Shanti Devi, also known as Lugdi Devi in her alleged past life, was an Indian woman who claimed to recall her previous life, sparking widespread interest in reincarnation research. Born in Delhi, India, she began sharing memories of her past life as a young girl. At the age of six, she attempted to reach Mathura, claiming it was her real home. Despite initial skepticism, Shanti Devi's detailed knowledge of a merchant named Kedarnath Chaube in Mathura and his deceased wife, Lugdi Devi, led to the recognition of her as the reincarnation of Lugdi Devi. Mahatma Gandhi supported her claim and set up a commission to investigate, concluding that she was indeed the reincarnation of Lugdi Devi. Shanti Devi's story continued to attract attention, and she was interviewed by various researchers, including Ian Stevenson and K.S. Rawat. Despite the controversy surrounding her case, Shanti Devi's story remains a subject of interest in the field of reincarnation research.

The Shanti Sena, also known as the "Peace army," was a non-violent group of followers of Mahatma Gandhi in India. The term "Shanti Sena" was first coined by Gandhi to conceptualize a nonviolent volunteer peacekeeping program aimed at minimizing communal violence within the Indian populace. Inspired by this movement, other groups such as the World Peace Brigade, Nonviolent Peaceforce, Swaraj Peeth, Peace Brigades International, and participants in the Rainbow Gathering have emerged, serving as a basis for the practice of Third Party Non-violent Intervention. The words "Shanti" and "Sena" are derived from Sanskrit, with "Shanti" meaning peace and "Sena" meaning army or a drilled band of men. Despite criticism for its connection to militarism, Gandhi attributed strong metaphorical and spiritual qualities to the term "sena" as used in the Hindu vedas. After the Gandhian era, the Shanti Sena has taken on various incarnations, with separate groups developed by Vinoba Bhave and Jayaprakash Narayan based on their interpretations of it. The Shanti Sena program has also been institutionalized into India's Gandhigram Rural University and is active in Sri Lanka as part of the organization Sarvodaya.
