Gandhi Jayanti : 2nd October

Gandhi advised his followers to "become the change you want to see in the world".
We are always thrashing out advises, as what can be changed in our society, in our country , in our spouses, in our children etc., but do we ever pause and think, the change we want to see in others can begin with us. It is so simple when we change in our own small way, we would automatically find changes happening in others, and also in our immediate surroundings.


Every year we celebrate the birthday of  Gandhi : but how many of us follow his principles, of being the change we want to see in the world?
He was the light that illuminated our country for so many years, and  the light is still there, maybe gone a bit dim, but the spark is still alive, and if we are willing to see it, it will give solace to our troubled hearts.
For the light that shone on this country was no ordinary light : it was the light of the Mahatma, the living truth, and the eternal man who was with us, and would always be with us with his eternal truth reminding us of the right path, nudging us away from error, showing this ancient country  called 'India', the way to a bright, modern and secular future.
So on this day  let us again pledge to bring the change within ourselves!
