DOING LIFE: Daily Devotions For Finding Peace in Stressful Times
" I am liking your Jesus very much! It's just your Christians I don't care for." (MaHatma Gandhi)
Offering a new global perspective on modern Indian history, Asianism and the Fall of Empire: India's Road to Freedom (University of California Press, 2026) by Mithi Mukherjee identifies the rise of Asianism in the early twentieth century as the origin and primary driving force of resistance movements that brought down the British Empire. Mithi Mukherjee ties together into a single sweeping narrative two contrasting, conflicting forms of anticolonialism: the emergence of the nonviolent resistance movement under Mahatma Gandhi in South Africa and the militant movement culminating in the war on British India by the Indian National Army under Subhas Chandra Bose in alliance with the Japanese army. Asia emerges in this breakthrough retelling not as an inert geographical category, but instead as a singular agent of change in modern world history. Mithi Mukherjee is a Professor of History at the University of Colorado Boulder. She specializes in the legal, political, and cultural history of modern India. Shatrunjay Mall is a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. His work in modern Japanese history, South Asian history, and transnational Asian history explores ideas of Pan-Asianism and its legacies, as well as intellectual, political, and cultural intersections and affinities between colonial India and imperial Japan in the twentieth century.

In this eye-opening episode of Something Bigger with Rodrigo Canelas, we sit down with Deepanshu Giri, founder of Lunar Astro Vedic Academy, bestselling author of Rituals of Happy Soul, and one of India's most recognized Vedic astrologers. Having spent years studying planetary charts, ancient texts, and thousands of real-life case studies, he challenges nearly everything popular culture gets wrong about astrology.Most people think astrology is either total nonsense or a magic wand where the right gemstone, the right puja, and good fortune arrive. Deepanshu dismantles both extremes in the first few minutes. Astrology, he says, cannot make you a millionaire if it's not in your chart, and it cannot conjure "good times" out of nowhere. What it can do is deliver consciousness, showing you your red flags, your blind spots, and the patterns that will keep repeating until you see them clearly. He backs this with a claim most astrologers would never admit: when his team ran longevity formulas across 125,000 birth charts, the traditional principles held in less than 8% of cases a number so low it reshaped how he approaches the entire practice, turning him, in his words, into "more of a data engineer than an astrologer."The conversation moves through territory rarely discussed this openly. Deepanshu breaks down why five minutes can separate two completely different life paths (using the Newtonian idea of space-time to explain planetary micro-charts), why he believes karma from your parents' actions literally shows up in your birth chart, and how Mahatma Gandhi's difficult Saturn placement became the very engine of his greatest transformation through conscious deprivation rather than resistance.This conversation isn't just about astrology or ancient prediction systems. It's about the deeper, uncomfortable question of how much of our lives is genuinely a choice, and how much is conditioning we've never paused to examine. Deepanshu's core message cuts through both blind belief and blind dismissal: the value isn't in prophecy; it's in the clarity to finally see yourself honestly enough to change what's actually within your control.Before you dismiss this as fate, or chase it as magic, ask yourself how much of your life right now is a conscious choice, and how much is just conditioning you've never questioned?Time Stamps:(0:00) – Introduction(2:09) – The Biggest Myth: Why Astrology Cannot Make You a Millionaire(3:08) – A Real Chart Example: What Makes Certain Scandals Inevitable(4:37) – Why Royal Marriages Share the Exact Same Planetary Combination(5:34) – The Real Job of an Astrologer: Delivering Red Flags, Not Comfort(6:59) – How Mahatma Gandhi Turned His Hardest Planet Into His Greatest Strength(11:04) – Can You Really Change What's in Your Chart?(13:34) – Testing Astrology Like a Scientist: The 125,000-Chart Study(15:20) – Why Charts Change Every Two Minutes(15:57) – How Your Parents' Karma Literally Shows Up in Your Chart(16:22) – The Grandmother's Devotion That Shaped Three Generations(21:20) – The Designer Who Was Wasting Her Life Running Factories(25:12) – King Farouk of Egypt and the Fortune That Couldn't Last(25:52) – Where Astrology's Ancient Wisdom Actually Comes From(27:52) – The Real Difference Between Reading a Text and Understanding It(28:52) – How He Learned to Read a Billionaire's Chart Like Bill Gates(30:52) – The Two Real Reasons Anyone Ever Comes to an Astrologer(32:00) – Why Astrology Answers Are Changing in the Age of Same-Sex Marriage and Green Cards(33:09) – Why Three Astrologers Can Give You Three Completely Different Answers(34:47) – The Lost Qualities of a "Proper" Astrologer, According to Ancient Texts(40:52) – The Corrupt Practice That Breaks His Heart Most(41:33) – Why He Refuses to Ever Sell a Gemstone(45:57) – The Remedy That Works and the Ones That Are Pure Theater(50:11) – The Abuse Survivor Told to Leave Everything Behind, Starting Today

