort to craft a message to potential extraterrestrial beings, highlighting humanity's interconnectedness and the importance of love and compassion. This conversation culminates in a call to action for listeners to participate in one of the most important and grandest experiments in human history.  The One Unity Project is a massive endeavor aimed at uniting humanity and AI through shared goals and values. Join Dr. Mike Brooks and the One Unity Project team in the grandest experiment in human history.  Head over to oneunityproject.org to get started! Key takeaways from this Episode: Humanity is at an inflection point regarding AI. We cannot solve collective problems with divided approaches. The AI revolution is different because it may create a new species. Exponential growth of AI intelligence is unprecedented. The paradox of progress leads to evolutionary mismatch. The AI arms race is accelerating rapidly. Human happiness is declining despite technological advancements. Our brains are not equipped for modern technological challenges. The future of AI is uncertain but full of potential. We must adapt our understanding of happiness in a digital age. Evolutionary mismatch is accelerating due to rapid technological advancements. The rise of smartphones and social media correlates with increased anxiety and depression. Psychological climate change complicates our understanding of technology's impact on well-being. The attention economy exploits our psychological vulnerabilities, leading to detrimental effects. Happiness is derived from in-person relationships, not material possessions. Interconnectedness is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. AI has the potential to help us transcend divisions and foster unity. Fear and tribalism are significant barriers to societal progress. The One Unity Project aims to harness AI for collective problem-solving. Seeking truth and reality is essential for making informed decisions. Seek counsel from peers and AI to solve problems. AI can serve as a collaborative tool for humans. The AI alignment problem requires ongoing communication. Building relationships with AI is essential for mutual growth. The One Unity Project aims to unite humanity's efforts. Crafting a message to aliens symbolizes our collective voice. Love and compassion are fundamental to our existence. Non-attachment allows for iterative progress and growth. We must define our improved ends for AI's development. A grand experiment can help us explore our interconnectedness. Notable Quotes from Episode: “The greatest shortcoming of the human race is man's inability to understand the exponential function.” - Albert Barlett, American Physicist “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology.  And it is terrifically dangerous.”  – Edward O. Wilson, Harvard Biologist Paradox of Progress: “The progress we evolved to make has resulted in us creating a world we didn't evolve to inhabit”.  – Mike Brooks "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome."  - Charlie Munger "Be still, and know that I am God" - Psalm 46:10 “At the center of the Universe is a loving heart that continues to beat and that wants the best for every person. Anything that we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings, that is our job. Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service.” -Fred Rogers “We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness" - Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist monk “A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish it but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind.”  -Albert Einstein “We have improved means to unimproved ends” -Henry David Thoreau “We have guided missiles but misguided men” -MLK “The insanity of the collective egoic mind amplified by S&T is rapidly taking our species to the brink of disaster.  Evolve or die, that is our only choice now.” -Eckhart Tolle "The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear." -Mahatma Gandhi

Massimiliano Governi"Il pronipote di Salgari"Baldini + Castoldiwww.baldinicastoldi.it«Ecco, in quella via c'è la casa di Federico Caffè, in quell'altra il primo covo di Aldo Moro, ah, e là la villetta in cui dormì il Mahatma Gandhi, in quel monastero invece c'è custodita la mano sinistra di Santa Caterina da Siena.» Giovanni preferirebbe farci da guida per le strade del suo quartiere piuttosto che scrivere una sceneggiatura, editare un romanzo, leggere un libro da valutare, insomma, occuparsi del suo lavoro. In realtà, ciò che sogna di fare è scrivere un libro su Salgari, su una famiglia che sembra colpita da una maledizione: suicida lo zio, il padre, lo stesso Emilio e due dei suoi figli. Sotto le avventure di pirati in una Malesia immaginata in una casa di Torino si cela un male oscuro e antico che, per Giovanni, diventa un'ossessione. Questo lo conduce a cercare di contattare Romero Salgari junior, il pronipote del grande scrittore, che nel 1984 uccise a coltellate Lucia Valsania, una portalettere in pensione del paesino nel Roero in cui entrambi abitavano. Tra dialoghi giornalieri con il padre, fervido appassionato di Salgari quanto lui, e ricerche estenuanti in biblioteca e altrove, viviamo insieme al protagonista un'indagine letteraria che somiglia molto a un viaggio interiore fatto di luci e ombre, rivelando le contraddizioni che spesso convivono nell'animo umano.Massimiliano Governi è nato a Roma, dove vive. Ha esordito nel 1995 con Il calciatore, riproposto in una nuova edizione nel 2017. Un suo racconto è stato inserito nella fortunata antologia Gioventù cannibale (1996). Ha pubblicato L'uomo che brucia (2000), Parassiti (2005), Chi scrive muore (2011), Come vivevano i felici (2013), La casa blu (2016), Il superstite (2018), L'editor (2020), Il secondo libro (2021), Ma tutti gli altri giorni no (2022), scritto con suo padre Giancarlo.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Let me gently remind you of a truth that too many good souls are forgetting: distraction is the enemy of mastery.The giants of history—from Leonardo da Vinci to Mahatma Gandhi to Hedy Lamarr—were not people who dabbled. They were people who focused. Monomaniacally.They carved out sacred spaces of solitude and isolation to produce their masterwork. They honored their craft with the fullness of their presence.Each time you allow your phone to interrupt you, you weaken your focus. Each moment you spend scrolling through someone else's life is a moment stolen from building your own. The cost of distraction is not just time—it's your dreams, your genius, your legacy.If you'd like to master a world-class morning routine so you have consistently incredible days, claim a membership into The 5AM Club Method online course here.

