Gandhian Way of Resilience and Wellbeing

Change is a dynamic and integrated process of our life. How a person perceives his surroundings and reacts entirely depends upon how well he is able to change as per the need of his surroundings, i.e. how well he adapts to the demands of his surroundings. How a person deals with stressful situations and makes a comeback to his normal life is termed as resilience. Mahatma Gandhi’s life was full of such extreme and demanding situations, but the way he effectively dealt with these situations is the matter of study. It was his perseverance and dedication to an unrelenting pursuit of his goal that finally led to his transformation. His concepts like nonviolence, satyagraha, brahmcharya and the concepts related to ‘Truth’ and ‘God’ can give psychological strength and mental resilience to any individual trying to cope up with the demands of life.
