Question

great leaders like mahatama gandhi​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mahātmā (/məˈhɑːtmə, -ˈhæt-/) is Sanskrit for "Great Soul" (महात्मा mahātmā: महा mahā (great) + आत्मं or आत्मन ātman [soul]). Mahātmā is similar in usage to the modern English term saint and can be translated to "ascended master".[1] This epithet is commonly applied to prominent people from the Indian subcontinent like Basaveshwara[2] (1105-1167), Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948), Munshiram (later Swami Shraddhananda, (1856–1926), Lalon Shah (1772–1890), Ayyankali (1863-1941) and Jyotirao Phule (1827–1890). It has also been historically used for a class of Jain scholars.

Mohandas Gandhi's title "Mahatma" Edit

Main article: Mahatma Gandhi

According to some authors Rabindranath Tagore is said to have used on March 6, 1915, this title for Gandhi.[3] Some claim that he was called Mahatma by the residents of Gurukul Kangadi in April 1915,[4] and he in turn called the founder Munshiram a Mahatma (who later became Swami Shraddhananda). However, a document honoring him with the title "Mahatma" on Jan 21, 1915, in Jetpur, Gujarat, by Nautamlal Bhagvanji Mehta is preserved at the National Gandhi Museum in New Delhi, India.[5] This document remains the earliest record of the title "Mahatma" being bestowed upon Gandhi. The use of the term Mahatma in Jainism to denote a class of lay priests, has been noted since the 17th century. A Mahatma is someone who practices Trikaranasuddhi.[6]