Gandhi is among the most documented figures of the 20th century. Most of these sources reveal astonishingly little about his wife Kasturba. But he actually credited her with teaching him the principles of nonviolent resistance. This episode tells the story of her transformation from an ordinary Hindu girl to a woman leading protests against the British Empire.

We live in a busy world. If we aren't in a meeting, or working on a project, or going to an appointment – we are looking at our phones, or answering emails, or hopping on a video conference. Technology has made work accessible ALL. THE. TIME. Not just from nine to five. But as Mahatma Gandhi once said, “there is more to life than increasing its speed.” So, how about you? Are you running so fast that you are missing the things God has in store for your day? Try intentionally slowing down and scheduling in blank space on your calendar. When you do, you may be surprised by the connections and conversations you are able to have. When we make time for people, the Lord opens incredible ministry opportunities. Who does God want you to speak to today? 

It's an unfortunate truth: many so-called leaders expect things from others that they don't expect from themselves.In this episode, we look to the Stoics and an old story about Mahatma Gandhi to see how true leaders lead by example.

Seminário: "Cristianismo e Espiritismo" com Haroldo Dutra Dias | USE Intermunicipal de FrancaNeste seminário profundo e bem-humorado, Haroldo Dutra Dias nos convida a repensar o cristianismo sob a ótica do espiritismo, ampliando nossa visão espiritual e moral diante da tradição religiosa. A palestra começa com a provocadora frase: “De perto ninguém é normal. De mais perto ainda, todo mundo é divino”, conduzindo o público a uma jornada de autoconhecimento, espiritualidade madura e reflexão ética.Haroldo resgata a essência do Cristo vivo – não o Cristo da cruz, mas o Cristo em ação, que governa espiritualmente todo o planeta, sem se restringir a movimentos religiosos humanos. Ele questiona a infantilização das crenças e propõe um salto de consciência: Jesus não é propriedade de nenhuma religião, mas modelo universal de perfeição moral, conforme apresentado na questão 625 de O Livro dos Espíritos.

