Mahatma Gandhi Greeting Cards from Gandhiserve Foundation (www.gandhiserve.com)

In my collection i have Mahatma Gandhi Greetings Cards set of 8 Greeting Cards published by Gandhiserve Foundation.(www.gandhiserve.com)

****************

GandhiServe, a charitable foundation registered in Germany, aims to spread the ethics of nonviolence by disseminating information about and popularizing Mahatma Gandhi's life and works.

GandhiServe Foundation hopes to help alleviate conflicts and inspire others through making available media and resources on Gandhi's life and thoughts.

We believe firmly that Gandhi's message of truth, love and nonviolence is still relevant today. Or even more relevant than ever before, considering the ecological catastrophy we're facing, and the increase of different forms of violence in both personal and public life. The ethics of nonviolence, as practised and cultivated by Mahatma Gandhi, live on, regardless of national or political boundaries.
"My particular respect to your foundation and its work in the spirit of Gandhi, whose thoughts and deeds are of burning topicality."
- Richard von Weizsäcker (President of the Federal Republik of Germany 1984-1994)
