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-King Prison Initiative

 

 

As part of its mission to educate people to appreciate the value of nonviolence, the potential of nonviolent action to address conflicts, the value of social responsibility, and the interconnected nature of all human experience, the Gandhi Center is sponsoring the "Gandhi-King Prison Initiative: An Essay Contest." This initiative introduces inmates to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s philosophy of nonviolence and the teachings of Mohandas K. Gandhi that influenced King's view. Contest deadline is December 5, 2008.
