Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening my friends out
there! This is 11:30pm. 3rd October, 2013, Thursday in India. How
are you my friends? Another Durga Utsav is coming in our way in India. All the
people are enjoying their preparation for this festival. I have also shopped so
many dresses and saris and the process is going on!
Yesterday, we have celebrated the Birthday of the ‘Father of
Nation’, Mahatma Gandhiji as Gandhi Jayanti. Allow me to say something about
him.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi, the apostle of
peace was born on 2nd October 1869 at Porbandar in Gujarat. Gandhi Jayanti is
celebrated on the very day every year as the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, Father
of India.
In his autobiography "My experiments with Truth" Gandhi recalls that his childhood and teen age years were characterized by education in a local school, marriage to Kasturba at the age of 13 and an intrinsic love for ‘truth’ and ‘duty’.
Gandhi, as he was popularly called, proved that non-violence is the most effective instrument of social change. His teachings are promoted even today to avoid violence and find peaceful solutions to conflicts. Through his sheer dedication and self-belief, Gandhi freed India from the British Raj (British Rule). He proved to the world that freedom can be achieved through the path of non-violence.
For Gandhi ‘Non-violence’ and 'Truth' were two inalienable virtues. He summed up the entire philosophy of his life as: "The only virtue I want to claim is truth and non-violence. I lay no claim to super human powers: I want none".
The United Nations General Assembly announced on 15th June, 2007 that October 2nd will be celebrated as the International Day of Non-Violence.
Well, that’s all for today. Have a great weekend. Take care of your family and yourself. Have a good day/ afternoon/evening/night! Namaskar.