Episode #577: Thomas Shapwon, a Naga elder and former politician, recounts the long struggle of the Naga people for sovereignty and survival between India and Myanmar. He describes the Naga as an ancient, independent nation with distinct language, culture, and traditions. From the formation of the Naga Club in 1918 to the declaration of Naga independence in 1947— one day before India's own— the community has resisted external domination. Mahatma Gandhi supported their independence, but his successor, Prime Minister Nehru, rejected it, eventually dividing the Naga homeland along the India-Myanmar border without consultation. Shapwon explains that the Naga people have traditionally lived under village councils with no kings or centralized rulers, embodying a democratic, republican ethos. He traces their ancestry to Mesopotamia and describes their migration through China before settling in the region. Christianity, brought by American Baptist missionaries, became central to Naga identity, with 95% of the population now Christian— a fact Shapwon sees as a potential bridge for international support. He emphasizes peaceful advocacy over armed resistance, using careful language: the Naga, he says, “request” recognition of independence rather than “demand” it, asserting equality rather than subjugation. Yet he acknowledges the armed movements that arose after Indian and Burmese military aggression in the 1950s, which forced the Nagas to form their own militias. The Burmese army's campaigns of violence and forced Buddhist conversions devastated Naga villages, while internal divisions— fueled by politics and drug infiltration— further weakened their cause. Despite assassination attempts and near-death experiences, including a bear attack he survived through what he interprets as divine intervention, Shapwon remains devoted to peace. Through his NGO, the Eastern Naga Development Organization, he promotes education, healthcare, women's empowerment, and opium eradication. Reflecting on the post-coup era, he calls for cooperation with other ethnic groups and envisions a future decided peacefully by the Naga people themselves.
What does it mean to bear witness for animals? In this episode, I'm joined by Anita Krajnc and Andrew Garner from The Save Movement and the Plant Based Treaty for a powerful conversation about animal advocacy, compassion, and creating change. We discuss the origins of Toronto Pig Save and Manchester Pig Save, the purpose of bearing witness at vigils outside slaughterhouses, and why exposing the hidden reality of industrial animal agriculture is so important. Anita shares the story behind the landmark "water trial," and we explore the goals of the Plant Based Treaty, the role of local governments in creating more sustainable food systems, and why the animal movement needs people with all kinds of skills and backgrounds to get involved. Whether you're a long-time activist or simply wondering how you can make a difference, this episode offers thoughtful insights into the many ways we can advocate for animals with compassion and purpose. In this episode, we discuss: • The origins of Toronto Pig Save and Manchester Pig Save • What it means to bear witness outside slaughterhouses • Why the reality of slaughterhouses is hidden from public view • Anita's "water trial" and what it meant for the movement • The Plant Based Treaty and its global campaign • Different ways to advocate for animals, regardless of your background or experience • Why the movement needs more people taking action About Anita Krajnc Anita Krajnc is Executive Director of The Save Movement, a worldwide network of Save groups bearing witness to farmed animals and global campaign coordinator for the Plant Based Treaty. She received her Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Toronto and is a dedicated follower of Leo Tolstoy, Satyagraha movement of Mahatma Gandhi and the US United Farm Workers. Anita has also been an assistant professor at Queen's University (Ontario) and has published extensively on social movements and environmental politics and is co-author of The Secret Life of Pigs: Stories of Compassion and the Animal Save Movement (2024). About Andrew Garner Andrew Garner is a British animal rights activist and environmental campaigner. He became vegan in 2012 and went on to co-found Manchester Pig Save, the first Animal Save Movement chapter in the UK and Europe. Andrew is the UK Country Liaison for the Animal Save Movement and a Global City Campaigner for the Plant Based Treaty. He works with local governments, volunteers, and campaigners to advance plant-based food policies and climate action, supporting local governments in developing practical initiatives that promote more sustainable, healthier food systems.

On la connaît sagement assise derrière le Mahatma Gandhi, revêtue d'un sari, le visage affable, la parole rare. Elle a pourtant été de toutes les luttes. Qui était Kasturba, l'épouse de Gandhi ?À l'aube de la Première Guerre mondiale, le couple Gandhi revient d'Afrique du Sud pour mener un combat politique et spirituel en Inde. Franck Ferrand retrace la vie de Kasturba, l'épouse de Mohandas Gandhi, et son engagement sans faille aux côtés de son mari dans la lutte pour l'indépendance. Originaire du Gujarat, Kasturba est promise en mariage dès l'âge de 7 ans à un jeune garçon du même âge, Mohandas Gandhi. Leur union sera finalement célébrée à 13 ans, malgré l'intimidation des jeunes mariés. Kasturba, bien que née dans l'aisance, va peu à peu s'émanciper et développer une forme de résistance passive face à l'autoritarisme de son époux. Lorsque Gandhi décide de s'engager dans la défense des droits des Indiens en Afrique du Sud, Kasturba l'accompagne et partage ses épreuves. Ensemble, ils vont forger une conscience politique qui les mènera jusqu'en Inde, où Gandhi deviendra le leader de la lutte pour l'indépendance.

