Mahatma Gandhi
“This can either be a visit to a dead man’s grave, or a visit to an idea,” said Steve as we took off our sandals and approached Gandhi’s Samadhi (memorial) to the Father of the Nation. Here a flame perpetually burns to mark the love and gratitude of the world for this man’s example. There was a reverent air to this place and a poignant reminder of Gandhi’s teachings of non-violent resistance was embodied in a person sat on the grass spinning cloth in the traditional way.
There was just enough time before we caught our plane to Varanasi to visit the nearby Gandhi museum where we saw his bed which, when I touched to seep in the psychometry, felt contained the vibrations of a man who set no limit to the suffering he was prepared to undertake in order to fulfil his purpose. When I let go, I felt an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion. What a single pointed will this man had had. |
