We are Gandhian Society, a non-political, non-profit organization founded by Shree Bhadra Butala and likeminded-people who carry Gandhiji within their head, heart and in action.
We have three founding pillars… “Nonviolence, Communal Harmony and Self Discipline”
Gandhian Society is located in Edison New Jersey… in the heart of Tri-State area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) where the Indian population is more than 1.5 million. There we have the Gandhian Society’s central office, class rooms, a conference room, a non-profit merchandising store – where we have photographs, Khadi products and many more things available.
We also house a multi-language library of books about Gandhiji and all his followers. We are currently working with many Gandhian NGOs and all other organizations who are inspired by Gandhiji such as America’s own apostle of non-violence, Martin Luther King.

Goal
Force or violence, according to Gandhi Jee, is a madness which cannot be sustained – ‘So ultimately force or violence will bow down before non-violence’.
The message of Gandhi Jee is universal and an eternal source of inspiration for the youth; it provides an anchor and a safe harbor for a youngster in search of direction, clarity and purpose.”
