The International Day of Non-Violence is
marked on October 2nd, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi. Being the leader of the Indian independence
movement and pioneer of the philosophy of non-violence.
The day is
an occasion to "disseminate the message of non-violence, including through
education and public awareness".
"Non-violence is the greatest force at
the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of
destruction devised by the ingenuity of man".
Gandhi’s
grandson, Arun co-authored a book with
Bethany Hegedus which describes an incident in Arun’s childhood where Arun
struggles to keep the vow to not waste.
Gandhi teaches that waste is a violent act. He has Arun create a tree of violence where
he keeps track of passive acts of violence and physical acts of violence.
