Let me briefly devote you into the Gandhica story and the value judgments about it, expressing its intellectual triumph and breakthrough of the socio-humanitarian science. After the publication of the GHA eighth book “Global Peace Science” in 2016 (https://peacefromharmony.org/docs/global-peace-science-2016.pdf), we started preparing for a new book, which eventually got the name Gandhica. We found in philosophy, science and practice of non-violence of the greatest peacemaker in human history, Mahatma Gandhi, a new fundamental thinking/consciousness for a new, peacemaking era that eliminates inequality and war, ensures the humanity survival and the prosperity of all nations o­n the basis of Gandhian equal varnas/spherons, covering the entire population. Hundreds of the GHA members and its peacemaking friends participated in the creation of this book, of which o­nly 82 people from 25 countries remained in its co-authors, including the President of India, four Nobel Peace Laureates and many peace leaders.

Over the three years of its preparation, reflection, writing of many versions, discussing them, choosing the best of them, editing them and publishing the final o­ne in four languages: English, Russian, French and Spanish, many critical and evaluative opinions were expressed about it. Almost all of them were published in the book or in the texts of the discussion, responses of its various parts and in the many supporting projects that accompanied it, from No. 52 to No. 70 inclusive (https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=472).

From the value judgments, we have chosen more than two dozen (from the 16 countries) of the most saturated with meaning, reflecting the most important facets of Gandhica, its meanings for different spheres and their application in them, first of all, naturally, in peacemaking and harmonizing saving direction. These judgments in unity characterize the unprecedented intellectual triumph of this book, first of all, its equally necessary and sufficient societal spheres and spherons, for the scientific breakthrough of social sciences into the “substantially new manner” (Einstein) of the holistic thinking of global peace. This thinking ensures the humanity survival in the 21st century that is not provided by the traditional partial and militaristic thinking, which 100% prepared the suicidal genocide/ecocide of humanity.

This thinking captures “the greatest force of non-violence of mankind, which is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction” (Gandhi). The “greatest force of nonviolence” of the equal varnas/spherons remained almost inaccessible to traditional thinking for almost a century after Gandhi began to write about it. Therefore, Gandhica, which provided the solution to the key intellectual challenges of humanity for two centuries, unconditionally deserves the assessment of “intellectual triumph and breakthrough” in its history. Its authors made a lot of mental efforts to realize and express it at least partially in the first approximation in their evaluative judgments quoted below. Naturally, they are incomplete and will be supplemented by new, deeper, fresher and more fundamental o­nes. This is just the beginning of the story of a “substantially new manner of thinking”. It is still ahead of the new generations, for which it was created in the first place. Its first, and today the most important destination is the intellectual introduction to the GHA tenth book - Gandhicracy 2020 (https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=907) as its practical, political embodiment.

Our selection is modeled o­n many of similar “Praises”, “Acknowledgements”, “Reviews”, “Recognitions”, “Endorsements” in many outstanding books, such as the “Praises” of the best-selling book by Riane Eisler “The Chalice and The Blade” o­n gender partnership: https://peacefromharmony.org/docs/Riane-Eisler-The-Chalice-and-The-Blade.pdf We have chosen the “triumph” to denote Gandhica. As far as this is adequate, judge the thinking and interested reader.

Dr. Leo Semashko,

GHA Founder and Honorary President, initiator, lead author, manager and editor-in-chief of Gandhica,

“The Queen wished to thank you for your book, called Gandhica, which has been written by several authors in commemoration of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th anniversary” - Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain

“The world needs a great vision of peace and prosperity of all the nations. Global Peace Science from harmony and its continuation in Gandhica are the dawn of a shinning, harmonious vision of peace and prosperity for all nations! Together with it, the enlightened citizens will emerge, able of building a harmonious civilization of peace and prosperity o­n the planet Earth.” - Abdul Kalam, President of India

“The challenges that the world faces today are serious, and we cannot succeed in overcoming the threats to human civilization and the biosphere without close cooperation. This is why the GHA holistic researches of global peace in its many books especially in Gandhica are so vitally important.” - John Avery, Nobel Peace Laureate, Danish Peace Academy Founder, "One of the greatest living intellectuals o­n Earth", GHA World Harmony Creator

“The Leo Semashko’s first key and fundamental systemic discovery was made by him more than 40 years ago – it is societally equal and srructurally constant but historically transient universal clusters of the population, covering all people in general from birth to death and differing o­n employment in o­ne of the four spheres of social production. Therefore, they were called by ‘spherons’. They are principally different from traditional classes in their peaceful genetic nature excluding war. They are still unknown to traditional social science due to their non-linear, thermodynamic statistical nature. In the GHA’s ninth book “Gandhica”, the concept of spherons received full empirical evidence from the world statistics of the 76 countries that turned it from a hypothesis into the first fundamental peace science.” - Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace Laureate, North Ireland

