Book Release by Friends of Gandhi Museum in Pune
Friends of the Gandhi Museum released Jeff Knaebel’s book titled Experiments in Moral Sovereignty Notes of an American Exile in two separate functions. It was released at the hands of Shri Babulal Sharma of the Gandhi Peace foundation Delhi during the World Social Forum there in November 2006. It was again released at the 30th Janurary 2007 Gandhi Martyr Day function, Aga Khan Palace, Pune at the hands of Dr. Asghar Ali Engineer of CSSS Mumbai.
Jeff Knaebel is an American expatriate domiciled in Pune with
his Indian wife Dr. Delia Maria and stepson Siddarth Thomas. The book is his first, in which he presents his case for expatriation from his country of birth. The book expresses three main themes:
(1) A call to people of the world to generate an evolutionary quantum leap into a higher consciousness of nonviolence in order that we may survive as a species. This call is for a revolution from fear to love, from greed to generosity, from cruelty to compassion, from deceit to truth, from dependence to self reliance, from war to peace, from corporate enslavement to individual liberty.
(2) An appeal to India to help raise humanity to a more sacred destiny – not as a nation state, but as a people - to guide mankind to that spiritual unity which alone can bring peace on earth.
(3) The story of one man's quest for individual moral sovereignty in a world of institutionalized structural violence imposed by the corporate warfare state. This struggle - within himself as well as with powers that be – led him to renunciation of and severance from his native land.
The book is 233 pages and is available at a discounted price of Rupees 150 from