How do you know if someone is truly a great leader? In a world obsessed with results, status, and influence, it's easy to overlook the one quality that ultimately determines whether leadership leaves people better—or worse.In this episode, I explore what makes real leadership through the lens of quotes from Cleo Wade and Mahatma Gandhi. We discuss why moral character matters more than charisma, why the "ends justify the means" is a dangerous philosophy, how leaders shape culture, and the questions we should ask before following anyone—whether they're politicians, CEOs, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, or creators. If you're interested in leadership, personal growth, ethics, business, or becoming someone others can trust, this episode is for you.Topics Covered: Why results alone don't make someone a great leader The hidden cost of "the ends justify the means" The Cleo Wade quote that changed how I view leadership Gandhi's warning about temporary victories Why love is often misunderstood as weakness How dishonest leaders shape toxic cultures The leadership questions everyone should ask before following someone Why character outlasts success How to lead even without a leadership title The difference between influence and integrity Why great leaders make other people better How to become the kind of leader others trust
Aunque la Constitución de India prohíbe la discriminación por castas desde 1950, este sistema de organización social sigue influyendo en la vida de millones de personas. Nacido hace más de 3.000 años, evolucionó desde una división del trabajo hasta convertirse en una estructura de desigualdad que condiciona el acceso a la educación, el empleo, el matrimonio y las oportunidades sociales. ¿Por qué continúa vigente? ¿Cómo ha cambiado con el paso del tiempo? En esta emisión de Historia explicamos uno de los sistemas sociales más antiguos y controvertidos del mundo.

July 1 is India's National Doctors' Day — marked on the anniversary of Dr. B.C. Roy, Mahatma Gandhi's physician. But India's story of healing runs far deeper.In this short reflection: Dhanvantari, venerated as the divine physician; Suśruta, whose Saṃhitā describes surgery; and Charaka, who bound the physician to an oath of compassion centuries before the modern one. Here, medicine was never just a technique — it was seva, it was dharma.A note on framing: this honors the ethic and lineage of healing, not a claim of medical efficacy; the dating of these figures is debated by scholars.— Prof. Pankaj Jain · Discover India: Bhārat Darśana
En 2016, la France expérimentait les «territoires zéro chômeur de longue durée». Un dispositif étendu en 2020, qui permet à des personnes durablement éloignées du marché de l'emploi de trouver un travail. Concrètement, des entreprises à but d'emploi (EBE), des structures à but non lucratif et financées par la dépense publique, ont ainsi été créées pour employer ces personnes en CDI, à temps choisi près de leur domicile. Dix ans après, plus de 4 000 personnes ont retrouvé le chemin de l'emploi grâce à l'expérimentation. Alors qu'une proposition de loi devait pérenniser ce programme, l'avenir de « Territoires zéro chômeur de longue durée » est suspendu au calendrier législatif français. Si des critiques sont formulées, les évaluations du projet sont globalement positives. D'autres pays comme la Belgique, les Pays-Bas, l'Italie, l'Autriche, l'Allemagne ou encore l'Afrique du Sud s'en sont d'ailleurs inspirés. Selon les chiffres de l'INSEE (l'Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques en France), parmi les chômeurs, 580 000 personnes en moyenne déclarent au quatrième trimestre 2025 être sans emploi et en rechercher un depuis au moins un an. Une situation qui impose des réponses concrètes de la part de l'État. L'ancien Rapporteur spécial sur les droits de l'homme et l'extrême pauvreté Olivier de Schutter, plaidait par exemple pour une « garantie d'emploi » afin de lutter contre la pauvreté et mieux protéger les travailleurs. Quels enseignements tirer de l'expérimentation française « Territoires zéro chômeur de longue durée » ? Avec l'arrivée de l'IA qui va supprimer de nombreux métiers, faut-il mettre en place un droit à l'emploi ? Avec : Florence Jany-Catrice, économiste coordinatrice du réseau RESTEZ (Recherche sur les expérimentations sociales et territoriales « TZC ») du CNRS Denis Prost, vice-président de l'association Territoires zéro chômeur de longue durée.