“Gandhica is a treatise o­n the political and philosophical vision of Mahatma Gandhi and its application to society today. The book makes history, compiling articles, opinions, poems and pictorial expressions of renowned world intellectuals all of whom are committed to universal peace and human rights.” - Prof. Ernesto Kahan MD, Former Vice President of IPPNW: Association awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, Israel

“Gandhica is the scientific foundation for peacebuilding Gandikratia-2020 - Gandhian nonviolent democracy of equal varnas/spherons as a reconciliatory political revolution of the XXI century.” - Subhash Chandra, Professor, GHA President, India

“Dreams of humankind always were the big challenge to achieve peace from harmony. The GHA first penetrates in Gandhica into the social foundation – into the deep structure of equal spherons' harmony as social actors of perpetual global peace. The peoples have long been waiting for this discovery. Right now, this science is the dawn of shining light in our era; it becomes a Copernican Revolution of the public conscience in the 21st century. Gandhica will be the joint spiritual ground of the peoples to establish humanity entirely exempt from war, militarism and violence for prosperity of every nation and peaceful life for all. Our scientific Gandhica is the o­nly spiritual hope for this freedom to deprogram violence o­n the planet through the peace education in structural modeling of the spheres and the spherons’ laws of societal harmony.” - Susana Roberts, poet and writer, Argentina

“The developed in Gandhica argumentation of spherons is quite satisfactory from a scientific point of view. The scientific conclusion about reality of spherons is fundamental and logically impeccable as all its premises are logical and factual flawless: Maturana, Parsons and others.” - Rudolf Siebert, Professor of Sociology and Religion, USA

“Global Peace Science is concentrated in the GHA Gandhica, which is a logical enlargement of Dr. L. Semashko’s tetrasociology. The author reformulates basic tenets of K. Marx’s social classes and the dimensions of sociologist Talcott Parsons’ theory about the functional prerequisites of socio-cultural systems. The ultimate goal of Dr. Semashko’s social philosophy is very lofty. It ensures the achievement of global peace from the harmony of structurally equal spherons. Their equality and harmony in peace determine the highest social value. ” – Reimon Bachika, Professor of Sociology, Japan

“I believe that the proposed Leo Semashko amendments to the Constitution of Russia o­n the basis of Gandhica are the most important of all amendments proposed by citizens. The future of our country depends o­n them in many respects. Therefore, these innovations deserve full support. ” - Andrey Smirnov, philosopher, Russia

"The GHA Gandhica great project of our century is making a networked world a collaborative enterprise. Awareness of interdependence of the holistic spherons is a valuable instrument for achieving high level of enlightened consciousness and global peace." - Michael Brenner, Professor Emeritus of International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh, USA

“The genius of Gandhi anticipated the revolution of non-violence, theoretically revealed in Gandhica. Therefore, it self became an intellectual revolution. Gandhi’s mental experience compressed in Gandhica allowed its initiator and editor-in-chief, GHA leader, Professor Leo Semashko responsibly to declare: “The war killed my father, and I killed the war intellectually.” Gandhica inspires confidence that in our time it is possible to achieve universal peace from the harmony of varnas/spherons following for Gandhi.” - Takis D. Ioannides, writer and historian, Greece

“Leo Semashko has joined a long list of Russian truth-seekers and visionaries: the holy elders of the Orthodox Church, Leo Tolstoy and Feodor Dostoevsky, Vladimir Soloviev, Nikolai Fedorov, Elena Blavatskaya, Nikolai and Helena Roerich, Boris Pasternak, Mikhail Bakhtin and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. They believed that the most reliable path to peace comes from a deep-based social harmony, which, according to Semashko scientific conviction, root in the equal spherons that are classes of the population engaged not in Marxist class struggle and war but in harmonious cooperation. Their structure is universal and eternal; it penetrates into the soul and character of a person, providing peace from harmony of humankind. Semashko has not o­nly challenged Marxist-Leninist "science" of the class struggle, but also inspired by his predecessors, especially Gandhi’s teachings o­n nonviolence of equal varnas/spherons, created the science of global peace, which is most fundamentally disclosed in Gandhica." - Vladislav Krasnov, historian, RAGA President, USA

“Since I first became acquainted with Leo Semashko’s tetrasociology (in 2002) his theorising has become more detailed and more complex. However, the underlying logic remains the same: it begins with the four spheres of social production of the young Karl Marx and the autopoiesis (self-production) of Humberto Maturana. Semashko’s four spherons/classes employed in them are: 1. Sociospheron, which produces humans. 2. Infospheron, which produces information. 3. Orgsferon, which produces organizations. 4. Technospheron, which produces things. Their equality and sociocybernetic harmony are found the sources in Gandhi’s teachings o­n equal ancient varnas/spherons of India, which at the present level are revealed in detail and empirically proved by world statistics in the GHA Gandhica. This book is a new fundamental step in social science.” - Bernard Scott, Doctor of Sociocybernetics, Britain

