Mahatma Gandhi: Prayer

“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.” —Mahatma Gandhi.

"First, they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they deride you, then they insult you, then they scold at you, then they threaten you, then they attack and fight you, then they annihilate you,… and then you lose ! …and even IF you "win", you won't be satisfied with your "Achievements" and the Outcome, and you will become entangled in Contradictions and Inconsequences, so much that you don't see a Way OUT again ! You will lose ALL Benefits, ALL Support and ALL Trust and ALL Understanding for ALL Time… so that you can't tell if you would not just rather want to get ignored and forgotten for all Time… rather than being stigmatized as and treated like the worst Evildoer of all Mankind and of all human History!"

Why Gandhi is a piece of shit and you should hate him.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi has been established in our history as a "Mahatma" which means "great soul"

This man is anything but that.

He is EVERYWHERE. He's on our currency, he's revered as a hero who saved India, and we have a mandatory holiday on October 2nd in honor of him.

If you didn't know, now you're going to get to know why he was a horrible human being. Let's begin.

This man managed to fool people Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela (among many others) into thinking he was a good person.

Here is some of the shit he's done:

In 1903, when Gandhi was in South Africa, he wrote that white people there should be "the predominating race." He also said black people "are troublesome, very dirty, and live like animals."

 Refused to have sex with his wife for the last 38 years of their marriage. He felt that in order to test his commitment to celibacy, he would have beautiful young women (including his own great niece) lie next to him naked through the night. His wife, whom he described as looking like a "meek cow" was no longer desirable enough to be a solid test.

Believed that Indian women who were raped lost their value as a human.

During Gandhi's time as a dissident in South Africa, he discovered a male youth had been harassing two of his female followers. Gandhi responded by personally cutting the girls' hair off, to ensure the "sinner's eye" was "sterilised". Gandhi boasted of the incident in his writings, pushing the message to all Indians that women should carry responsibility for sexual attacks upon them.

He argued that fathers could be justified in killing daughters who had been sexually assaulted for the sake of family and community honour. 

Gandhi also waged a war against contraceptives, labelling Indian women who used them as whores.

He believed menstruation was a "manifestation of the distortion of a woman's soul by her sexuality".

On 6th April 1947, he gave a speech where he said, “ If the Muslims are out there slicing through Hindu masses to wipe out the Hindu race, the Hindus should say nothing and peacefully accept death”.

He hated the great Hindu rulers, especially Shivaji Maharaj. To please the Muslims, he banned the book named ShivBhaavani which correctly depicted Islam’s intolerance and fierce fundamentalism spread by it.

Refused his wife life-saving medication (for religious reasons), but those religious reasons all of a sudden no longer applied to him when he was in a similar position.

Started a fast unto death when Ambedkar asked for separate electorates for Dalits.

Gandhi left his ailing father on his deathbed, to sleep with his wife. The child born out of this copulation died in infancy. According to Gandhi, the death of this infant was the result of this evil karma.

Gandhi, even when he claimed to be the angel of non-violence, made no efforts to prevent the British from deploying Indian troops at various locations during World War II.

Kashmir was invaded by Pakistan in 1947, the brutal Pakistani army committed heinous crimes against Kashmiri Pandits including mass rape and mass killings consequently many Pandits were forced to flee to Delhi and other places. In one incident Pandits took refuge in an abandoned mosque in Delhi. Infuriated, Gandhi threatened to fast to death if the Pandits didn't leave. The Pandits were slaughtered in a communal riot as soon as they abandoned the mosques.

Criticized the Jews for defending themselves against the Holocaust because he insisted that they should have committed public mass suicide in order to "shame" the Germans instead of fighting back. His exact words were, "But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from the cliffs. As it is, they succumbed anyway in their millions."

