Mahatma Gandhi - Martyrs Day

Rating: 5.0


Unconditional love for God,
Unique faith in humanity,
Untiring struggle for freedom,
Ultimate sacrifice for the country!

These were the exemplary qualities
That made Gandhiji a ‘Mahatma' - A great soul!
A man who was undaunted, fearless,
And embraced death with graceful equanimity.

I carry with me a journal of his writings in which I write poetry inspired by him. Geeta, this poem is so moving that I will print it and attach it to that journal.