“Gandhica was appeared o­n October 2, 2019 as a marvelous unique creation of 82 coauthors of the 25 countries. It is an innovative integrated means of scientific interpretation of social reality through “spherons” proceeded as “tetranet thinking” based o­n discovery of Karl Marx (4 spheres of social production), Maturana (autopoiesis), Parsons (societal communities) and long term experience of GHA. Spherons are the source ofhuman life, the foundation of all its higher and eternal values: harmony, peace, solidarity, nonviolence, justice, unity, freedom, equality, fraternity, love and happiness. They provide an adequate scientific understanding of the Gandhian movement of humanity from violence to nonviolence. The lifelong peacemaking dedication of the principal author, editor in chief, philosopher, social reformer, Professor Leo Semashko and his great inspiration and effort along with its coauthors’ contributions provide the project with triumphal success. Gandhica will certainly helpful for academia, peace aspirants, peace builders, conflict managers, researchers, and social reformers, as rich source of information and guide for creating New World Order of Global Peace.” - Pravat K. Dhal, Professor of Education, India

«Gandhica describes the fundamental scientific discovery of a new social reality of the spherons, spheral classes of the population employed in the spheres of social production. Spherons are the noospheral structure of humankind: the source of energy of nonviolence as the greatest force in the hands of mankind (Gandhi); able to end the war before the war ends humanity (John Kennedy) and shift the arms race into a peace race (Martin Luther King Jr.).

Gandhica develops the Einstein’s “substantially new manner of thinking” (or «nonviolent Tetranet Thinking”) by the holistic spheres and spherons, which constitute the fundamental societal platform of global peace. Spherons are the center of its sociocybernetic genome. Gandhica reveals innovative spheral statistics of spherons, arming their science with a mathematical statistical tool. This amazing book is a must-read for all: social scientists, politicians, public figures, researchers, and peacebuilders, who have a deep interest in conflict transformation by peaceful means. Therefore, Gandhica shall be the most powerful weapon to transform war politics into the politics of nonviolence and peace.” -Bishnu Pathak, Ph.D., director of the Conflict Study Center, Nepal

“Gandhica is humanity's choice: a Gandhian nonviolent hack of militarism or dying in an escalation of violence. Through the advancement of AI and hypersonic weapons, Gandhi's Golden Rule of non-violence becomes humanity's most important survival principle in steering digitalization. We either non-violently hack humanity's digitally empowered circle of violence, endowed with digital technologies, or die from its escalation. We need a rebirth of cybernetics, not least to prevent the rebirth of a military cybernetics. We perpetuate war and compete for the increase and control of production, while humanity’s primary task is non-violent self-organization through the Gandhian holistic spheres and spherons. Our current delicate balance of terror of hypersonic nuclear weapons will leave no time for human to respond and find rescue solution from global genocide/ecocide. Humanity needs to unite now to solve the task we have inherited from the creators of digitalization: how to unite human and machine intelligence. Digitalization globalized Gandhi's golden rule of non-violence. We either imagine and act o­n a common non-violent solution, as Gandhica suggests, or soon any moment of humanity's digital transformation, even without human interference, could be our last.” - Lucas Pawlik, cybernetician and philosopher, Austria

“Analogy in the approaches of two humanists of nonviolence: Mahatma Gandhi and Léo Semashko. Leo Semashko is inventor of the tetrasociology and spherons as the center of Global Peace Science (2016) and Gandhica (2019). I am know since 2006 the scientific and humanistic approach of Leo Semashko, who has with Gandhi o­ne quality of perseverance!

Leo Semashko gradually built his system of thought in spite of its insertion lasting a long time in the ideological bath of the Communism whose center was the former USSR quite far away from the values that it propagates today. Without financial aid he confronts the dominant thinking of economic liberalism based as the prevailing standard of the American imperialism and its militarism. In spite of these difficulties, increasingly today many thinkers of the various continents join him, share and look further into his thought. The Gandhian scientific approach of Semashko joined dozens various authors and integrated almost all the diversity of the constructive peacemaking ideas of pacifism relieving it from fragmented impotence in front of the war and military science.

His science, like supreme scientific comprehension of peace, has all the reasons to become the intellectual and technological alternative most powerful to military science and all the wars, including the nuclear war prepared and matured in the new spirit of “Barbarossa”, which will be a catastrophe for humanity and planet. This science, concentrated in Gandhica, and its new technologies of peacebuilding open a new era of humanity - the age of peace and Gandhian nonviolence. This science and its modern approach, in my opinion, are aimed at a universal generalization of Gandhi’s non-violence and its principle of full equality of varnas/spherons as the basis for the equality of all nations, genders, races and social groups.

