GKI Exhibition at Vasant Kunj,Delhi

Gandhi-King -Ikeda, an exhibition showcasing the lives of three lives, who dedicated and are dedicating (Ikeda living) their lives to values of humanism. What is the purpose of pholosophy in guiding ones actions is the underlining theme of the exhibition. Lives compressed in moments, which have made history is what impressed me most. Also, the means to an end, i.e. the process of liberating oneself, through a proactive approach sensitive to the lives of millions is a thought that needs to be reckoned with. Ideas coupled with action and a sustained dialogue with the like-minded is a key to change. Three specific examples whcih I recall were: the rainwater harvesting initiative in Rajastahn, ban against persistent organic pollutants and green belt movement of Wangaro Mathai..all of these epitomising the initiative of change and symbolically representing street power. Well as Diasaku Ikeda says, states are important but more important are individuals. World Peace, thus has to be a bottom-up approach.
