TULSI PRAJNA
do it on your enemies hidden deeply in your soul, which have controlled you so badly as to make you immune from the feelings of sin, for what you are doing. Field of Non-violence
The field of Non-violence is vast like the sky according to Gurudev Tulsi, Non-violence cannot be limited to family, society or gation. It covers everything, the whole living panorama. He further expands it by saying that there is no communality, no jealousy, no enemity in it (Non-violence). It is all embracing calm and peace which removes all narrowness.

Indian culture is permeated with it through and through. Lord Ram. Vardhaman Mahavir. Mahatma Buddh, Guru Nank. Kabir. Mahatma Gandhi are examples before us. In a culture 80 nonvioJent the infiltration of violence as a creed should be a matter of concern.
