4.பெருமையிலும் தாழ்மை: ரவீந்திரநாத் தாகூரால் "மகாத்மா" என அழைக்கப்பட்டாலும், காந்தி தன்னை "அல்பாத்மா" என தாழ்மையாகக் குறிப்பிட்டார்.
5.மூலவாதங்களுக்கு உறுதிபாடு: பொது கருத்தோ தனிப்பட்ட பாதுகாப்போ கூட காந்தியி��் சத்தியத்திற்கும் அஹிம்சைக்கும் எதிராக செல்லவில்லை.
6.உள் வலிமையால் வெற்றி: உடல் மற்றும் அறிவின் சக்தியை விட உள் வலிமை (ஆன்மா பலம்) முக்கியமானது என்பதை காந்தி தெளிவாக எடுத்துரைத்தார்.
7.எளிமையின் வலிமை: எளிமையை ஏற்றுக்கொண்டு, காந்தி உண்மையான வலிமை தாழ்மை மற்றும் எளிமையிலிருந்து வருகிறது என்பதை காட்டினார்.
8.சாதாரண மனிதர், மிகுந்த தலைவர்: ஒரு சாதாரண மனிதராக இருந்த காந்தி, எளிய ஆனால் ஆற்றல்மிக்க செயல்களின் மூலம் இலட்சக்கணக்கானவர்களைத் தொற்றிக் கொண்டார்.

12.உப்புப் போராட்டத்தின் தாக்கம்: உப்புப் போராட்டத்தின் மூலம் காந்தி, எளிமையான செயல்கள் நம்பிக்கையுடன் செய்யப்பட்டால் பேரரசுகளைச் சவால் செய்ய முடியும் என்பதைக் காட்டினார்.
13.சுதந்திரத்திற்கு அப்பாற்பட்ட காந்தியின் காட்சி: சுதந்திரத்துக்கு மட்டுமல்லாமல், ஒற்றுமையுடனும் முன்னேற்றத்துடனும் வாழும் ஒரு நாட்டை காந்தி கனவு கண்டார்.
14.சத்தியத்தின் சோதனை: தனது வாழ்க்கையை சத்தியம் என்ற பரிசோதனையாகக் கணித்து, காந்தி பிறரிடமும் நேர்மையாக வாழ்ந்து காட்டினார்.

17.முன்னாள் மற்றும் எதிரிகளை மதித்தவர்: எதிரிகள் கூட காந்தியை மதித்தனர், நெடாஜி சுபாஷ் சந்திர போஸ் அவரை தேசத்தின் தந்தை எனப் போற்றினார்.

Today Is…International Day of Peace
It is hard to think of a much more peaceful man than Mahatma Gandhi and it’s probably hard to think of a much more unpeaceful man than Adolf Hitler but no prizes for guessing which of these two was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Common thinking is that it was the war he started that killed millions that did it for him in 1939. So close Adolf.If you watch the news or read a newspaper you will…

