Mohandas "Mahatma" Karamchand Gandhi, 2 October 1869 - 30 January 1948
"I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers." -Mahatma Gandhi
रघुपति राघव राजाराम , पतित पावन सीताराम
सीताराम सीताराम, भज प्यारे तू सीताराम
ईश्वर अल्लाह तेरो नाम, सब को सन्मति दे भगवान
Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram, Patit Pavan Sita Ram
Sita Ram Sita Ram, Bhaj Pyare Tu Sitaram
Ishwar Allah Tero Naam, Saab Ko Sanmati de Bhagavan
Lord Rama, Chief of the house of Raghu
Uplifters of those who have fallen, (O divine couple) Sita and Rama
Beloved, praise Sita and Rama
God or Allah is your name
Lord, bless everyone with wisdom
The light has not gone out of our lives yet, but the wick is flickering. It is hard to believe that less than 60 years ago, a half-naked fakir brought down the world's greatest Empire where the sun never set, without ever holding public office or preaching a moment's worth of physical violence. Yet he achieved what no sane man could have thought possible, amid bloodshed some may say, but none that was instigated at his behest. He died empty-handed & left behind no vast treasure. Yet he is remembered more than any other Indian that has ever lived. Not just at home, but across the world. A time will come when people will scarcely believe that such a person could exist and may eventually place him in the company of other holy men such as Jesus Christ & The Buddha. Jai Gandhiji! Jai Gandhigiri!
