The Gandhi, Globalization & Earth Democracy Course of 2013 has come to a close. Participants from 10 different countries for 10 days to get inspired by Gandhi Ji's teachings and actions. We were graced to have Satish Kumar Ji, Venerable Samdhong Rimpoche Ji, Dr. Madhu Suri Prakash and Dr. Vandana Shiva lead the course. Through Satish Kumar Ji, founder of Shumacher College and editor of Resurgence Magazine, we learned about the four guiding principles of Gandhi Ji's philosophy of swaraj (self-governance), swadeshi (locally production), sarvodaya (well being of all) and satyagraha (non-violent civil disobedience based on the force of truth) to create and defend people’s economic and political freedom. Dr. Madhu Suri Prakash Ji brought her perspective of educational philosophy, while Rimpoche Ji guided us through the practice and understanding of Gandhi Ji's text Hind Swaraj.  Finally, Dr. Shiva, founder and director of Navdanya, connected the philosophy to Earth Democracy and the different movements and campaigns initiated by Navdanya.