“History is highlighted by turning points, moments of brilliance in the journey of humanity, episodes that changed civilization. These junctures often took place at times of great tragedy, during wars, famines, plagues, and revolution. Because at precisely those times, when the worst of human depravity became evident, we also witnessed the emergence of some of our greatest humanitarians, those who withstood opposition with grace and wisdom.
As steel is forged in a blast furnace, the best in humanity can only arise out of its cruelest chapters. Oskar Schindler, a Nazi, gave away all his wealth to safeguard vulnerable Jewish people out of harm’s way, away from the gas chambers. Oskar devoted his life at significant personal risk to saving others less fortunate; this is perhaps the fundamental principle of humanity.
Mohandas Gandhi raised a family as a successful lawyer in South Africa yet chose to return to India to stop genocide. He traded a life of comfort for one of fasting, nonviolent protests, and personal risk. An assassin's bullet took his life in 1948, but not before he had spent 78 years on the planet and changed it forever. He is revered by many as the Father of India. His nonviolent protests to further social change inspired others to do the same, like Martin Luther King Jr, Robert Kennedy, and Nelson Mandela.
Nelson Mandela paid his price of tribulation with 27 years in a prison cell, one without a bed or plumbing. He spent his days breaking rocks and his free time writing. His manuscripts were scrutinized, restricted, censored, or destroyed. Nonetheless, he smuggled out a 500-page autobiography in 1976 and led a protest movement for prison rights.
This expanded into the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. Out of Mandela's great suffering arose the principle of racial equality for South Africa, where he would ultimately be elected its first president. He remains affectionately known today as Madiba and is widely regarded as the Father of the Nation. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for his nonviolent protests that proved victorious in ending the apartheid regime.
Dr. Tess Lawrie is a world-class researcher and consultant to the World Health Organization. Her biggest clients happen to be those who are involved in the suppression of repurposed drugs. She has decided to speak out in protest against the current medical establishment at considerable personal risk.
She co-founded the BIRD panel, an international group of experts dedicated to the transparent and accurate scientific research of Ivermectin. On April 24, 2021, she convened the International Ivermectin for COVID Conference, the first such symposium in the world held to focus on Ivermectin to prevent and treat COVID-19.
During the conference, she delivered a monumental closing address, one that will be recorded in the annals of medical history.
"They who design the trials and control the data also control the outcome. So, this system of industry-led trials needs to be put to an end. Data from ongoing and future trials of novel COVID treatments must be independently controlled and analyzed. Anything less than total transparency cannot be trusted."
Dr. Lawrie called for reform of the method used to analyze scientific evidence.
She reported, "The story of Ivermectin has highlighted that we are at a remarkable juncture in medical history. The tools that we use to heal and our connection with our patients are being systematically undermined by relentless disinformation stemming from corporate greed. The story of Ivermectin shows that we as a public have misplaced our trust in the authorities and have underestimated the extent to which money and power corrupts.
Had Ivermectin being employed in 2020 when medical colleagues around the world first alerted the authorities to its efficacy, millions of lives could have been saved, and the pandemic with all its associated suffering and loss brought to a rapid and timely end."
Dr. Lawrie called out the corruption of modern medicine by Big Pharma and other interests.
She went on, "Since then, hundreds of millions of people have been involved in the largest medical experiment in human history. Mass vaccination was an unproven novel therapy. Hundreds of billions will be made by Big Pharma and paid for by the public. With politicians and other nonmedical individuals dictating to us what we are allowed to prescribe to the ill, we as doctors, have been put in a position such that our ability to uphold the Hippocratic oath is under attack.
At this fateful juncture, we must therefore choose, will we continue to be held ransom by corrupt organizations, health authorities, Big Pharma, and billionaire sociopaths, or will we do our moral and professional duty to do no harm and always do the best for those in our care? The latter includes urgently reaching out to colleagues around the world to discuss which of our tried and tested safe older medicines can be used against COVID."
Finally, Dr. Lawrie suggested that physicians form a new World Health Organization that represents the interests of the people, not corporations and billionaires, a people-centered organization.
"Never before has our role as doctors been so important because never before have we become complicit in causing so much harm."
Dr. Albert Schweitzer would be proud. A Nobel laureate from 1952, Dr. Schweitzer won the Nobel Prize not for his work as a renowned medical missionary physician, but "for his altruism, reverence for life, and tireless humanitarian work which has helped make the idea of brotherhood between men and nations a living one."
While Mandela and King fought for equality in human rights, Dr. Schweitzer is most remembered for his principle of the ethic of "reverence for life."
Schweitzer wrote, "Ethics is nothing other than reverence for life. Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists of maintaining, assisting, and enhancing life, and to destroy, harm or hinder life is evil."
Dr. Tess Lawrie knows that scientifically, Ivermectin saves lives. But moreover, she knows beyond any doubt that corruption has prevented Ivermectin from saving millions, caused untold suffering and horror, and a human economic toll of unimaginable proportions.
Out of this Pandemic have risen the true healers, those physicians who will be forever revered for risking their careers to save lives. When they could have remained silent and allowed the pandemic to take its course without rocking the boat, they chose to act.
Dr. George Fareed, Dr. Harvey Risch, and Dr. Peter McCullough traveled to the US Capitol and addressed the US Senate on November 19, 2020 and pleaded for the FDA and NIH to institute early outpatient treatment. They warned of the surge in deaths that would come. No answer. However, now during the current deadly second surge in India, on April 22, the Indian Council of Medical Research has just adopted Ivermectin and Budesonide for early outpatient therapy.
So why couldn’t the US have done the same and heed the advice of Fareed and others, and with the stroke of a pen in November accord Ivermectin Emergency Use Authorization? Fully 300,000 lives could have been saved.
These physicians are the pandemic humanitarians; to Dr. George Fareed, who stood up to Dr. Anthony Fauci; to Dr. Brian Tyson, who borrowed $250,000 in a personal loan to save the Imperial Valley; and to Dr. Harvey Risch, who risked his professorship at Yale to speak out; to Dr. Peter McCullough of Texas, who authored the first study on early outpatient treatment; to Dr. Pierre Kory, who put his career on the line, to Dr. Tess Lawrie, physician, humanitarian, and reformer, who is leading the path to victory over the pandemic, a beacon of hope for human rights and the conscience of medicine.”
Signed,
Justus R. Hope, MD

