Managed as a collaborative effort between the EENI Global Business School and the Gita Institute under the guidance of author Pedro Nonell, this vital initiative uses education to counter radicalization across the African Sahel.

By replacing conflict with the transformative power of scriptural knowledge (Jnana Yoga), the project provides structural relief to communities recovering from extremist violence, turning ancient philosophy into a real-world tool for peace.

The Ahimsa Africa Project: Funding Interfaith Harmony and Higher Education

All profits from this book will be dedicated to the “ Ahimsa Africa” project developed by EENI Global Business School and the Gita Institute of which I am the director. In addition to dispelling ignorance with the sword of knowledge (Jnana to the West).

The two fundamental objectives of the project are:

1. Train Africans in the area of "Business, Ethics and Religions” by facilitating their access to higher education

2. Disseminate the “Principle of Harmony between religions” enunciated by Sri Ramakrishna (all religions are valid, they are only one path) in Africa and particularly in the countries of the African Sahel (Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Central African Republic, Mauritania, Cameroon..) where the conflict between Islam and Christianity is once again a serious problem

Sri Ramakrishna, Harmony, so many paths, so many religions

More information about the book:

In Africa, traditional African religions, as the deepest and most primal substratum of the African man and woman, and the principle of Sri Ramakrishna can help improve the dialogue between Islam and Christianity, and can be one more way to avoid radicalization jihadist that so seriously plagues the Sahel.

The Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram (“No to Western education” in Hausa) kidnapped and enslaved more than 2,000 women and girls between 2014 and 2015, including 276 in a single night at the Chibok school. I have seen firsthand the consequences of terrorism: death, violence, desolation, economic ruin.. In 2017 I had to close a university in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) due to the terrorist threat.

This book is distributed in paper and digital format, if the reader has an unpurchased copy and agrees with the vision of the “Ahimsa Africa” project, consider making a donation.