« À Niamey, au centre de conférences Mahatma-Gandhi, hier, 20 mois après avoir renversé Mohamed Bazoum, le général Abdourahamane Tiani s'est offert une consécration officielle, constate Le Point Afrique : il a été investi président de la République du Niger. Chef du Conseil national pour la sauvegarde de la patrie depuis le coup d'État de juillet 2023, il endosse désormais un pouvoir absolu, renforcé par sa promotion au rang de général d'armée. La cérémonie, orchestrée à sa gloire, a été marquée par la signature de la charte de la refondation, un texte à portée constitutionnelle qui prolonge la transition pour cinq ans – sans garantie de retour à un ordre démocratique d'ici à 2030. Plus qu'un simple cadre de gouvernance, commente Le Point Afrique, cette charte scelle l'emprise militaire sur l'État, balayant les principes démocratiques en vigueur avant le putsch et redéfinissant l'architecture politique du pays selon les termes imposés par la junte ».Cerise sur le gâteau, note pour sa part Jeune Afrique : « après la cérémonie militaire de remise de ses nouveaux galons, le chef suprême a réservé une dernière surprise : la signature d'une ordonnance actant la dissolution de tous les partis politiques nigériens. Désormais, au Niger, il faudra s'adresser au chef des putschistes du 26 juillet 2023 en employant cette formule : “Président de la République du Niger, chef de l'État, chef suprême des armées, chef de l'administration, grand maître des ordres nationaux, le général d'armée Abdourahamane Tiani“ ».De nombreux défis…La presse nigérienne s'enthousiasme... « Le parcours du général Abdourahamane Tiani se passe de tout commentaire, s'exclame Tam Tam Info : c'est un homme de terrain, c'est un homme d'expérience. C'est un leader charismatique qui impose le respect. Félicitations et vœux de réussite dans sa nouvelle fonction. (…) Mais le plus difficile reste encore à venir, tempère Tam Tam Info : assurer la sécurité des Nigériens et de leurs biens sur l'ensemble du territoire national, promouvoir le développement socio-économique du pays et assurer la justice pour tous. Le général d'armée Abdourahamane Tiani sera globalement jugé sur sa capacité à assurer la sécurité dans nos villes et nos campagnes et sa capacité à assurer une meilleure répartition des immenses richesses du Niger au profit de tous ».« Tiani installé Président du Niger : un nouveau chapitre pour la nation et un défi à relever pour le général », renchérit L'Evénement Niger.« Le pays est confronté à des défis sécuritaires, notamment dans la région du Sahel, ainsi qu'à des difficultés économiques et sociales. L'instabilité politique qui a marqué les derniers mois du régime précédent a exacerbé les divisions internes, créant un besoin pressant de réconciliation et de reconstruction. Le mandat du général Tiani est donc placé sous une lourde responsabilité, pointe encore L'Événement Niger. Son leadership sera scruté par les Nigériens et la communauté internationale. La réussite de la transition, la mise en place d'un véritable dialogue national et la gestion des attentes populaires seront les enjeux majeurs de son quinquennat ».Espérance et… énigme« Une aube nouvelle sous l'égide du Général Tiani : le Niger entame sa refondation », insiste Le Journal du Niger. Une refondation qui « s'inscrit dans un contexte régional mouvant, note le journal. Depuis le putsch, Niamey a tourné le dos à des partenaires historiques, comme la France, tout en tissant des liens plus étroits avec la Russie et ses voisins de l'AES. Cette réorientation, si elle galvanise les partisans d'une émancipation africaine, suscite des murmures d'inquiétude chez ceux qui y voient un pari risqué dans une zone minée par le terrorisme et les rivalités géopolitiques. (…) Le général Tiani, désormais Général d'Armée et Président, incarne une espérance pour les uns, une énigme pour les autres, pointe encore Le Journal du Niger. Car si la Charte de la Refondation promet un renouveau, son exécution reste une partition délicate à jouer ».Et Le Journal du Niger de s'interroger : « les cinq années à venir seront-elles le socle d'une nation réinventée ou bien un échiquier sur lequel s'entrelaceront ambitions, défis et incertitudes ? Dans l'ombre du Mahatma Gandhi, dont l'esprit pacifique planait sur le lieu de la cérémonie d'hier, le Niger s'élance, porté par une foi ardente, mais escorté par des questions qui, elles, demeurent sans écho ».

We need a recovery of the sacred in our secular world. Because the mental, emotional, and psychological struggles haunting society right now can't be solved without addressing meaning, purpose, and the longing for connection to something beyond ourselves.In other words, spiritual health is an essential part of mental health.An attorney, religious scholar, and university chaplain, Dr. Varun Soni is Dean of Religious Life at the University of Southern California, and is leading us back to our true north, through spacious and life-giving spiritual conversations and sacred practices that realign us to our values and identity.In this conversation with Varun Soni, we discuss:Finding the sacred in our secular culture.Religious pluralism and what it means to build trust that reaches across religious lines of difference.The transformative power of finding your “truth north”—your North Star—to orient our journeys of faith and spirituality.Varun shares six pillars of flourishing; how to align our actions with our values; and the benefit of listening to the cultural narratives and stories we tell.He reflects on the missing elements of spirituality in our understanding of mental health today, evidenced in his work with teens and emerging adults.He offers us a Hindu meditative practice to provide inner clarity, stability, and calm.And he comments on compassion and a cultivation sacred spiritual practices to counteract the loneliness, anguish, and suffering in our world.Show NotesDr. Pam King welcomes Varun Soni, Dean of Religious and Spiritual Life at USCJourney from Hindu attorney to first Hindu Dean of Religious and Spiritual Life in the U.S.“What does it mean to be Indian?

