Shobhana Radhakrishna: Gandhi Lecture |
Having the fortune of spending a part of her life in Gandhiji’s Sevagram Ashram, Wardha in India, Shobhana Radhakrishna is on a mission to spread the socially relevant messages of Mahatma Gandhi on peace, non-violence, satyagraha, universal brotherhood, unity and harmony to every corner of the world, which she present in the form of short lectures. Gandhiji’s life was one of dedication and simplicity, and he valued ahimsa and truth as the guiding principles of his life. Like Sant Kabir, Gandhiji also followed the inner voice that guided him throughout his life and could justifiably say to the world that ‘My Life is My Message’.