And this is all from a simple Internet search compiled here. I wonder what else is hiding if I do a deep dive.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

what does your title ‘moon grocer’ mean?

if you search ‘gv desani’ on my blog you’ll find the specific passage, but it’s a bit from his novel All About H Hatterr. He’s joking about the old orientalist tendency to literally translate Asian names, and he gives some examples: one of them is Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, which he literally renders (as if anyone would do that or understand the name that way) as ‘Great-Soul Fascination-Slave Action-Moon Grocer’. I thought it was funny

Tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on His 77th Death Anniversary: Remembering the Apostle of Non-Violence

Introduction

On this solemn occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's 77th death anniversary, we pause to pay tribute to the apostle of non-violence, whose life and teachings continue to inspire millions around the world. As we remember the Father of the Nation, it is essential to reflect on his enduring legacy and the profound impact he has had on shaping modern India and global peace movements.

The Life and Legacy of Mahatma Gandhi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, affectionately known as Mahatma Gandhi, was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, Gujarat. His journey from a shy lawyer to the leader of India's independence movement is a testament to the power of conviction and the strength of character.

Key Milestones in Gandhi's Life:

1893: Arrival in South Africa, where he faced racial discrimination

1915: Return to India and involvement in the Indian National Congress

1917: Champagne Satyagraha, his first major non-violent protest in India

1930: Salt March, a defining moment in the Indian independence movement

1942: Quit India Movement, calling for immediate independence

Gandhi's Unwavering Commitment to Truth and Justice

The Mahatma, who embodied Dharma, is remembered first and foremost for his unwavering commitment to truth and justice. His philosophy of Satyagraha, or "truth-force," was the cornerstone of his non-violent resistance against British colonial rule.

Gandhi's Principles of Truth and Justice:

Ahimsa (Non-violence)

Satya (Truth)

Asteya (Non-stealing)

Aparigraha (Non-possession)

Brahmacharya (Celibacy)

These principles not only guided his personal life but also formed the basis of his political and social activism.

The Relevance of Gandhi's Teachings Today

In our increasingly polarized world, Gandhi's teachings remain as relevant today as they were during the struggle for independence. His emphasis on peaceful coexistence, religious harmony, and sustainable living offers valuable insights for addressing contemporary challenges.

Areas Where Gandhi's Teachings Apply Today:

Conflict resolution and peacebuilding

Environmental conservation and sustainable development

Social justice and equality

Interfaith dialogue and religious tolerance

Ethical leadership and governance

Non-Violence: The Supreme Force for Change

Gandhiji proved that non-violence is the supreme force that can bring about change and lead a nation to freedom. His successful application of non-violent resistance not only secured India's independence but also inspired civil rights movements worldwide.

Examples of Non-Violent Movements Inspired by Gandhi:

The Civil Rights Movement in the United States led by Martin Luther King Jr.

The Anti-Apartheid Movement in South Africa led by Nelson Mandela

The Solidarity Movement in Poland led by Lech Walesa

The Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia led by Vaclav Havel

These movements demonstrate the enduring power of Gandhi's philosophy in effecting social and political change.

Inspiring the Youth: Gandhi's Path of Truth and Perseverance

Gandhi's path of truth and perseverance serves as an inspiration for the youth of today, guiding them toward a future built on peace, harmony, and moral integrity. His life offers valuable lessons in leadership, self-discipline, and social responsibility.

Lessons for Today's Youth:

The importance of standing up for one's beliefs

The power of non-violent protest and civil disobedience

The value of simple living and high thinking

The significance of education and continuous learning

The need for ethical conduct in personal and professional life

Conclusion: Illuminating Our Journey

As we pay our respects to the Father of the Nation on his 77th death anniversary, we are reminded that Gandhi's ideals continue to illuminate our journey. His vision of a just, peaceful, and harmonious world remains a beacon of hope in these challenging times.

Let us honor Gandhi's memory by embodying his principles in our daily lives and working towards a better future for all. As Dr. Nowhera Shaik, MD & CEO of Heera Group of Companies, aptly stated, "Once again, I pay my respects to the Father of the Nation, whose ideals continue to illuminate our journey."
