Gandijeva satjagraha

Hribar, Peter (author), Osredkar, Mari Jože (author)

V prispevku predstavljamo vpliv religije na revolucionarno gibanje, ki je Indijo v prejšnjem stoletju pripeljalo do politične samostojnosti. Največ zaslug za spremembe ima Mohandas Karamchand Gandi, ki je s satjagraho brez nasilja dosegel politične spremembe. Po predstavitvi izraza satjagraha avtorja orišeta Gandijevo življenje in njegov duhovni razvoj, ki mu je omogočil nenasilno razmišljanje in delovanje. Tu so izpostavljeni viri njegove duhovnosti: Bhagavad-gita, Biblija in proza Leva Tolstoja. Prav tako pa je nanj vplivala džainistična verska praksa, predvsem načelo ahimse, ki jo je prakticirala Mohandasova mati. Prispevek se zaključi z orisom vpliva satjagrahe v Indiji in zunaj nje po Gandijevi smrti.

Abstract

In this paper, we present the influence of religion on the revolutionary movement that led India to political independence in the last century. The most credit for the changes has Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who achieved political changes through satyagraha without violence. After introducing the term satyagraha, the authors outline Gandhi's life and his spiritual development, which enabled him to think and act nonviolently. The sources of his spirituality are highlighted as the Bhagavad-gita, the Bible and Leo Tolstoy's prose. He was also influenced by Jain religious practice, especially the principle of ahimsa practiced by Mohandas' mother. The paper concludes with an outline of the influence of satyagraha in India and beyond after Gandhi's death
