INTERNATIONAL DAY OF NON-VIOLENCE


The combined efforts of Iran's Nobel Laureate Shirin Ebadi and the government of India from 2004 bore fruit as UNGA in 2007 declared Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary as International Day of Non-Violence...

Gandhi believed that non-violence is the weapon of the strong, a force of love capable of putting even the powers of an atom bomb into shade...

Non-violence has been in existence since long as an ideology. It could be said of Gandhi that here came a person, after the tumultuously violent 18th and 19th centuries, to stand up against tyranny and restore faith in humanity, beginning with his crusade against apartheid in South Africa followed by the Indian independence movement...

Essentially based on the spirituality of man, the principle of non-violence is the core of all preachings of all faiths, an attitude of courage to being righteous in the interests of truth and justice, without causing hurt to others...

When one stands for the beautiful truth, one pursues the divine. Be adherent to this, and everything would fall into place. Neither fret and fume, nor get unduly carried away by the happenings around. For no one has got out of this place alive...

Give peace all the chances possible. In general, one would find three types of people - those who helped, who left, and those who put you in difficult times. Increase the first, minimize the second and eliminate the last. The ultimate goal of human progress is the reverent recognition of the Creator and respecting the existence of everything in this universe...

The ignorant sneer at non-violence, the intelligent admire it, while great souls practise it in the earnest hope to leave the world a little better than what they had inherited...

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF NON-VIOLENCE  🕊🕊 🌍

🙏🙏

FLAWED PRINCIPLE

It is International Self-Care Day today, and yet another 24th, marking 17 months of conflict in Eastern Europe. With t he Kerch Strait bridge suffering yet another damage last week and Russia, almost reflexly, putting brakes on the hitherto 'food-prices stabilizing' Black Sea grain deal followed by strikes on Odesa, fresh dark clouds of hunger loom large on several dependent nations... With much water having flown under the 'David-Goliath' bridge, one wonders whether peace would ever be given a chance, since such moves of hope are hardly visible over the horizon... While it is said that everything that begins has to end, b e it lives, an event, a thought, an article, anything, but perhaps war not so easily; not unprecedented either. Yes, it could end after a certain length of time, anybody's guess, but in this context one would now certainly ask as to 'at what cost?'... No constituent of nature works on a principle of profit excep...

WORLD BRAIN DAY

22nd of July is observed as World Brain Day since 2014. The day was chosen during the 21st World Congress of Neurology held in Vienna on September 22, 2013 under the aegis of World Federation of Neurology, which incidentally was also formed on 22 July, in 1957... The day aims to educate people regarding brain health, to help people afflicted with neurological disorders, and to the furtherance of research and advances in therapies and prevention... The theme for 2023 is - "Brain Health and Disability: Leave No One Behind"... Brain, a conglomeration of nerve filaments and connections, which if untangled would measure a distance of around 60 kilometers, plays a pivotal role in all aspects of our intellect, thoughts and response... About ten trillion connections thus help us see, register, read, write, speak, learn, think, analyze, move etc. to face the challenges thrown at us on a daily basis at all levels, irrespective of age, race, gender, nationality and soci...

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF RADIOLOGY

November 8th is observed as International Day Of Radiology as a tribute to the great German scientist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen for his discovery of X-Rays in 1895.. The 1845 born Nobel Laureate of 1901, Röntgen majored in Physics and completed his PhD at the University of Zurich.. Discovering X-rays accidentally while using cathode rays for images of his wife’s hand, which depicted the bones and the wedding ring, Röntgen had made a giant leap for mankind in medical diagnosis.. International Day of Radiology (IDoR) was first celebrated in the year 2012 with the combined efforts of the European Society of Radiology (ESR), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), and the American College of Radiology (ACR).. The ESR began the European Day of Radiology on February 10th, 2011, but soon it was replaced by the International Radiology Day, along with the decision to change the date to November 8th, commemorating the day of Röntgen's discovery.. The theme for 2024 is - “R...