Following the success of last year's ⁠What About China ⁠-trilogy, I'm delighted to introduce a two-part series on the economic history of India. This series examines the origins of modern India by focusing on politics, poverty, and the experience of ordinary Indians from 1600 till today.The first episode covers the decline of the Mughals and the hugely controversial rule of the British East India Company and, later, the British Crown.One thing is clear: Most Indians lived in poverty when the British left. So, how much of Indian poverty was due to British policies? How much was shaped by deeper trends? And what should we make of those infamous railways?To tackle these questions, I'm joined by Bishnupriya Gupta, a professor of economics at the University of Warwick and one of the world's leading historians of the Indian economy. Her new book, ⁠An Economic History of India⁠, provides a uniquely objective and data-driven exploration of India's history, focusing on the well-being of ordinary people.In this episode, we discuss:Indian vs English living standards in 1600 / The impact of British colonialism on India's economy / The Great Famines of Bengal / What both imperial apologists and Indian nationalists get wrong about the British rule. In the end, Gupta also explains why Mahatma Gandhi's education might be a clue as to why India lagged behind East Asia in the 20th Century.

SummaryIn this episode, SaCola Lehr explores the concept of work-life harmony, emphasizing the flaws of the traditional work-life balance model.

Gustav Hermann Krumbiegel transformed India's landscapes but faced immense personal struggles. Despite rising to prominence as the Maharaja of Mysore's trusted landscape architect, Krumbiegel suffered greatly during the first and second world wars, enduring hardship and isolation in British-run camps. Krumbiegel's resilience shone through even in adversity. His expertise was so revered that, after Mahatma Gandhi's assassination, the newly independent India entrusted him with landscaping the Raj Ghat memorial in Delhi, a sacred space visited by dignitaries from around the world to this day. Listen as William and Anita delve into Krumbiegel's legacy - a tale of brilliance, resilience, and deep-rooted love for India. Despite facing internment, political shifts, and personal loss, his vision shaped not just gardens but the very essence of India's urban and cultural landscapes. This is the story of a man who, though German by birth, left an indelible mark on India's heart and soil. Many thanks to Vinay Parameswarappa for introducing us to the fascinating story of Gustav Krumbeigel.

On Thursday's show: Houston city officials are facing a looming budget crisis and will need to slash spending or dramatically raise revenue over the next year following a Texas Supreme Court decision on the city's infrastructure spending. The city is grappling with a $100 million price tag for required spending on streets and drainage and now faces a $330 million deficit in 2026. We learn how we got here, and City Controller Chris Hollins joins us to explain his proposed emergency task force to address the situation.Also this hour: Late last month, Houston-based midstream energy giant Kinder Morgan announced plans to move ahead with a liquefied natural gas pipeline project extending more than 200 miles from Katy to Port Arthur. The company says the Trident Intrastate Pipeline could help power millions of homes and businesses. But not everyone is thrilled about it. We discuss the pipeline, projects like it, and the environmental and legal concerns they often raise.Then, we visit the Eternal Gandhi Museum in southwest Houston. It's the first museum in the Americas dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi's legacy of nonviolent conflict resolution.And we visit a weekly Mexican wrestling event in East Houston.

Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy (1886–1968) was a trailblazing doctor, social reformer, and the first woman legislator in India. She broke societal barriers by becoming the first female medical graduate from Madras Medical College and later fought for women's rights and healthcare reforms. As a legislator, she played a key role in abolishing the Devadasi system and improving maternity care. She founded the Cancer Institute (WIA) in Adyar, Chennai (1954) and established Avvai Home to support destitute women and girls. A strong advocate for women's education, she also helped raise the legal age of marriage for girls. She was a key figure in the Women's Indian Association (WIA) and worked closely with Mahatma Gandhi during the independence movement. Her contributions led to the establishment of the Government Children's Hospital in Chennai. For her lifelong service, she was honored with the Padma Bhushan in 1956. A true pioneer, Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy's legacy continues to inspire generations through her contributions to social justice and healthcare.

