American Gandhi Bernie Meyer visited Arushi and Shree Bhavan's Bharti Public School here on Monday and interacted with the students about Gandhian principles.
Bernie Meyer is popularly known as American Gandhi as he presents the insights on moral values of which the main elements are selflessness, dedication, devotion and active service to mankind. As a non-violence trainer he offered experimental exercises to students for promoting world peace and love for unity.
There was an interactive session between him and the students. Students asked him various questions like that, how he would combine Eastern wisdom with Western technology, renaissance that took place in the last 20 years, his revolutionary salt-walk, how he became inspired by Gandhiji, which Gandhian principle motivated him the most why he choose himself to be dressed like Gandhi ji, the father of our nation. He is a great follower of Mahatma Gandhi. He works on Gandhi's principles concerning the issues of today’s society.
Bernie tries to continue his experiments with truth and encourage everyone to do the same. Notably, he moves around the world for spreading the message on peace. As Gandhi, he has also traveled throughout the different countries of the world, where he is known as, ‘The American Gandhi’. "Now, more than ever, is Gandhi's message needed," says Bernie.
Notably, Bernie visited the city last year as well, as he comes to India every year to attend the International Peace, and as a part of his India’s tour he had visited the State capital too. The students were excited to meet the American Gandhi as they were experiencing the teachings of Gandhiji from a true Gandhi follower. Further, Bernie also appreciated the initiative and the efforts of Arushi for the rehabilitation work being done there for the special children.
