Many of them were given in to 520 A.D.). the purans or puran-khandas of late origin, while some others were transmited orally through generations. Thus, epographic references allude to the prevalence, of th goddess-temples in Gujarat since 6 cent.A.D. The prevalence of shakti-worship in Gujarat probably received an impetus from Devi-mahatmya given in The evidence of sculptural remains in the form of Markandeya Puran. The origin of the worship of the Goddeess goddesses leads us to trace the antiquity of Shakti worship in in Gujarat can be traced to the primitive tribe of the Bhils and Gujarat still earlier.

  • Gandhi Wields the Weapon of Moral Power (Three Case Stories)
    Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power (Three Case Stories) By Gene Sharp Foreword by: Dr. Albert Einstein First Published: September 1960 Printed & Published by: Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) Phone: 079 – 27540635 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.navajivantrust.org Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power FOREWORD By Dr. Albert Einstein This book reports facts and nothing but facts — facts which have all been published before. And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".

Evidence of neolithic habitation dating as far back as 7000 BC has been found in Mehrgarh in Baluchistan. However, the first notable civilization flourished in India around 2700 BC in the north western part of the Indian subcontinent, covering a large area. The civilization is referred to as the Harappan civilization. Most of the sites of this civilization developed on the banks of Indus, Ghaggar and its tributaries. Architecture The excavations at Harappa and Mohenjodaro and several other sites of the Indus Valley Civilisation revealed the existence of a very modern urban civilisation with expert town planning and engineering skills. The very advanced drainage system along with well planned roads and houses show that a sophisticated and highly evolved culture existed in India before the coming of the Aryans.

The matter, as is well known, has come from diverse sources—State Departments of Archaeology, Universities, museums, research institutions and laboratories and the various offices of the Archaeological Survey of India—and I gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of all those whose contributions have been incorporated here.

  • Join Us As We Cycle Mahatma Gandhi's Famous Salt March Route
    CYCLE THE SALT RIDE Join us as we cycle Mahatma Gandhi’s famous Salt March route from Ahmedabad to Dandi THE DANDI RETREAT 17th to 22nd December 2019 Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi Beach Thirty-five years before Dr. Martin Luther King marched from Selma to Montgomery, a 60-year-old Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi led dozens of his followers on a 384 km journey from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, a small village on the Arabian Sea, to protest British rule. Leaning on a long walking stick and dressed as always in modest homespun clothes, Gandhi hoped to bring worldwide attention to the growing Indian independence movement by highlighting the injustice of Britain’s colonial salt laws, which forbid Indians from producing or selling their own salt. The Salt March, also known as the Dandi March or the Salt Satyagra- ha, began on March 12, 1930, near Gandhi’s religious retreat in Sabar- mati Ashram, and proceeded some 384 km southward over 24 days toward the coastal village of Dandi, where a crowd of thousands watched as Gandhi and his followers deliberately broke the law by evaporating seawater to make their own salt. Go Dharmic will be celebrating the completion of 50 libraries for underprivileged children and also launching the campaign to plant 1 million trees. Join us on the 16th of December 2019 to raise awareness for the vast array of issues facing our environment by riding the route of Mahatma Gandhi’s famous salt march. We will cycle from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad to Dandi Beach and make a stand for our planet and raise funds for Go Dharmic and its campaigns.