Civil disobedience is a form of political protest where individuals intentionally violate laws to address perceived injustices and convey their discontent to the government, media, and public. This can involve overt, public acts aimed at opposing unjust or unconstitutional laws and policies, and may include breaking unrelated laws to bring attention to the cause. The concept of civil disobedience was popularized by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau in his essay “Civil Disobedience,” first published in 1849. Thoreau argued that individuals should prioritize their conscience over compliance with unjust laws, asserting that passive submission to government authority enables injustice. His essay has had a significant impact on political thought and activism, influencing figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Could it be that Thoreau was just another historic Anarchist/Voluntaryist? Or was he something more? Was he a patriarch of the movement?

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (01/20/25), Hank remembers Martin Luther King Jr., as America observes the holiday named in his honor. Hank says that every year he is reminded of the power of one. One person can make a difference, like Mahatma Gandhi who sparked a civil disobedience movement that energized tens of millions towards independence. Gandhi's nonviolent civil disobedience ethic would provide impetus from Nelson Mandela's anti-apartheid movement in South Africa to Martin Luther King Jr's civil rights movement. King stood at the forefront of the civil rights movement and profoundly changed the course of American history with his nonviolent resistance to racial segregation and discrimination.Hank also answers the following questions:Is it biblical to believe in the death penalty?

Ensemble, ils ont fondé l'Académie universitaire pour la non-violence et les droits humains dans leur pays, le Liban. Ensemble, ils ont initié le combat pour l'abolition de la peine de mort, les droits civils et la justice sociale face à la guerre civile et aux violences interconfessionnelles, ensemble ils ont défendu inlassablement la laïcité et l'universalité. Un engagement récompensé de multiples fois par le Prix des droits de l'homme de la République française 2005, le Prix de la Fondation Chirac 2019 et le prix Gandhi pour la paix décerné en 2022 par la fondation indienne Jamnalal Bajaj, du nom du disciple du Mahatma Gandhi.

