Seminar on Mahatma Gandhi

Tweet

Today I attended a seminar on the occasion Jayanthi of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He was shot dead on October 2nd. He died a sad man. India lay divided. Hindu-Muslim riots were rampant all over the country. His brahmacharya (celibacy) experiments had no takers. He had earned the wholesale hostility of his entire tribe of associates. The man must have born ahead of his time. He lived by the cardinal principle of the great Buddha,’ the truth of suffering and the truth of deliverance from suffering.' Gandhi had no doubt suffered in the cause in the cause off truth but he had also almost arrived at the truth ' deliverance from suffering'. Many talked about the negative side of his life; well each of us has positive as well as negative aspects; we should try to absorb, the good aspects of others ignoring the negative. Sun shines on clean water, ponds, slums full of germs, oceans; but it takes the ‘pure water’ only; we too must do this. [b]WISHING ALL MEMBERS A HAPPY GANDHI JAYANTHI Your say on this?