Leddy Hammock Highlights: Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi & lyrics from "One Step" by Harold Payne: "Stand up. Do not be moved by the forces around you. You are in control. We can all save the world together, one step at a time" (Mahatma Gandhi). "I get my inspiration from the words of the children. I'm trying to teach myself what they already know. If I can show my fellow man what a child can understand, then the seeds that I have sown will surely grow." If I take one step in the right direction, if I touch one heart along the way, And if that one step becomes a chain reaction, then my journey has not been in vain."
Qu'est-ce qui pousse un homme à tout quitter pour devenir moine à 9 ans, puis à repartir dans le monde, marcher 8 000 kilomètres sans argent, et porter le message de la non-violence jusqu'aux dirigeants des grandes puissances nucléaires ?Dans cet extrait, je vous propose un moment suspendu avec Satish Kumar, penseur, militant pacifiste, ex-moine jaïn, pionnier de l'écologie profonde et fondateur du Schumacher College.Satish nous y partage le récit de sa marche autour du monde qui dura près de 3 ans. Tout y est symbole :- il part sans argent pour s'obliger à être en lien avec les gens,- il marche et refuse toute autre façon de se véhiculer pour s'imprégner de la diversité des cultures,- il offre un sachet de thé aux représentants des puissances nucléaires pour les invités à s'assoir à table et à dialoguer plutôt que de s'armer,- il commence sa marche à la tombe du Mahatma Gandhi et la termine à celle John F. Kennedy pour montrer que les armes et la violence doivent être condamnées.Cet échange ouvre la porte à une sagesse puissante, à mille lieues d'un simple idéal : un chemin d'engagement concret, qui invite à déconstruire nos réflexes et à oser une action fondée sur la confiance et la radicalité du cœur.Un épisode pour celles et ceux qui ressentent l'élan, ou la nécessité, de réconcilier spiritualité et action, réflexion et engagement, et qui veulent puiser dans l'expérience d'un infatigable marcheur de paix, une inspiration sincère pour traverser nos tempêtes contemporaines.Je vous embarque dès demain, le 17/06/2026 pour l'épisode complet !Belle écoute.PS : l'épisode est en anglais. Si l'anglais vous fatigue, il sera sous titré en français sur youtube dès demain.(Tous mes remerciements à la Résidence Tallard, où Satish a résidé lors de son séjour à Paris et qui nous a reçu pour l'enregistrement de ce podcast.)Demain N'attend Pas est un podcast indépendant créé et animé par Delphine Darmon.Toutes les 2 semaines, j'échange avec des personnalités inspirantes pour questionner les récits qui façonnent notre monde, et ouvrir des pistes concrètes de futurs plus désirables.SOUTENEZ-nous : abonnez-vous au podcast, donnez-lui 5 étoiles, partagez-le, c'est notre meilleur soutien !Suivez DNP : Linkedin @delphinedarmon, Instagram @Demainnattendpas, Youtube @DemainnattendpasAbonnez-vous à la newsletter : Abonnement à la Newsletter - Demain n'attend pasHébergé par Ausha.

Friends of the Rosary,In today's reading (Matthew 5:38-42), Christ the Lord, in the Sermon on the Mount, exhorts us to nonresistance to evil.By the way, this passage deeply influenced Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.From a Catholic perspective, the ordinary way to face evil and resist demonic attacks is through a deeper union with Christ, and never through fear or engagement with the demonic powers.The Church teaches that Jesus Christ has already conquered Satan through His death and Resurrection (cf. Colossians 2:15).Our strongest spiritual protection is a life rooted in God's grace, remaining in a state of grace.Pray daily and read the Scriptures and Catholic spiritual books. Prayer keeps us close to God and strengthens us against temptation.

We're joined by Debbie Wilson of the International Animal Coalition (IAWPC) and Actor, Animal Activist and Advocate, Peter Egan discussing the latest on the campaign to end the violent and inhumane killing of street dogs in Morocco. Thousands of stray street dogs have been killed by either by extreme violence, being shot or poisoned. The reason - the forthcoming FIFA World Cup in 2030, which Morocco is co-hosting alongside Portugal and Spain. Despite being informed by the International Coalition - IAWPC that Morocco is in clear breach of all recognised and acceptable standards of civilised behaviour in relation to the humane treatment, welfare and protection of dogs, as well as in clear breach of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child., FIFA has refused to comment or take action. It's a moment to remember what Mahatma Gandhi famously said: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."To sign the petitions mentions in the show click here for Action Network and here for SoidogFor more information visit the website or follow on InstagramFollow Peter Egan on TwitterFor more about Antinol and Naturaw, including A Dog's Life discounts you can use, go to the 'Anna Recommends' page at annawebb.co.ukMusic and production by Mike Hanson for Pod People ProductionsCover art by JaijoCover photo by Rhian Ap Gruffydd at Gruff Pawtraits

Europe – and the rest of the world – is currently undergoing profound change. The (geo)political landscape is shifting, raising questions about what Europe is. During the European Literature Night, we invite six authors from across the continent to reflect on what it means to transform.Europe will have to define its culture, its values and its future, a future that will hopefully be shaped and informed by taking into account as many voices as possible. It is the very reason the network of European national cultural organisations, EUNIC Netherlands, is inviting six authors from across Europe to De Balie in Amsterdam during Europe Day. In their work, these authors explore what transformation means, within literature, within society and within themselves.About the writers:Małgorzata Lebda (Nowy Sącz, Poland, 1985) is well-known as a poet, with six collections to her name.