🕊 非常純淨平安的歌聲,簡單樸實而不華麗…但我覺得祂卻能讓現在這悲慘又破碎不堪的世界得到些許安慰與緩衝。 A very pure and peaceful song, moving and simple but not gorgeous… that I think it can bring some comfort to ease up this miserable and broken world. - Lan~* *The choir from 天主教台北總教區 Catholic Of Taipei Archdiocese/Taiwan
真福八端
耶穌說: 「神貧的人是有福的,因為天國是他們的。 哀慟的人是有福的,因為他們要受安慰。 溫良的人是有福的,因為他們要承受土地。 飢渴慕義的人是有福的,因為他們要得飽飫。 憐憫人的人是有福的,因為他們要受憐憫。 心裏潔淨的人是有福的,因為他們要看見天主。 締造和平的人是有福的,因為他們要稱為天主的子女。 為義而受迫害的人是有福的,因為天國是他們的。 幾時人為了我而辱罵迫害你們,捏造一切壞話毀謗你們,你們是有福的。你們歡喜踴躍罷!因為你們在天上的賞報是豐厚的,因為在你們以前的先知,人也曾這樣迫害過他們。」
he taught them, saying: Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

Post # 101
The most significant will ever written!
Alfred Bernhard Nobel was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1833. He grew up to become a prolific inventor and businessman. He held 355 patents.
In 1866, he invented Dynamite and a year later, he patented it. Dynamite turned out to be his most famous and lucrative invention, used by the construction industry, for mining and in wars - all over the world.
He also owned many companies. One chemical company that he bought and converted into a armaments manufacturer was called Bofors. This company, decades later, would go on to topple the government of the largest democracy on earth!
Net-net, he was successful, wealthy and famous! But there was a twist in his tale, as per legend.
In 1888, his brother Ludwig Nobel, died in Cannes, France. In a case of pathetic journalism, a newspaper printed an obituary of Alfred Nobel instead of Ludwig, and called him a "merchant of death", who amassed his fortune by killing people.
Note: Some other reports refute this legend. But this story is generally accepted as true.
This misfortune of having to see his own obituary and that too in such derogatory terms, forced Alfred Nobel to reconsider the legacy he wanted to leave behind.
After much introspection, on November 27, 1895, he went to the Swedish Norwegian Club in Paris, sat down at a writing desk, which is still there, and wrote his last will and testament.
Over four pages, he set out what he wanted to give to his relatives- he had no children - and to his staff. He asked that the rest of his estate be invested into a fund, the interest on which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who shall have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind.
The interest was to be divided into five equal parts- Physics, Chemistry, Medicine & Literature, and, finally, one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work resulting in world peace. Thus were born the most prestigious prizes in the world - The Nobel prizes.
Alfred Nobel gave away 94% of his wealth, which at that time was a massive 31 million Swedish Kronor, more than 1.5 million pounds.
So, naturally, when the will was read after his death, an year later in 1896, it was met with enormous resistance. His relatives were shocked. The Swedish royal family condemned him for being unpatriotic by setting up an International prize fund rather than rewarding Swedes only. His staff was outraged by the enormous costs of such an operation.
His 25-year-old assistant, Ragnar Sohlman, was entrusted with executing Nobel’s wishes. Solhman raced around Paris in a horse-drawn carriage, collecting cash, papers and bonds from different banks. He packed everything into boxes and shipped it to Sweden, as registered luggage. Back in Sweden, he began slowly to sell Nobel’s shares, so the companies he had been invested in didn’t crash. It took 5 years. The first Nobel prizes were awarded in 1901.
And so it came to pass that the most coveted and prestigious prizes on earth were born as a result of bad journalism and existential guilt.
In 1968, the Central bank of Sweden commemorated its 300th anniversary by donating a large sum of money to the Nobel Foundation for a sixth prize - in Economics. This prize was officially called - Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
Now that's what's I call a will!!! Eh?
Do you know?
According to the Nobel peace prize committee, the most deserving person not to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize was - Mahatma Gandhi.
Gandhiji was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize five times - in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 and 1948. It is widely believed that in 1948, he would have got the award. But he was assassinated shortly after his nomination. So in 1948, the Nobel Committee declined to award the prize to anybody, on the ground that "there was no suitable living candidate" that year.
In 1989, when the Dalai Lama was awarded the Peace Prize, the chairman of the committee said that this was "in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi."
In 2006, the Secretary of Nobel Peace Committee said, "The greatest omission in our 106-year history is undoubtedly that Mahatma Gandhi never received the Nobel Peace prize. Gandhi could do without the Nobel Peace prize, whether Nobel committee can do without Gandhi is the question."

