“Non-violence and peace are a celebration of our consciousness to honour life and creation. This celebration of our consciousness should be translated into the objective of a people’s movement for cleaning the human mind of violence and protecting the environment from pollution. This celebration is a universal message that goes beyond the social, political and religious divisions.
“Non-violence means much more than just the lack of violence. Non-violence is also action and introspection. It is the courage of truth with love. It is the reawakening of the spirit in harmony with nature and environment and all forms of life.
“Violence is pollution and pollution is violence.
“The hand spun and hand woven cloth called khadi is a thread of creation. Being a source of bread and beauty to millions in India, a hand spinning wheel is also a meditational therapy. The world again needs to get acquainted with the fabulous texture of the handspun fabric and the hand spinning wheel.”
Tara has been working for the welfare of the spinners and the weavers of khadi.
