Editor's Note: Earlier this year, we hosted a very special gathering - Gandhi 3.0. Here, Gandhi stands for the age-old principle of leading with inner transformation and 3.0 represents the many-to-many networks popularized by the modern-day Internet. Gandhi 3.0 is a bridge from the Internet to the Inner-Net:)

Audrey and Rahul bring us an enriching account of the 5 days, the ripples from which continue months after.
