VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Indian activist Gandhi led many peaceful rebellions against oppressive governments, first in South Africa and later in British-controlled India. At first he called his strategy "passive resistance," but later disavowed that term because it had negative implications. He ultimately chose the Sanskrit word satyagraha, meaning "love force" or "truth force." "Truth ('satya') implies love," he said, "and firmness ('agraha') is a synonym for force. 'Satyagraha' is thus the force which is born of truth and love." According to my reading of the astrological omens, Virgo, satyagraha should be your word of power in the coming weeks. Your uprising against the forces of darkness has got to do more than say "no." A fierce, primal yes should be at the heart of your crusade. View all posts by Adrienne
Hi Adrienne, I saw this quote getting passed around on Facebook and really loved it. I’m currently working on a Ted talk, and I’m thinking of using this quote. Did you write it? If so, can I use it? If not, could you tell me who wrote it?
Thanks!
Sally
I wrote it! let me know how talk goes.
Thanks Adrienne, I’m guessing that’s okay to use your quote then?
I’ll send you a link when it’s online. 🙂
