From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Season for Nonviolence was established in 1998 by
Arun Gandhi,
Mohandas Gandhi's grandson, as a yearly event celebrating the philosophies and lives of Mohandas Gandhi and
Martin Luther King Jr.
[1]
[2] The idea was developed with the help of Dr.
Michael Beckwith and Dr.
Mary Morrissey, of the
Association for Global New Thought and
The Parliament of The World's Religions.
[3]
[4] Before his 2023 death Arun Gandhi co-chaired the Season along with Rev. Beckwith of the
Agape International Spiritual Center.
[5]
The "season" begins with the anniversary of the
assassination of Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, ending on the April 4 anniversary of the
assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. It is anchored by a mission, statement of principles, and commitments by participants towards living in a
nonviolent way.
