Mahatma Gandhi 32 - Satyagraha Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Mahatma Gandhi 32 - Satyagraha
'Satyagraha'
A unique Indian term,
An act of commitment,
An oath,
A firm resolution,
An effort towards an objective,
A spirit of inner strength and will power!
Gandhiji sowed the seed of Satyagraha
In Africa - one of the continents of this world:
The potent seed of Satyagraha,
Sprouting out with determination,
Growing into a convincing tree,
Spreading its branches, wider and wider
Moving towards its goal in India!
Gandhiji discovered this movement,
Movement of Satyagraha -
‘Satya' - the truth,
‘Agraha' - the aspiration,
An efficacious endeavour,
To seek and search for truth,
To realise and establish truth!
Gandhiji's Satyagraha
A methodology of passive resistance,
Yet, a persuasive movement,
To stand up for a worthy cause,
To fight for basic human rights,
To live a life of dignity,
To seek liberation from oppression!
Satyagraha became a strong weapon
For Gandhiji - Throughout his life,
A weapon that never hurt anyone,
A weapon unaccompanied by any physical assault,
A weapon fully devoid of any sort of violence,
A weapon of peace
A weapon of powerful Ahimsa!
It was a weapon of humainity...MAHATMA my all time hero...please read my ' A RISE AND FALL OF HUMANITY
Geeta, your beautifully profound poem is a timely reminder to war mongers and violent protesters that peaceful protest is the way of truth. You have done an excellent job with this ode to one of history's greatest saints. Thank you honouring his memory.
Thank you Richard. I am really happy that you read this poem highlighting the Satyagraha movement of Gandhiji with emphasis on non-violence and peace.
