Answers
Dear Bapu you inspire me
The life of Mahatma Gandhi has been an inspiration not only for Indians, but
for people from all other countries as well. He was an epitome of many virtues,
self-less actions, and peace-spreading thoughts. No wonder he is called Mahatma
(The Great Soul) by the entire world. People are born; people die. But some
people after they are gone leave behind them a trail of light that illumines
the path for the striving followers. Longfellow has praised such people in
his poem, 'A Psalm of Life'. He says,
" And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;"
The above written lines aptly describe the sublimity of Mahatma Gandhi’s life.
Mahatma Gandhi was a great soul whose philosophy and ideology influenced the
world considerably. He practiced non-violence and tried to resist all
opposition spiritually. He believed in overcoming fear, dependence on others
through self-reliance and self- industry. He successfully resisted the British
injustice, aggression, oppression using his non-violence and satayagreh.
Ultimately he succeeded in winning Independence from the British. His
philosophy and ideology were adopted by many great leaders of the world. Leo
Tolstoy, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, etc, successfully adopted and
practiced his teachings. The world acknowledges his contributions to mankind
even in modern times.
Mahatma Gandhi's ideology is universal which is relevant for all times. People
know very little about his subtly powerful and pragmatic ideology. If his
ideology were not effective, the world would not have accorded him the title of
Mahatma. His ideology is admired throughout the world for its universal and
spiritual appeal. Its relevance in the contemporary turbulent times is more
than it was in the past.
Mahatma Gandhi's most famous ideology of non-violence is practiced by each
individual, state, and country in the world, conflicts, wars, violence, etc
will be wiped from the face of the earth. People will live in a securer and
happier world!
Similarly, Gandhi’s ideology on vegetarianism, truthfulness, self-government, self-reliance, observing silence, cleanliness, etc, holds solutions to almost all the problems afflicting people in the modern times. If put into practice, they have the power to enable the modern man enjoy life holistically. There is inspiration in everything he did. Bapu you really inspire me.
