Mahatma Gandhi is the most well-known Indian in the world today. His birthday on October 2nd is celebrated world over as the International day of Non-violence and is a historic milestone in humanities quest for global non-violence. Gandhi’s life was one of dedication and simplicity, and he valued non-violence and truth as the guiding principles of his life.

The main speaker, Mrs. Shobhana Radhakrishna has the background of having lived in Gandhi Ashram in Sewagram, and is on a mission to take Gandhi’s life and thoughts to people in every corner of the world and spread the message of harmony, peace and non-violence through seminar-lectures so that people put their heart into understanding Gandhi. She has dedicated her life to take socially relevant message of peace, compassion, leadership and non-violence to every corner of the world, to make people understand Mahatma Gandhi’s life, his philosophy of universal brotherhood, peace and non-violence and his Global impact.
In 2009, 2011 and 2014, on the occasion of the International Day of Non- violence she has given talks the Embassy of India in Japan and followed by a series of twenty lectures in various universities and institutions in Japan. 

This year we have confirmation for nine lectures organised by the Nippon Vedanta Kyokai, Zushi-shi, Tokyo, Keio University (Kanagawa Campus), Global India International School in Tokyo, Sophia University, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Kansai University, Tsukuba University, Hojin Ongaku No Mori  (NPO) in Nara, Osaka University (Toyonaka campus) and Hiroshima University from 16th April to 26th April, 2017. These lectures have become central to re-emphasise Gandhi’s message of Peace, compassion, leadership and Non-Violence.


The aim of the lectures is to promote better understanding in people of Japan, about Mahatma Gandhi, his work, philosophy and thoughts. It brings the Mahatma to vivid life so as to re-inspire the current generation to engage in International Peace, Tolerance and Non-Violence. Though  in the 21st century, we are facing with a different set of tasks than those of Gandhiji's era, nevertheless it is still highly significant for us to carry on his efforts towards peace, national independence and social progress. This is why one should remember Gandhi ji in the present world. It is well known fact that Mahatma Gandhi’s thought and life can guide the people in any part of the world as it has the strength to inspire and bring about a change.