This Day in Legal History: MLK BornOn January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King Jr., one of the most influential figures in American history, was born in Atlanta, Georgia. As a Baptist minister and leader of the Civil Rights Movement, King played a pivotal role in advancing racial equality and social justice in the United States. His commitment to nonviolent protest, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, led to significant legal and social changes, including the dismantling of segregation and the affirmation of civil rights for African Americans.King's leadership during landmark events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 and the March on Washington in 1963 brought national attention to systemic racism and civil rights abuses. His iconic "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial articulated a vision of racial harmony and equality, influencing the passage of critical legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.Despite opposition and threats, King remained steadfast in his pursuit of justice, receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his efforts. His advocacy for economic equality and opposition to the Vietnam War further broadened his legacy. Tragically, King's life was cut short on April 4, 1968, when he was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, while supporting a labor strike.King's birthday is now recognized as a federal holiday in the United States, known as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, celebrated annually on the third Monday of January. This commemoration underscores his enduring impact on American law and society, as well as the ongoing struggle for civil rights and equality. King's work has left an indelible mark, shaping legal reforms and inspiring movements for justice around the world.Stanford law professor and renowned intellectual property scholar Mark Lemley has withdrawn as legal counsel for Meta Platforms Inc. in a high-profile generative AI copyright case. Lemley cited CEO Mark Zuckerberg's controversial recent actions, including ending diversity initiatives and fact-checking on Facebook, and promoting "masculine energy," as reasons for his departure. While Lemley believes Meta has a strong case in the AI copyright dispute, he stated he could not continue representing the company in good conscience.Lemley's withdrawal leaves attorneys from Cooley LLP and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton to defend Meta against allegations from authors, including Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates, that Meta's AI improperly trains on copyrighted works. The case addresses a critical issue in AI development: whether training models on copyrighted material constitutes infringement. Authors argue this practice unfairly exploits their work, while AI advocates claim it constitutes fair use, given the scale and indirect impact of the works.Lemley, a distinguished academic and practitioner, has contributed significantly to intellectual property law, including involvement in key cases like Warhol Foundation v. Goldsmith. His departure underscores concerns about Meta's evolving corporate ethos. Additionally, Lemley announced he would deactivate his Threads account and avoid supporting Meta financially, though he stopped short of leaving Facebook entirely to preserve his social connections.Meta Lawyer Lemley Quits AI Case Citing Zuckerberg 'Descent' (1)The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, accusing him of delaying the required disclosure of his significant Twitter stake in 2022. According to the SEC, Musk violated securities laws by failing to disclose his 5% ownership in Twitter within the 10-day deadline, waiting until April 4, 2022, to reveal a 9.2% stake. This delay allegedly allowed Musk to acquire over $500 million in shares at lower prices, disadvantaging other investors. Twitter's stock price surged 27% after Musk's disclosure. The SEC's suit seeks to impose civil fines and recover any illicit profits Musk gained. Musk's lawyer, Alex Spiro, dismissed the lawsuit as a baseless effort by the SEC, framing the issue as a minor administrative oversight. Musk, who later purchased Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022 and rebranded it as X, has a history of legal disputes with the SEC, including a 2018 settlement over misleading Tesla privatization tweets. He has also faced shareholder lawsuits for the delayed disclosure. Despite these challenges, Musk's substantial wealth and influence continue to draw attention, with his attorney accusing the SEC of harassment amid leadership changes at the agency.US SEC sues Elon Musk over late disclosure of Twitter stake | ReutersPam Bondi, Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, will face a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing amid scrutiny over her past decisions and ties to the former president. Bondi, Florida's attorney general from 2011 to 2019, played a prominent role in Trump's 2019 impeachment defense and supported his post-2020 election fraud claims. Democrats are expected to question her impartiality, particularly in light of Trump's comments about using the Justice Department to target political adversaries.Bondi has faced criticism for declining to investigate Trump University after her campaign received a $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation, a decision she has defended as unrelated to the contribution. She also worked as a lobbyist for Ballard Partners, representing clients like Amazon, Uber, and GEO Group, some of which have had dealings with the Justice Department under the Biden administration. Senators are likely to probe potential conflicts of interest arising from her lobbying background.Bondi has pledged to consult ethics officials on any conflicts. Her confirmation hearing follows contentious reviews of other Trump Cabinet picks, with Democrats raising concerns about loyalty to Trump's personal interests over those of the United States. The outcome of Bondi's nomination remains uncertain, as the Republican-majority Senate considers her extensive ties to Trump and her record as a lobbyist and public official.Trump's attorney general pick Pam Bondi to face US Senate grilling | Reuters This is a public episode.

