Today is the birth anniversary of the great freedom fighter of India Mahatma Gandhi and we in India say we are celebrating Gandhi Jayanti.
Across the world he is a well-known figure who not only fought for freedom but he fought following the path of Non-violence, which was his utmost strength in the freedom fight.
Near my home in Mumbai there is a small museum called Mani Bhavan where some of Gandhiji's items are placed. This place was a political house for him for few years in his fight for freedom. I have visited there couple of times. Next time when I go there, I will share the pictures of the place.
Since the last 2 years this day has always dreaded me, because my Son is also an activist and they ideally choose this day to do some of their big events against the corruption and fraud political systems. As an individual I am very proud of the work that he does, but as a Mother I am always concerned about him, which is very natural.
Statue of Mahatma Gandhi I came across in Geneva nearby to the United Nations building. This shows that he was not only a Hero of India, but a Hero of the world.
There is a quote dedicated by Sadhguru to Mahatma Gandhi "When an individual is Committed to something beyond their own personal wellbeing, there will be a very powerful situation.
This is so true, Mahatma Gandhi dedicated his whole life for the Country, he never thought anything about his own personal self, it was always the Country first. If not for him and the other great freedom fighters of India, we would have never had our Independence. After India gained independence, he never sought for any political power and never took any of the key political positions. Sadly, he was shot by one of the Indians who did not have tolerance towards Mahatma Gandhi's religious beliefs.
Well, I will not write about his life and all because that's there to read on the net. I would just like to pay my tribute to this great hero of India without whom history would have been very different.