Martin Luther King Jr.’s Biography:
Martin Luther King Jr.
“ I say to you today, my friends that in spite of difficulties and frustrations of the movement, I Still Have A Dream”
A great Baptist, and civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. Martin was renowned by his ‘ I have a dream’ speech.
An American Pastor Martin Luther King Sr. married Alberta Williams king, and had four children. One of them was Martin Luther King Jr. King was extraordinarily close to his grandmother, and the prof to that is that when she passed away in 1940 the young King attempted suicide by trying to jump from a two story building, but thankfully he was saved.
Martin was so gifted that he skipped two grades in high school. King went to Booker T. Washington high school, but he went to Morehouse college in his native city of Atlanta.
King graduated from Morehouse college in 1948. Later on in 1951 he got his divinity degree, and after that he married Coretta Scott (An American author ). Later they would have four children named Yolanda, Martin, Dexter, and Bernice.
All this started with the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The Montgomery Bus boycott started when a very famous civil rights activist named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man, and ended up in jail. Parks had to spend the whole night in jail. You must be thinking how King helped in the Boycott. Well.. King participated in arranging public transportation in Montgomery. There was so much discrimination, and prejudice that Martin got arrested because of his act. Not only that King’s house was also bombed. That did not stop King’s dream of a colorblind society.
He and his party in 1959 had a trip to India. This was not an official meeting, or trip, but it was just to honor Mohandas Gandhi and his tactics of raising your voice for your rights without violence and brutality. In 1960 he and his family moved to their native city of Atlanta. And Surprisingly Martin won a Nobel peace prize.
From 1960-1965 this was the Golden era for Martin’s movement, because in these years like about 1963 an international assembly of 200,000 people gathered to fight for equal rights for everyone in America, but unfortunately things weren’t looking good in Los Angeles as riots took place.
King accepted one of his famous lines which were “ I am frankly tired of marching , I am tired of going to jail, living everyday under the threat of death. I feel discouraged now, and then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again.” Shortly about one year later King was assassinated while standing in his balcony of Lorraine Motel, by James Earl in 1968.
King’s ‘ I have a dream speech still inspires many to this date. America has 730 streets which were named after him. From a suicide attempting kid to Martin Luther King Jr. became a role model for kids of our generation.
‘ If you can’t fly , then run
If you can’t run, then walk
If you can’t walk then crawl
l But by all means keep moving ‘
-Martin Luther King Jr.