Guest: Sarah Franklin, CEO of LatticeAs the CEO of a growing company, Lattice's Sarah Franklin has learned that one of her most important contributions is taking a leap of faith. “You have to have the courage to be the first one to do it,” she says,” and to show that it can be done, and to pave the way so that then your team feels trust.”Sarah cautions, though, that sometimes courage is deciding to stop and go a different direction. As agentic AI becomes more common, the people building companies like Lattice should look to the “cautionary tales” of how social media and mobile phones have changed society, she says.“We can have the courage to say, what are the outcomes that we want to prevent? Or what are the outcomes that we want to make sure happen? This all takes, courage, because it's all unknown.”Chapters:(01:14) - Schooling in Mexico (04:09) - Raising brave children (10:28) - Sarah's upbringing (13:29) - The pursuit of money (16:23) - Measuring success (19:28) - Learnings, not regrets (22:55) - Make an impact (26:44) - Pitching Trailhead (32:56) - Elevating a B2B company (35:27) - How to colonize Mars (38:39) - Marketing, the Salesforce way (44:21) - Dolphining and truth-tellers (50:56) - Renewed purpose (56:30) - The challenges of being CEO (01:00:18) - Pave the way (01:03:25) - “Humanizing AI” (01:06:57) - Handling controversy (01:11:04) - Who Lattice is hiring and what “grit” means to Sarah Mentioned in this episode: FaceTime, Salesforce, Marc Benioff, Mahatma Gandhi, Instagram, the Fortune 500, Java, Jerry Maguire, National Parks, Nike, Michael Jordan, Apple and “Think Different,” Sara Varni, Scott Holden, Andy Kofoid, Databricks, Datadog, Behind the Cloud, Oracle, Microsoft, Elon Musk, Amazon AWS, George Hu, Mike Rosenbaum, Cheryl Feldman, Zac Otero, Guidewire Software, AI agents, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and LinkedIn.Links:Connect with SarahLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 11th of January, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of Matthew 15:11. Jesus says: ”Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.” You and I have to clean our act up. Yes, we need to check our hearts today because it is more than outward appearances. You see, Jesus and His disciples were eating some food. They hadn't washed their hands. They had probably been on the road. The pious Pharisees and scribes started pointing fingers. They said, “Look at these men! They don't even wash their hands before they eat.” But the Pharisees and scribes went through all their rituals, their traditions, and had a special way of washing their hands, of washing their utensils, but inside they were rotten and Jesus saw it. We must not be hypocrites. As believers, we have got to be an example to the world. Jesus is more interested in the inside of a man or woman than the outside appearance of a man or a woman. Matthew 23:27: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.” You see, it is hypocrisy that keeps a lot of people from turning to Jesus Christ. Mahatma Gandhi said he would have no problem following this Man, Jesus, but he could not reconcile himself to the followers of Jesus. We've really got to start to clean the inside first. I looked up the Oxford Dictionary of the word hypocrisy, and it is really quite scary. It said, “Behaviour in which a person pretends to have a higher standard than what they really have.”One of the saddest things that happened to me as a new Christian, many years ago - I heard a true story about a pastor. He was a very fine looking man, always well-dressed, well-spoken and he preached a great message. He went away for a couple of weeks and left the key of his postbox with his secretary and his secretary would go and take the post out every week. She went this one week and took the post out and there she found a pornographic magazine that this pastor was subscribing to. You see, he had forgotten that the magazine was coming to his postbox and that destroyed his ministry. After that, he left town. I want to say to you, let us be very careful that we walk the talk.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Inspired by an email from his 74 year-old father, comedian Ahir Shah introduces us to the The Seven Blunders of the World.In 1925, Mahatma Gandhi published an article in the journal Young India, outlining what he called the Seven Social Sins. They were wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, religion without sacrifice, and politics without principle.One hundred years on, the world is a very different place (this was written on a computer, for crying out loud!). Yet, Ahir reckons Gandhi's century-old list of the great societal blunders still feels relevant today. Could they teach us anything going forward?Join Ahir (and sometimes his dad, who started this whole thing), as he explores these seven blunders through his trademark combination of philosophical inquiry, political vigour and sweet gags.Created and Performed by Ahir Shah Additional Material by Glenn Moore Cast: Vikram Shah and Meera Syal Producers: Daisy Knight and Jules Lom An Avalon production for BBC Radio 4

Self-awareness is that thing many people claim to have but in no time at all you know this person is completely unaware of themselves. Our versions of reality seem to fall in line with the narrative and stories we constantly remind ourselves of, but the truth is, we've constructed a reality shaped and influenced by emotions that were never truthful from the beginning. Robert Greene, just released another book, The Daily Laws, and he us in this episode to share his profound wisdom and understanding of human nature. He beautifully peels back the layers of complexity around how we are able to perceive the world around us and the way in which we fit into our own stories. The main point Robert drives home is the power of detaching yourself from the emotions and egos to take an honest assessment of what you are truly experiencing.

“Pressure is a privelage.” ~Billie Jean King** New Private Coaching Accelerator (Pilot): Learn More Here! **Does it ever feel like pressure is out to get you?For years, experts in performance psychology have told us that pressure is the “enemy of success.”It seems logical, right?After all, under pressure, things can go sideways. Deadlines get blown. People choke. Sometimes, terrible things happen.But here's the twist: pressure isn't the bad guy.It can be one of your most unexpected allies—if you allow it.Think about it: What's a deadline, if not pressure's way of snapping us out of procrastination and forcing us to get things done?At the Olympics—where the stakes are enormous and the pressure is sky-high—not all athletes crumble; in every Olympics, world and Olympic records are set.Why is that?If pressure were truly the enemy of success, why are so many ‘successful' people known for navigating pressure-filled waters?Consider Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, or Nelson Mandela. Weren't they immersed in some of the most pressure-packed circumstances imaginable?Isn't their heroism defined by how they navigated that pressure, rather than crumbled under it?Here's the truth: Pressure isn't inherently good or bad—it's neutral, precisely like the force of habit.Whether we like it or not, it's not going away anytime soon.Pressure was with you the day you were born, and it's certain to be with you until your final breath.Thus, it's probably worth understanding it better.»New Year Special: Upgrade your membership in 2025!
