Happy Charkha Jayanti!

gandhi-charkha-smallCharkha Jayanti, or [[charkha|Spinning Wheel]] Birthday, was how Gandhi wanted October 2nd to be remembered. The spinning wheel was at the heart of Gandhi’s [[constructive program]] to free India through self-sufficiency and economic uplift. Gandhi had preferred that rather than being used to celebrate his own image, his birthday be used as a celebration of the constructive work that he put in motion. On this Charkha Jayanti may we all honor Gandhi’s legacy by continuing the great experiment of global nonviolent change!
