Why are you interested in the Gandhi-King Community?
I am a student of Gandhi's ideals of Truth and Love. I completed a Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut in 1997, in the Philosophy of Education. The subject of the thesis was Gandhi's ecological, holistic, environmentally transformative and self-educative philosophy. Because of my age and depth of inquiry, some people say 'scholar', but, really I am a student, trying to gain insight and certainty into the ideals he lit his path to Truth within through. I lived with my small family for 12 years 1999-2011, in the MA Math, a community based upon ethical ideals, in Kerala.We are now living between Sweden and the USA. I am interested to know how people are able to apply Gandhi's ideals in their lives and activities, and the problems that they see in this regard, particularly in light of our environmental crisis.
I find that the crisis we are facing right now, as a human civilzation is an ethical crisis. Have written a book to assist in the clarification of the ideals we want to hold in order to create a humane civilization. the title is:

Earth ethics of M.K. Gandhi with Teachings from Holy Mother Amma: an Introduction

    I would like to have an open discussion /forum with you over some of your comments in your profile; more specifically how we can or are - displaying the ideals of Gandhi and other human rights advocates. Maybe we can help ourselves and others in fulfilling the obligations that come with our human rights responsibilities to our world. If this interests you, than please let me know
