From the Lips of the Mahatma ... Part 5 ...


Gandhi was once asked what he thought of Western Civilization ... His answer was simple, short and brilliant.

"I think it would be a good idea!" said the Mahatma ...

With Global Warming, rampant pollution, ehtnic battles, unending war and conflict, record levels of poverty, the HIV/AIDS crisis, and an ever lengthening list of burdens weighing humanity down in its journey ... one could seriously muse that Gandhi had a point and Western and Civilization are mutually exclusive phrases ...

Maybe one day we'll have the vision and the courage to listen ...