Following in the footsteps of an iconic leader
All across the magnificent nation of South Africa, are written tales of freedom and lessons of liberty. Nelson Mandela, an influential political leader who went on to become the first non-white president in South African history, was at the forefront of this freedom struggle. From serving 27 years in prison to working as a philanthropist, his life was legendary, to say the least. The 'Gandhi of the African continent has received, and rightfully so, more than 250 honours including The Nobel Peace Prize and the Bharat Ratna. The Rainbow Nation continues to celebrate his life 104 years later, and encourages residents and visitors to do the same through art, culture, sports, heritage, and more importantly, social inclusion. As the world honours this great revolutionary every 18th of July, by commemorating International Mandela Day, history and travel buffs can follow in Mandela's footsteps by participating in the below tours. Each of these tours offers deeper insights into the life and times of Nelson Mandela, who is a testament to the power of the human spirit. Madiba, as he is fondly known, showcases the ability of a single individual to change the course of history with grit, determination, and standing up for what is right. Robben Island Nelson Mandela spent 18 immensely challenging years in prison on this little island situated off the coast of Cape Town and yet emerged from it filled with forgiveness instead of hatred. Robben Island is now a World Heritage site and museum. Although from the 17th to the 20th century the island was a place of imprisonment - today it is a beacon of hope and a place where visitors can gain some insight into the life and times of Nelson Mandela and fellow freedom fighters. Apartheid Museum Apartheid - a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination, had infiltrated every nerve of the country. These dogmas (or the resistance towards them) helped shape Mandela's entire life and nowhere can you get a better grip on what transpired during the proceeding struggle than at the Apartheid Museum, situated south of Johannesburg. The Apartheid Museum opened in 2001 and is acknowledged throughout the world for its illustrious display of the rise and fall of Apartheid. Allow yourself at least a couple of hours to soak it all in, and get over an emotional yet interactive and informative visit. Capture Site This site has enormous significance in the history of the freedom struggle because it was here that, after 17 months if evading the apartheid authorities, Nelson Mandela was arrested. On 5th August 1962, the police flagged down a car driven by Nelson Mandela in a chauffer's uniform while he was returning from a secret meeting with the African National Congress president - this incident would go on to shape the future of an entire country. To mark the historic spot is a sculpture comprising 50 steel rods, that align to create a magnificent portrait of Mandela. Mandela House Situated in Vilakazi Street, the humble home Mandela moved into in 1946, the Mandela House gives visitors great insight into the Mandela family. "It was the opposite of grand," he wrote in his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, "but it was my first true home of my own and I was mightily proud." The house is filled with memorabilia about the family, complete with photographs and visuals, and is a fitting tribute to the incredible struggle for freedom. Vilakazi Street is usually flooded with visitors wanting a glimpse into the home of the great Madiba - hence getting an early start to this place might be a good idea. Read the full article

[T]he mass publics that classic nonviolence relied on have been reconstituted by shifts in the nature of mass media. Once again, hegemonic forces have done quite well in foreclosing the opportunities successfully exploited by previous generations. Modern images analogous to those of My Lai are scant when journalists must choose between ‘embedded’ reporting and being shot. The only exceptions are occasional internal leaks carried out with great courage in the certainty of terrible reprisal: Chelsea Manning, rather than receiving the Gandhi Peace Prize, as Daniel Ellsberg did for his leak of the Pentagon Papers, instead gets solitary confinement, pain-compliance holds, and a thirty-year prison sentence; Edward Snowden, as of this writing, waits in uneasy exile, likely facing worse than Manning if he is extradited. These are precisely the acts which, a generation ago, won accolades for Ellsberg and for the courageous exercise of free press powers by the Washington Post and the New York Times. Coverage of domestic dissent has followed suit; nearly all media outlets are owned by the same few parent companies that set their editorial policy, with disastrous consequences for breadth of permissible dialogue on domestic issues. Mass media in the neoliberal era works to hide rather than publicize the present-day Little Rocks and other forms of state and racist violence. The highest rate of incarceration in world history, with a total of seven million citizens under correctional supervision; daily killings of African Americans by police (one African American death at the hands of police and vigilantes every 28 hours); daily deaths by enforced exposure along the United States–Mexico border—all have been rendered invisible to the public eye by near-absolute exclusion from mass media coverage, at least until the limited successes of Black Lives Matter and more local movements.
