http://gandhifoundation.org/ The Gandhi Foundation exists to spread knowledge and understanding of the life and work of Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948). It aims to explain and demonstrate the continuing relevance of Gandhi’s insights and actions today.
The Gandhi Foundation promotes:
- Nonviolence to replace war and aggression
- Egalitarian economics, emphasising self-reliance, cooperation, and trusteeship
- Simple lifestyles that avoid an endless quest for more possessions and superficial experiences. This is essential to protect the planet’s resources and ecology
- Grassroots democracy that is decentralised, human-scale, and involves the active participation of everyone
- Tolerance and pluralism: Gandhi regarded different religions and philosophies as each possessing some but not the whole truth
- Respect for animals and an end to their exploitation