A spiritual school in Victoria teaches that we each have a spiritual guide who we can rely on to help us through life, and that the couple who run the school – Ian and Pearl Rogers – sit on a council alongside entities who have lived many lifetimes before this one. Students are lucky enough to gain access to incredible knowledge through this council, which boasts Leonardo Da Vinci, Mahatma Gandhi, and Lady Di amongst its members. But forum posts dating back to 2012 allege that Sphinx Spiritual has been operating as a cult for many years. It's only now that former members have started speaking out.Part 2 is already available to Patreon supporters, and will be released on the main feed on Wednesday 27 May.Full research sources listed here.

Au XIXe siècle, l'Empire britannique a construit en Inde l'une des frontières les plus étranges de l'histoire : une gigantesque barrière végétale faite… d'arbustes épineux. Son nom ? La « Grande haie de l'Inde ». Et derrière cette idée étonnante se cachait un enjeu immense : le sel.Aujourd'hui, cela paraît absurde, mais le sel était alors une ressource stratégique. Indispensable pour conserver les aliments et survivre sous les climats chauds, il était consommé quotidiennement par toute la population indienne. Les Britanniques avaient donc décidé de lourdement taxer ce produit afin de remplir les caisses de la colonie.Le problème, c'est que cette taxe encourageait une contrebande massive. Dans certaines régions, le sel coûtait jusqu'à dix fois plus cher à cause des impôts britanniques. Des milliers de marchands tentaient alors de transporter clandestinement du sel depuis les zones moins taxées vers les territoires contrôlés par Londres.Pour stopper ce trafic, les autorités britanniques créèrent ce qu'on appelait la « Inland Customs Line », une immense ligne douanière traversant l'Inde. Au départ, il ne s'agissait que de postes de contrôle dispersés. Mais surveiller un territoire aussi vaste était presque impossible.Alors, dans les années 1840, les Britanniques eurent une idée radicale : transformer cette frontière fiscale en mur végétal.Ils plantèrent des acacias, des cactus, des euphorbes et d'autres arbustes extrêmement épineux afin de créer une barrière presque infranchissable. Avec le temps, cette haie atteignit parfois plus de 4 mètres de hauteur et plusieurs mètres d'épaisseur. À son apogée, elle s'étendait sur près de 4 000 kilomètres, soit davantage que la distance entre Paris et Moscou.Des milliers de gardes surveillaient cette frontière végétale. Des postes de douane étaient installés à intervalles réguliers et les voyageurs devaient payer des taxes pour transporter certaines marchandises, notamment le sel.La Grande haie de l'Inde est longtemps restée méconnue car elle n'était pas construite en pierre comme la Grande Muraille de Chine. Pourtant, certains historiens la considèrent comme l'une des plus longues barrières jamais édifiées par l'être humain.Mais ce système avait un coût énorme et provoquait une profonde colère parmi les populations indiennes. Beaucoup voyaient cette taxe sur le sel comme injuste et humiliante. Quelques décennies plus tard, cette question du sel deviendra d'ailleurs un symbole majeur de la lutte contre la domination britannique.En 1930, Mahatma Gandhi lancera sa célèbre « Marche du sel », défiant directement le monopole britannique.La Grande haie finit par disparaître à la fin du XIXe siècle avec la réorganisation fiscale de l'Empire. Aujourd'hui, il n'en reste presque rien. Pourtant, cette frontière végétale géante demeure l'un des exemples les plus incroyables de la façon dont un simple impôt peut transformer un paysage entier.

An Australian couple has donated a bust of Mahatma Gandhi to the Indian community centre in Rowville, Melbourne, after a 400-kilogram bronze statue was stolen in February. Disturbed by the theft and damage of the original statue, Pamela Denny and Greg Staff chose to gift their own cherished piece, which they had preserved with care for over 40 years. SBS Hindi speaks with the couple, who say the news of the vandalism was heartbreaking and that they hope their gift helps restore a sense of unity.

In 1930, a 4 year old girl in Delhi, India started to make some incredible claims, claims relating to the concept of reincarnation. As we'll see these weren't just the random babblings of an innocent child, the claims proved strangely accurate. Who was this little girl? And how did she convince Mahatma Gandhi himself that reincarnation is real? Time for Rory and Kit to investigate!

Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's talk explores how Mahatma Gandhi embodied “soul force,” teaching that true power comes from self-awareness, simplicity, authenticity, and the courage to stand alone in pursuit of truth. It emphasizes that real change begins within—by living your values, starting small, and taking personal responsibility to be the change you wish to see in the world.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Summary Max City VOW Literature Festival Probal discussed the upcoming Max City VOW Literature Festival, explaining that its purpose is to celebrate diverse voices and ideas in Mumbai, which he described as India's gateway to the world. He outlined the festival's theme "One World, Many Words," which aims to provide a platform for different perspectives on global issues, including conflicts, gender, and environmental concerns. Probal emphasized the importance of engaging and embracing diverse opinions rather than shaping a single opinion. The festival will take place on March 28-29 at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Mumbai, with a schedule available on the Maxcity Lit Fest Instagram handle. Lit Fest Structure and Planning Probal explained the structure of the upcoming Lit Fest, highlighting two main sessions: a welcome session focused on contemporary issues and non-fiction works, and a panel discussion on the West Asia war, which has been rescheduled to day two due to rapidly changing circumstances. The West Asia panel will explore the direction of the conflict and its implications for India, featuring panelists Ambassador TCA Raghavan and Menaz Merchant. Hrishi announced that Homi Bhabha State University will also serve as a venue for the festival this year, and mentioned Probal's book "General Brass Tacks" which will be featured in a session titled "Five Assassinations and an Arms Deal." General Sundarji's Life and History Probal discussed his upcoming panel on General Sundarji's life and the 1980s, highlighting key events including political assassinations and an arms deal. He explained how he discovered that Sundarji's life parallelled India's post-independence history, revealing new details through research such as Sundarji's presence at Mahatma Gandhi's funeral and raising the tricolor in Pakistan on Independence Day 1947. Probal described the writing process as revealing more about Sundarji's life than initially expected, transforming the book from focusing solely on the 1980s to telling a broader story of India's history through Sundarji's perspective. Operation Brass Stacks Military Exercise Probal discussed his book "Operation Brass Stacks," which details a significant military exercise from the 1980s that was four times larger than NATO exercises and the biggest mobilization since World War II. He explained that the operation, led by General Sundarji, aimed to defend India's borders while launching strikes into Pakistani territory to target nuclear facilities. Probal noted that these important historical events are often overlooked in India due to military history not being widely popular outside military circles, and he sought to "de-jargonize" the story to make it more accessible to the general public. General Sundarji Book Discussion Probal Dasgupta discussed his book on General Sundarji, describing him as India's most important military strategist who influenced both military and political decisions in the 1980s. He explained how writing the book involved personal excavation of memories from growing up in the 1980s, including events like Operation Blue Star and the Sri Lankan campaign. Probal also promoted the upcoming Max City Lit Fest in Mumbai on March 28-29, highlighting various panels and speakers including Amish Tripathi and other notable authors.
力量不是蛮力,是死磕到底的意志莫罕达斯·卡拉姆昌德·甘地(Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi,1869—1948),印度民族解放运动的主要领导人之一,印度国民大会党领袖,被尊称为“圣雄”。“圣雄”一词源自梵语,“摩诃(Maha)”意为“大”,“阿特玛(Atma)”意为“灵魂”,合起来就是“伟大的灵魂”。他19岁赴英国攻读法律,后来在南非领导反种族歧视斗争,提出“非暴力抵抗”口号,1915年回到印度后倡导“非暴力不合作运动”,带领印度脱离英国殖民统治。他用一生践行“非暴力”哲学,影响了全世界无数争取和平与正义的人。这句话——“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”——直译是“力量并非来自体能,而来自不屈的意志”。甘地本人身形瘦削,从不靠武力说话,但他带领整个民族走向独立,一生绝食21次、被捕8次、坐牢约6年半,靠的就是这股“不屈的意志”。西方文化常常崇拜“强者”的肌肉与权力,而东方哲学从甘地到中国传统文化,都更相信内心的定力。孟子讲“富贵不能淫,贫贱不能移,威武不能屈”,不就是“indomitable will”最好的中国表达吗?我们在职场里、在生活里,常常觉得自己不够强大、不够有力。但甘地告诉我们:真正的力量从来不在你的肌肉里,而在你心里那股打死不退的劲儿。学英语也是一样,不是今天背多少单词就能立竿见影,而是靠每天一点点坚持的意志力。New Wordsstrength [streŋθ] n. 力量;力气;实力As an office worker, the strength to keep learning English every day helps me get a promotion. 作为一名职场白领,每天坚持学英语的力量帮我获得了晋升。capacity [kəˈpæsəti] n. 能力;容量;才能Your potential is far beyond your current capacity. Keep learning and you will grow.你的潜力远远超出你当前的能力。坚持学习,你就会成长。indomitable [ɪnˈdɒmɪtəbl] adj. 不屈不挠的;不可征服的She faced every challenge with an indomitable spirit and never gave up.她用不屈不挠的精神面对每一个挑战,从不放弃。will [wɪl] n. 意志;意愿;决心Learning a new language requires strong will and consistent practice.学习一门新语言需要坚定的意志和持续的练习。Quote to learn for todayStrength does not come from physical capacity.

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?

