The Wisdom of Gandhi

"I had never thought of Gandhi as a man with human frailties just like the rest of us - that he grew up with fears as a child, that he was married and listened to the advice of his wife. He grew into his beliefs and way of life through his spiritual practice. From his example, I know I can make a difference too." --Bonnie Chappa, series participant

 

A seven-week study series that highlights Mahatma Gandhi's spiritual practice to make nonviolence a force in everyday life

 

It is our joy and privilege to offer The Wisdom of Gandhi series as a freewill gift to our fellow Unity and New Thought churches nationally.

The Gandhi series, which we wrote in 1999, became the most popular seven-week program ever offered at Unity of the Valley. We hope that every person touched by this series will be inspired by Gandhi's selfless example to pursue a higher level of spiritual living.

"The Wisdom of Gandhi series is a transforming experience. Use of the signed affirmations, added to the weekly lesson, anchored in me spiritual principles necessary to wholeness and reinforced my understanding that peace and nonviolence in our world begin with me. I am blessed and grateful to have shared in Gandhi's teachings in this unique way." --Mary Ellen Avis, series participant
