Vinoba Bhave - Latest News Update, Information, Photos & Videos on Vinoba Bhave at Lokmat Times

The Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti, the Gandhi Peace Mission and the All India Harijan Sevak Sangh along with other organisations, here on Thursday, announced the plan, which included designating August 23 the day when Vinoba Bhave launched it in 1957 as Shanti Sena Diwas.The idea of brigade, Gandhi's answer to the problem of violence and disharmony, was to be taken up on February 8, 1948 at Wardha. But Gandhi was assassinated just few days before on 30 January 1948.The initiative to remember Gandhi's efforts in his 150th birth year, also involves a two-day conference, starting on August 23, at Manjeswaram, a border town between Karnataka and Kerala, where Vinoba Bhave launched the Shanti Sena.The idea behind the revival of Shanti Sena is to make the youth pledge against "hatred, killing, and violence" and to pledge allegiance to Gandhian principles of non-violence, peace and sacrifice.Gandhi Smriti Director Dipankar Sri Gyan said the structural violence many Ind were complaining against was not the guiding force behind the initiative. It was planned to be a peace movement, he added.According to the representatives of these Gandhian organisations, a trained brigade of youth will form part of the Shanti Sena. Training centres would be set up at seven places, including Delhi, Madurai, Ahmedabad, Gandhigram, Sodepur and Manjeswaram, to train the youth in "non-violent conflict management, non-killing initiatives, non-violent communication strategies" among others.The training will seek to correct the "moral and spiritual value" depletion in India's youth with a focus on social justice and harmony, N. Radhakrishnan, Chairman of the Gandhi Peace Mission, told . It will also focus on inculcating positive attitudes on water conservation and hygiene and sanitation.( With inputs from IANS )
