Explanation:
KARMAYOGI GANDHI
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, also known as Bapu (the father of the nation) and Mahatma (the great soul) was born at Porbandar on 2nd October, 1869. Karamchand was his father and Putlibai was his mother. His father was a hereditary diwan of a petty princely state in erstwhile Kathiwara.
His mother was a pious, God-fearing, devout and simple lady given to traditional religious practices such as prayers, reciting of God’s names, counting rosary beads etc. They belonged to the caste of Vaishya.
Mahatma Gandhi Gandhi’s father came to Rajkot from Porbandar when Gandhi was married at the early age of 13 to Kasturba. He passed matriculation at the age of 17 and then studied for some time in a college at Bhavnagar.
When quite young, he tried eating meat and smoking but instantly he was overcome with deep remorse, repentance and revulsion. Similarly, when his father was dying, he was busy enjoying sex with his wife Kasturba Gandhi. When he came to know about the death of his father he was overwhelmed with a sense of shock and remorse.
These petty misadventures and experiments of his formative years left indelible impression on his young mind and later we see him taking a strict vow of celibacy, non-injury and compassion towards all living beings. Thus, he developed sharp and strong ideas about a number of important things of life. After his father’s death he sailed from Bombay to London to study law so that he could become diwan of a princely State in Gujarat.