Should the United States and Israel have launched a war against Iran? It's a question many people are asking. It has stirred intense debate, controversy, and even wild conspiracy theories. But let's step back and try to address this in a sober, rational, and thoughtful way—without politics, without propaganda and slogans, and without the noise that so often clouds our judgment.Perhaps the real question begins even earlier. Before we ask whether this particular war is justified, we must ask a more fundamental question: What is the case for war at all? War is bloody, painful, and tragic. There is nothing desirable about it. No one truly wants war. No one dreams of sending their sons and daughters to fight on a battlefield. So why do wars exist in the first place? And is any war ever legitimate?There are those, like Mahatma Gandhi, who argued that war is never justified—even when one is attacked. According to that view, violence should never be met with violence. But history forces us to confront a difficult moral dilemma: if aggression threatens innocent lives, is it always moral to stand down? Or are there circumstances where defending life may require force?So before we rush to conclusions, we need to establish a framework. What are the criteria that make a war morally justified? What principles should guide such a decision? Once we have that clarity, we can then apply those standards to our current situation. Doing so allows us to cut through the rhetoric, the pundits, the disinformation, and the distortions that dominate public discourse.Only then can we ask the real question: Do operations like Epic Fury and Roaring Lion stand on solid moral ground? Because history teaches us something very important—clarity of purpose is essential. When a nation lacks that clarity, it loses direction. Vietnam is a powerful example of a conflict where the absence of a clear moral and strategic framework led to confusion and ultimately failure.But when there is moral clarity, it creates focus, unity, and purpose. And that is why the first step is not choosing sides, but understanding the principles.Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson to explore together the deeper question: What is the true case for war—and does it apply here?
Qasar Younis is the co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition, a $15 billion AI company that adds intelligence to cars, tractors, planes, submarines, and other vehicles—essentially, Tesla or Waymo without the hardware. He was previously COO of Y Combinator, started his career as an engineer at GM and Bosch, and was born on a farm in Pakistan.We discuss:1. Why the biggest AI revolution will play out in mining, farming, construction, and trucking over the next 5 to 10 years, not in software2. Why Qasar intentionally stayed under the radar for nearly a decade while building Applied Intuition, and why most founders shouldn't do that3. The truth about China's AI capabilities and why comparisons to American companies are fundamentally flawed4. The company values that drive Applied Intuition: speed above everything, laugh a lot, half the work is follow-up, never disappoint the customer5. The biggest lessons from Qasar's stint as YC's COO, including that the most successful companies show traction very early6.

In our second episode on the Mahabharata, the great Indian epic from c. 300 BCE, we dive into what is perhaps the most famous section of it: the 700 verses that make up the Bhagavad Gita. We discuss the main points of this foundational Hindu scripture, which recounts a discussion between the warrior Arjuna and his charioteer, Krishna on the eve of an apocalyptic battle. We also discuss debates around its authorship and explore the profound influence it had on Mahatma Gandhi, who didn't read it until he was a young law student in London, when some friends he made at a vegetarian restaurant recommended it to him.

Award-winning director, producer, and writer Ruán Magan joins Irish Stew for a timely conversation ahead of his double appearance at this weekend's Solas Nua Capital Irish Film Festival, where he'll present two very different visions of Ireland on screen.Ruán reflects on a creative life that has taken him from early collaborations with his brother, writer and broadcaster Manchán Magan, through decades of boundary-pushing work that has reached audiences around the world. He talks about growing up in a family steeped in story, language, and history, and how that background propels him toward projects that dig beneath the surface of Ireland's past and present.One of his festival offerings is the new documentary “Daniel O'Connell – The Emancipator,” which marks the 250th anniversary of O'Connell's birth and revisits the life, legacy, and global impact of “The Liberator.” Ruán describes the film as “a chance to step back from today's noise and remember how one determined Irish lawyer changed the democratic DNA of the modern world,” connecting O'Connell's campaigns for Catholic Emancipation to later movements led by figures like Frederick Douglass, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr.He then turns to his Irish-language drama “Báite,” a feature that takes his fascination with Irish history and identity into more intimate, psychological territory. Ruán calls it “a story where the past seeps up through the floorboards of ordinary lives,” using the rhythms of the Irish language and the coastal landscape to explore guilt, memory, and the pull of old ghosts.Throughout the episode, Ruán shares his approach to filmmaking as “trying to make the invisible visible—whether that's buried history, an overlooked revolutionary, or the quiet truths people carry inside them.” He talks about balancing scholarship and emotion, why collaboration matters, and what keeps drawing him back to Irish subjects for a global audience.Irish Stew will be the Podcast in Residence at the Capital Irish Film Festival, Feb. 26 – Mar. 1, appearing on stage after the Friday 6:30 p.m. screening to discuss Northern Irish film with a panel of Northern Irish filmmakers.LinksSolas NuaWebsiteCapital Irish Film FestivalBáiteDaniel O'Connell: The EmancipatorRuán MaganWebsiteIMDbLinkedInIrish Stew LinksWebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 10; Total Episode Count: 151
Buenas, aquí nuestro podcast prometido. Frente al aire de discursos de división y de acciones de cruel injusticia que suceden en el mundo, exploramos la arquitectura del Apartheid en Sudáfrica: un sistema levantado sobre leyes, mitos bíblicos y un racismo que se pretendía 'científico' para invisibilizar a un pueblo. Pero también narraremos la respuesta desde la verdad y la humanidad: la dignidad organizada de figuras como Gandhi, Luthuli, Biko y Mandela. Veremos cómo la conciencia y la No violencia demostraron que ningún sistema de opresión, por sofisticado y estructurado que sea, puede apagar el espíritu de libertad. Porque del mismo sitio donde se origina la peor crueldad también puede levantarse la esperanza que ilumine al mundo. Notas del episodio: La estructura del Apartheid Una utopía nefasta: las aspiraciones puestas en el Apartheid La vida de Mahatma Gandhi en Sudáfrica John Langalibalele Dube: resistencia frente a la injusticia (en inglés) Albert Luthuli: la existencia y la lucha entregada a la No violencia El discurso de unidad de Nelson Mandela para superar el Apartheid Contactanos en: www.dianauribe.fm Sigue mis proyectos en otros lugares: YouTube ➔ youtube.com/@DianaUribefm Instagram ➔ instagram.com/dianauribe.fm Facebook ➔ facebook.com/dianauribe.fm Sitio web ➔ dianauribe.fm Twitter ➔ x.com/DianaUribefm LinkedIn ➔ www.linkedin.com/in/diana-uribe Gracias de nuevo a nuestra comunidad de patreon por apoyar la producción de este episodio.

