“Village of Service”

Last week I visited a village in eastern Maharashtra state,originally called Segaon, the village was given its present name Sevagram by Mohandas K. Gandhi in 1936 here he founded another ashram and directed the independence movement of india.Within this he created a model community that still flourishes, in which the inhabitants still lives a simple & progressive existence.
It was a lovely experience to feel the spirit that still lingers.

The story of Muzaffar aka Vivek

In time like this (as always in India) in a place like Gujarat known and interpreted otherwise we got to know and share the story of Muzzaffar.We are unhappy, angry, annoyed, frustrated with whatever is happening and the way media present them to us.
That’s why the true story of Muzzafar I read in TOI is comes to us as a ray of light to me.
I hope same will be feeling of other who has not read it yet.

Juxtaposition

Sometimes the two poles of none existent truth and the ever troubling relativity meets each other. This correspondence that took place near bout eighty years go is one of the finest example of it.

Translation:

Respected Mr. Gandhi !I use the presence of your friend in our home to send you these lines. You have shown through your works, that it is possible to succeed without violence even with those who have not discarded the method of violence. We may hope that your example will spread beyond the borders of your country, and will help to establish an international authority, respected by all, that will take decisions and replace war conflicts.With sincere admiration,

Yours

A. Einstein.

I hope that I will be able to meet you face to face some day.

DEAR FRIEND,I was delighted to have your beautiful letter sent through Sundaram. It is a great consolation to me that the work I am doing finds favour in your sight. I do indeed wish that we could meet face to face and that too in India at my Ashram.

Yours sincerely

M. K. GANDHI
