    “To be great is to be misunderstood,” a famous quote written by the transcendentalist, Emerson, in Self-Reliance. Going by the nickname “Mahatma” which truly means “great soul”, Ghandi was one of the most misunderstood people in history. Ghandi is characterized as a scrawny simplistic dressed man born in 1869 in India, however he is one of the most complex and contradictory characters in all of history (McGeary). Ghandi was raised under two religious parents who practiced Hinduism, and pushed for him to become a government minister, taking after his father (Adams). Being extremely shy, Ghandi did not suit the job of being a lawyer well a fled to India (McGeary). In South Africa Ghandi was quickly discriminated upon by the white British inhabitants,…

    Civic duty never meant much to me until I involved myself in the Ro Khanna for Congress Campaign. It began with a 6 hour shift to run a booth and ended with a celebration two weeks ago for Ro’s success in winning the congressional election. I have made phone calls and knocked on people’s doors to talk about why they should vote for Ro. As my volunteer activity increased, I became my high school’s team leader for the election. My responsibilities included gathering more volunteers, contacting old ones, discussing with community members, and finding methods to increase voter turnout. As I spread awareness throughout Santa Clara about Ro, I realized how influential and beneficial he will be for those in our community. I wanted to see change and our current congressman wasn’t providing that.…

    • Annapurna is the Hindu goddess of food and cooking. Annapurna is empowered with the ability to supply food to an unlimited amount of people. Annapurna is an incarnation of the Hindu Goddess Parvati, the wife of Shiva. Temple art in India often depicts Lord Shiva with his begging bowl (skull), asking Annapurna to provide him food that gives the energy (Shakti) to achieve knowledge and enlightenment.As such, Annapurna also symbolizes the divine aspect of nourishing care.

    Who helps you through all of your conflicts? Who gets you through the day? And helps you in times of need? For the Tibetans and many other Buddhists around the world, that person is the Dalai Lama. He is followed by many people and greatly respected by many cultures. He was born into a non- wealthy, farming family and was born with the name Lhamo Thondup. At the age of two, he was sought out to see if he qualified to be the next Dalai Lama. When he was tested, he did in fact qualify and was moved into a Buddhist monastery to begin training for the position of the fourteenth Dalai Lama. I feel that the fourteenth Dalai Lama brought the most positive change to Tibet and its people because he…

    Gandhi Paper

    “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind” (Gandhi). It seems like I’ve heard this quote a million times in my lifetime, but the meaning behind it didn’t set in until now. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a world renowned political and spiritual leader and arguably one of the most influential people of all time. He pioneered ‘satyagraha’, the resistance of tyranny through non-violence and believed in and stood by this even in the most extreme circumstances. His actions not only led to Indian independence, but it sparked the civil rights movement here in America and Nelson Mandela used Gandhi’s non-violent methods to help end apartheid in South Africa. These weren’t the only situations where non-violence succeeded either, Khan Abdule Ghaffar Khan, Steve Biko, Aung San Suu Kyi and Benigno Aquino, Jr. used Gandhi’s non-violent tactics to win out over their enemies. Aquino even succeeded in freeing his Philippine people from the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos. All of these victorious situations show us that non-violence does work, but only in certain circumstances. I could be naïve and say that non-violence is a plausible solution to the world’s problems today, but I’d be lying to you and to myself as well; and in the following paragraphs I’m going to elaborate on my views.…
