"Pearl of Wisdom" is a Japanese translation of the characters "Djin Dji" which in Sanskrit is "Satyagraha" meaning " Truth Force". When sounded, the gong produces living tones which release this Truth Force. This invokes Mahatma Gandhi's principle of the universal force of love which is the common denominator of all life. All
