The Season for Nonviolence is a global grassroots campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the transformative power of nonviolence. The Season was established by Arun Gandhi as a yearly event celebrating the philosophies and lives of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. The Season marks the 64 calendar days between the memorial anniversary of the assassination of Gandhi on January 30 and King on April 4.
“Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. which cuts without wounding and ennobles the one who wields it. It is a sword that heals.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
"Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being." - Mahatma Gandhi
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, today I behold true love in the hearts and lives of my friends and my adversaries. I seek today to not make myself right and others wrong, but to see us all as whole, as expressions of the one life of God. Thank you, Spirit, forever, Amen.
