Gandhi Center logo

The Gandhi Center logo includes a spiral form. The spiral is one of the most basic shapes found in nature and one of the most ancient symbols of growth, change, and transformation. For the Gandhi Center it evokes the processes that lead outward, onward, and upward from conflict toward creativity and harmony.

Gandhi Statue

 

 

The Government of India has presented a (larger than life-size) bronze statue of Mahatma Gandhi as a gift to James Madison University in recognition of the work of the Gandhi Center. Renowned Indian artist Mr. Gautam Pal has sculpted the statue. The statue will be unveiled and dedicated on October 2, 2008, the International Day of Nonviolence and birth anniversary of the Mahatma. The statue is the first of the Mahatma Gandhi that will be dedicated in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the second at an educational institution in the United States.
