Ramblings and Musings

Gandhi Jayanti today

Today is the birthday of Bapu, or Mahatma Gandhi as he is called. I still wonder about his relevance in today's violent and tempestuous world. Perhaps, he is even more relevant than before. In times when humanity is caught in a whirlwind of terrorism, natural calamities, corruption, greed for power, neo-colonisation (of the Asian countries by America), financial bankruptcy and moral degeneration, Gandhi's teachings of Ahimsa (non-violence) and satyagraha (non-violent struggle) must be understood and imbibed by all those who hunger for blood, gore and power.

To all of you who want to read more about him, I refer you to my biography of the Mahatma. It can be found in my portfolio under "My Awarded Items". Or you can go to this link directly: "Gandhi : The Naked Fakir (1st Prize)" .

Thanks for reading this blog.
