Innumerable Parallels Of Gandhiji Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Innumerable Parallels Of Gandhiji



Gandhiji illustrated
the Gandhian way
with innumerable parallels
from the Christian tradition,
while fully recognizing
his Hindu dharma basis,
and concludes that
the awakening
of the Indian mind
in Gandhi was not
simply the awakening
of a distinctly Hindu
form of interior life.


It was for the entire world.

Hence Gandhi's message
was valid for India
and for himself
as it represented
the awakening of a new world.

Amen, Tony! I think of Gandhi as one who could, with humanity and clarity, see what truth there was in any religious tradition. Though, naturally and understandably, he had a special affinity for the one he grew up with. -Glen
