Love is Life ...

In remembrance of one of the greatest figures ever lived. A man who throughout his life, Gandhi remained committed to non-violence and truth even in the most extreme situations. A student of Hindu philosophy, he lived simply, organizing an ashram that was self-sufficient in its needs. Making his own clothes—the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl woven with a charkha—he lived on a simple vegetarian diet. He used rigorous fasts, for long periods, for both self-purification and protest. More information about him can be found here ….

Love is Life..

"Where there is love there is life." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
A man of love, born on this day in Porbandar, India, Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948), led the Indian nationalist movement
and was later known as Mahatma ("great soul").

"We must be the change we wish to see in the world," he said.

Change the world, he did. Dedicating his life to Indian independence
and Hindu-Moslem cooperation, he did more than anyone else in
history to advance the practice of nonviolent resistance and non-
cooperation, inspiring Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King, Jr., and
others.

"My life is my message," said the great spiritual leader who lived
his life with the celebration of truth.

With the establishment of the Satyagraha ("steadfastness in truth")
League in 1919, he taught that the way people behaved mattered more
than what they achieved.

"Non-violent revolution is not a program of seizure of power," he
said. "It is a program of transformation of relationships, ending in
a peaceful transfer of power."

In 1920, Gandhi began a hand spinning and weaving program to promote
social, political, and economic freedom. He also fought to improve
the status of the lowest classes of Indian society, the casteless

Untouchables whom he called harijans ("children of God").

"Think of the poorest person you have ever seen," said Gandhi, "and
ask if your next act will be of any use to him."

Repeatedly imprisoned for his boycotts, he resorted to hunger
strikes of civil disobedience that eventually led to his country's
independence in 1947 after two and half centuries of British rule.

One of history's greatest teachers, Albert Einstein once wrote of
Gandhi: "Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that
such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."

Love.