This episode challenges the term "nonviolence," proposing that movements for social and political change often succeed by relying on the opponent's violence. We introduce the concept of sacrificial violence: the intentional absorption of an opponent's brutality to gain strategic concessions, a topic explored in the article "Nonviolence is Violence, Too: Somebody's Gotta " written by BMP host Too Black. The discussion analyzes historical actions like the Freedom Rides and the Albany Movement, drawing on the work of figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and political scientist Erica Chenoweth. It explores the idea that confronting established power inevitably results in conflict and, often, violence.

David Belden was born into a family of Oxford Group leaders and committed activists. The Group set out “to change the world” and throughout his early years David devoted himself wholeheartedly to this challenge. But while “carrying the message” in Africa, his life took an unexpected turn that led to his questioning some of principles and practices he had once taken uncritically for granted.David returned to Oxford University to write his doctoral dissertation on the Group's history, influence and shortcomings. He recently published a still more intimate account of his own journey toward personal and social transformation and change: The World Remakers' Child.This series affords a rare insider's view of the Group responsible for contributing no fewer than ten of A.A.'s Twelve Steps and yields fresh insights and challenges throughout. Mahatma Gandhi's grandson praised David's book for its “steady candor,” “humor about himself,” and “a thirst for a less harsh, more loving, and fairer world.”In this final episode Dave's early Oxford Group goal of “world changing” may have traveled full circle. It's reminiscent of the poet T.S Elliott's famous lines:We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.Show notes:David Belden's book: The World Remakers' ChildDave's Oxford University Doctoral Thesis:https://www.academia.edu/27545723/The_Origins_and_Development_of_the_Oxford_Group_Moral_Re_Armament_Dave's website: https://www.davidbelden.com/Dave doing a recent book reading at his Unitarian Universalist Church:https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=wm#inbox/QgrcJHsHpqWKvMChSdmxXjJNlDCGCJGCgHL?projector=1This Is an Uprising: How Nonviolent Revolt Is Shaping the Twenty-First Century by Paul and Mark EnglerHow 12 Step Programs Can Help Build Healthier Movementshttps://wagingnonviolence.org/2025/10/how-12-step-programs-can-help-build-healthier-movements/

Remember, Bill Wison said he derived no fewer than ten of his twelve Steps straight from his experience within the Oxford Group. They had no Steps, but they were well on their way to finding the Answer!Show notes:David Belden's book: The World Remakers' ChildDave's Oxford University Doctoral Thesis:https://www.academia.edu/27545723/The_Origins_and_Development_of_the_Oxford_Group_Moral_Re_Armament_
As we begin a new year, the Tuesday People podcast opens with a gentle but powerful reframe: what if, instead of living each day as if it were our last, we lived it as if it were our first? Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's reminder that change in the world begins with change in ourselves, host Mitch Albom invites listeners to step back into a sense of wonder—to notice, to appreciate, and to engage with life without the weight of fear or finality. Rather than focusing on what we might lose, this episode encourages us to rediscover what it means to arrive each day with curiosity, openness, and gratitude. It's a hopeful, grounding conversation about beginnings, perspective, and the quiet power of choosing how we show up—one ordinary, extraordinary day at a time. Learn more about your ad choices.
