Gandhiji
Gandhiji’s
life was dedicated to the ideals of Truth,
Non-violence and Love. 'The Bhagavad Gita is my
mother,' he once said; and the name of Sri Rama
was his shield. He was the architect of India's
freedom and one of the greatest men of this
century.
A
traveler, who came from Europe to India about
thirty-five years ago, was asked: ‘What do you
wish to see in India?’ His reply was: 'The
Himalayas, The Taj Mahal and Mahatma Gandhi.' It
was neither wealth nor power that made Gandhiji
so famous. He became famous for certain good
quality that he possessed. He always practiced
what he taught. He did not do evil to any body;
and also, he did not even consider the evil doer
as wicked. He wished him well; and wished all
well; he wished well to everything, and at all
times. He looked upon all with love, and worked
all through life to put an end to hatred and to
spread love. From ancient times such a man of
love has been called a 'Mahatma 'in India.
