Gandhi Journal Article-III (January 2016) A man who lives without money

Gandhi Journal Article-III (January 2016)

A man who lives without money

Mark Boyle
Think you couldn’t live without money? Irishman Mark Boyle challenged this notion and here’s how he finds life with no financial income, bank balance, and no spending.

“If someone told me seven years ago, in my final year of a business and economics degree, that I’d now be living without money, I’d have probably choked on my microwaved ready meal.”According to Boyle, the plan back then was to ‘get a good job’, make as much money as possible, and buy the stuff that would show society he was successful.

Gandhi Journal Article-II (January 2016) : Khadi : A Cloth and Beyond

Gandhi Journal Article-II (January 2016) : Khadi : A Cloth and Beyond

By Ektaa Jain

Gandhi Journal Article-I (January 2016) : Taking up Sarvodaya as our duty

Gandhi Journal Article-I (January 2016) : Taking up Sarvodaya as our duty

By Balamurali Balaji  
Gandhiji's concept of Sarvodaya is the superset of Antyodaya, what one has to expect from Sarvodaya. While Antyodaya sets the scene for the downtrodden, Sarvodaya creates wealth for the common good of the all. A society, community, a neighbourhood or the whole state can benefit from the principles of Sarvodaya.

Sarvodaya is not an illusion or hallucination, for it contains Antyodaya, an aspect that needs to be realized by every individual, rich or poor.

It is a social philosophy that characterizes a synthesis between the needs, urges and aspirations of the individual and of the society of which the individual is an inseparable and indivisible part.  He called it sarvodaya - the rise and well-being of all.1 Sarvodaya is a learning process for those who do not know about it. It is an approach for those who seeks to solve the problems; a solution for a self-contained person. It is wisdom for those who searches for knowledge; a tool for those who put their beliefs in its methods and principles.
