We all have to follow the path of truth and non-violenceshown by Bapu(Indians often called him Bapu).Gandhiji's often says "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others".
More than half a century after his death, Mahatma Gandhi remains, as always, the symbal of individual courage and righteousness, against the forces of the state. His example inspired Luther King and black Americans to organize the civil rights campaign of the 1960's At a later date Nelson Mandela testified to have come under the same influence.Remembering Gandhi ji we can say that, "We need to pay more heed to the basic principles of Gandhian philosophy if we are to come out of this quagmire".

and a thousand years later that light will still be seen
...and the World will see it."
