On 28th September 2019, more than 300 participants attended the first of a series of nation wide events in Brazil to commemorate 150 Years of Gandhi. The event held in Cuiabá (Brazil) addressed topics such as tolerance, friendship, non-violence and other human ideals. “Gandhi defended the truth above all things and lived the true concept of eclecticism, sought the best of all religions and was totally consistent with what he thought and said”, said the speaker and philosopher, Lúcia Helena Galvão. “Violence has always been part of the history of humanity and will only be fought when we see it inside each of us. Are we aware of the violence we ourselves are cultivating? What are we doing to eliminate it from our own heart?”, she questioned.
