' Ahimsa '...
The word ahimsa in Sanskrit signifies harmlessness, non-injury to others.
It was a quality at the heart of Gandhi's gospel and Saint Francis' preaching.
The saint of Assisi knew no Sanskrit but his instruction "to cause no offense whatsoever to anyone"
could also be used as a definition of ahimsa.
