Dear Friends,
Good morning!
We are remembering the great soul,Bapuji,today on his birth anniversary with respect and love .Today is the birth anniversary of our Ex-Prime Minister,Shri.Lal Bahadur Shastriji too.I really wish,2nd October should not be just another holiday for us.I was influenced by the great personality right from the childhood.that is because of the good upbringing,the right awareness n the vast reading.Here is a simple attempt to remember the Father Of Our Nation.
Today-October 2nd,The International Day Of Non -Violence.''We must be the change we wish to see'',one of the most popular quotes of Mahatma!
Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi,
Bapuji as he is affectionately called,
Born to Karamcahand Gandhi n Putalibai,
In Porbander,in Gujarat,on 2nd October,1869,
Very shy and was scared by nature;
The values of truthfulness,honesty n integrity,
Were instilled in him, right from his childhood;
Mohandas got married at the age of 13-14;
His wife was Kasturba of the same age;
As like many of us Mohandas too,
Fell into the bad company in young age,
And did the sinful deeds;
But he realised the mistakes n wrote them down;
And handing over the letter to his father,
He sat by the bed side as his father was ill;
Tears rolled down from father's cheeks;
But he did not utter a single word,
The pain was written on his face;
And the silence was the best punishment he received;
It was then that Mohandas resolved;
He would always resolve a truthful life.
And throughout his life,
He stuck to his resolution.
This simple great man leaves me spellbound;
H e was a Barrister by profession,
And spent twenty long years of discomfort n insults in South Africa.
Truth n nonviolence is what he taught us,
The principles for which he fought,
Preaching n practices were the same for him,
This simple great men changed the lives of millions,
Through love,kindhearetd nature,
He looks so simple at the spinning wheel,
An everlasting smile adorned his face,
Non violence is the solution to the strife,
the valuable lessons of cleanliness n patience,
Listen not see not speak not evil,
leads a life of simplicity n high thinking,
Mahatma took the long journey of tough n rough path,
To lift the life of millions n get the free INDIA,
Gandhiji is the source of inspiration n emulation;
For great leaders like Martin Luther King Jr n Nelson Mandela,
He is regarded as the symbol of independent India,
We salute you,Mahatma,for your greatness,
Your very name is synonymous with peace n non violence,
You struggled to bring Indians together;
The unparalleled struggle with wisdom n foresight;
Gandhiji fought against injustice,
And brought unity among people,
He did not miss a single opportunity in serving his country;
And we owe you,Bapuji for your struggle to free India
Here is a rare birth of a real Mahatma,
who dedicated his life to the service of humanity;
Who taught us the important values of,
Brotherhood,peace non-violence,equality n simplicity,
Friends,let us follow the path he has shown us,
This will be the most befitting tribute to him!

''Nobody can hurt me without my permission''.
There is more to life than simply increasing its speed''.

''The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others''.

Let us pledge to serve the society,our state n nation n we can bring out better changes.why do we succumb to anger and aggressions?
the dedication is -''Raghupathi raghava rajaram......Pateetha pavana seetharam.............'
It is dedicated to the hero,the ever green role model of my life-BAPUJI! I love this song and today many many times, Iwill sing the lines..........
