(2 October 1869-30 January 1948)
"Service of the country, service of the world, self-realization, vision of God--these are not separate things but different aspects of the same thing."
--Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
“Truth exists, it alone exists. It is the only God and there is but one way of realizing it; there is but one means and that is ahimsa. I will never give it up. May the God that is Truth, in whose name I have taken this pledge, give me the strength to keep it.”
—Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
