It is more than two years that I have been totally depending on my well wishers for my personal needs. I am so thrilled to tell my gandhitopia family that my friends have been very kind and I have faced no financial difficulty. This is an humble expriment in Trusteeship. It is the trust of my friends that is making me moved and helping me to share the Mission of my life, Gandhi and Ayurveda. I am on my way to Europe and the US with my Mission. Thanks to my friends Allover.

Power is a very necessary means of life. These days we cannot imagine our comfortless in life without it so it is very necessary to best use of power. Mahatma Gandhi spoke at Poona on 1 March 1946 that I regard the existence of power wheels for the grinding of corn in thousands of villages as the limit of our helplessness. I suppose India does not produce all the engines or grinding machines. I fondly hope that the number of wheels and engines does not run into thousands even for the…

Gandhiji delivered his most popular speech on the occasion of Banaras Hindu University inauguration programme at 6 February 1916.  In this speech you can find the actual mind set up of Mahatma Gandhi. You know how much he brave?

I have merely removed some of the verbiage which in cold print would make the speech bad reading:

Friends, I wish to tender my humble apology for the long delay that took place before I was able to reach this place. And you will readily accept…

Religion And Peace

Religion and peace are inter related. We can get true peace through religion. But you know religion must be in true sense. No human being or religious institution is perfect in this imperfect world. Religious institutions are an answer to the challenge of the age and the particular circumstances prevailing at the time. Today we worship Christ but the Christ in the flesh we crucified.

In theory, a perfect religion is possible. But mankind has not known any so…

There are various castes and creeds in India. The very common belief among the foreigner that all Indians are born vegetarians. This is true only in part. Indian people are divided into three main divisions- Hindus, Muslims, and the Parsis. The Hindus are again divided into four main castes-Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras; there is theory only Brahmins and Vaisyas are pure vegetarians. But in practice almost all the Indians are vegetarians. Some are so voluntarily…

By Kanti Shah
