Warm Wishes on Gandhi Jayanti

[1.44]

Pay homage to this great leader

I ask my fellow DFI members to pay homage on the birthday of the Father of the nation.

 

[Sabir]

Ahimsa was his strength...Satya was his path...greatest of great souls he was and purest of those who ever stepped on earth....

God forgive us for diverting so far from the path that he shown to us...the path to peace ....and humanity.

 

[tarunraju]

Bapuji taught the world that a 'fight' needn't involve violence, and yet achieve its objective. Let's hope our future generations remember this, and tap the power of non-violence.

Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi was given the title of Mahatma by another great Indian legend RabindraNath Tagore. From that day he became Mahatma Gandhi – The man who fought a war without fighting.

This a tragedy that the greatest symbol of peace has never awarded the Nobel Peace prize.

''What a great Day'' two great souls were born to lead india.

Mahatama Gandhi ji
&
Lal Bhadhur Shastri ji

Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan" ("Hail the soldier, Hail the farmer")

"If one person gives up one meal in a day, some other person gets his only meal of the day", spoken during the food crisis to encourage people to evenly distribute food.

"Perhaps due to my being small in size and soft of tongue, people are apt to believe that I am not able to be very firm. Though not physically strong, I think I am internally not so weak."

Mahatma Gandhi's Funeral

 

[ppgj]

martin luther king, civil rights leader visited india in 1959.this is what he had to say-
In a radio address made during his final evening in India, King reflected, "Since being in India, I am more convinced than ever before that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity. In a real sense, Mahatma Gandhi embodied in his life certain universal principles that are inherent in the moral structure of the universe, and these principles are as inescapable as the law of gravitation."
Martin Luther King, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

greetings to all on mahatma's jayanthi. may his light guide india.

“I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet. I refuse to live in other people’s houses as an interloper, a beggar or a slave.”

....Mahatma Gandhi