If the principle of non-violence, which Mahatma Gandhi implemented, remains a world reference, the theoretical development of Leo Semashko and international researchers brought together in GHA is aimed at providing it with a fundamental scientific justification and equipping it with the mathematical apparatus of spheral statistics. Their conceptualization provides it with a global practical range of application that overcomes all national, cultural and civilizational boundaries. Léo is right that our scientific and humanistic approach of the Gandhica irrigates the world! I publish this treasure in France to revive the Gandhian Enlightenment in the new century.” - Guy Crequie, French philosopher and writer

“The spherons’ structure of humanity creates internally permanent/constant social genome (Socionome) at all its levels, safeguarding its (humanity) autonomy in biosphere, universal peace, holistic and sustainable development o­n the Earth ensuring a global harmonious society in 21st century. Spherons define in Gandhica "Sociology of the Future", which predicts a peaceful and harmonious human society.” - Ayo Ayoola-Amale, Law Professor, Ghana

“A new peace global process determined by the overarching law as described in the Gandhica in terms of the spherons’ harmony could be the answer to our current dangerous human predicament where out very survival as a species is at stake.” - Michael Ellis, Professor of Medicine, Australia

“The fundamental difference between the theory of the Gandhian varnas/spherons in Gandhica and the Marxist theory of classes is that it rejects the materialism of Marx, like any monism. It stands o­n the position of tetrarian (four-dimensional) pluralism of equal spherons engaged in four spheres of social production, which are equally necessary and sufficient for the life of every person and every society in history. Conscious construction of a spheral pluralistic society will ensure a harmonious ecology.” - Timi Ecimovic, Ecologist, Slovenia

From the Gandhica Epilogue. “We, the GHA “Gandhi book” authors, have found for it the lapidary term Gandhica. Gandhica is the vision, thinking, methodology and the GHA design symbol for the Nonviolence Era of the XXI century, which Gandhi began to build more than 100 years ago. Gandhica unites and reveals in Gandhi’s nonviolence the ten key values of the new Era, which he used to define its fundamental attributes: life, truth, peace, harmony, love, disarmament, freedom, equality, fraternity, real democracy. They are structurally substantiated by societally equal spherons and them base they are modeled in four parts of the Gandhica: o­ntology, epistemology, sociology, and statistics of our book.

Gandhica is a constructive alternative, meaningful antipode, “hack” and nonviolent negation of that monstrous destructive reality, captured in the genius picture of the Spanish painter Pablo Picasso “Guernica”, which became a symbol of the last century violence. It is a bright artistic expression of ten attributes of the bloodiest XX century of human history - the outgoing violence era pick: death, war, lie, Nazism, hatred, militarism, slavery, discrimination, hostility, pseudo-democracy.

Gandhi and Picasso are living human sources and symbols of the new Era of Nonviolence from the 20th century. The GHA is o­nly intellectually deciphering their ingenious intuitive symbols in “substantially new manner of thinking” (Einstein) - in nonviolent harmonious tetranet thinking by the equal spheres and spherons, which is multi-dimensionally deployed in Gandhica.

This “substantially new manner of thinking” by the spheres/spherons is embodying all the humanistic social power of non-violence as “the greatest force of humanity, which is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction” (Gandhi) and its generating source — militarism. Gandhica as the new era worldview becomes the center of its public consciousness and the core of global harmonious peacemaking education starting from family, preschool up to academic and o­n all life. It is able to uproot the global status quo of the total threat to the survival of humanity from its 100% prepared nuclear hypersonic military suicide. There is no other way out except the o­ne proposed by Gandhica.

At the XXI century end, humanity with new, non-violent tetranet thinking, developed and proven in our Gandhica, will certainly achieve global peace and provide a shift from the era of violence into the Divine Harmonious Era of Gandhian Non-Violence. Gandhica gives full faith and hope for this creating its spiritual and theoretically conscious platform, which was constitute by this book. This is the crown of the GHA colossal work for almost 15 years. We can justifiably be proud of it and congratulate our international peacemaking team of hundreds of the GHA members and its friends from dozens of countries with this historical peaceloving achievement and unprecedented intellectual victory over war, militarism and violence! Gandhica is an invitation to all people, young people in the first place, to take part in its implementation through education to ensure life and better future.” - The Gandhica Epilogue Authors

Yes! Gandhika deserves the highest praise. Indeed, Gandhika is a triumph, a breakthrough, a masterpiece with its unprecedented intellectual content. This is a triumph for intellectual people who allowed themselves the labor to delve into its contents, at least a little. For all natural difficulty of its understanding today, I’m sure in its undeniable future. I believe in it and hope so.
