| Abstract | ||
According to Gandhi, predominantly known as “the Mahatma”, a man without religion is presence without guidelines, and presence without norms, looks like a boat without a rudder. His intentional undertaking to appear at the Truth of all religions made him say, “I believe in the fundamental Truth of all great religions of the world. And believe that if only we could, all of us, read the scriptures of the different faiths from the standpoints of the followers of those faiths, we should find that they were at the bottom, all one and were all helpful to one another”. Regardless of the way that Gandhi had his say in matter of legislative issues, monetary viewpoints and social issues; concealed all these separated areas there was this exacting force to it. The paper centers around the critical issues of Gandhi’s life and affirmation of these issues in judicious life; and it was completely upheld by different religions of the world; be it his advancements of Satyagraha, Ahimsa, Sarvodaya, Swadeshi, Swaraj or Civil Disobedience and Non-co-movement. His self-depiction “The Story of My Experiments with Truth” is an ideal representation of his life being guided by Truth and that he appeared at the Truth through different religions of the world, on a very basic level by the perspective of the Bhagavad Gita, the innate piece of Hinduism. |
