“Not a day goes by that there is not a need for Gandhian thinking,” shares HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji on the auspicious occasion of Gandhi Jayanti.

“Mahatma Gandhiji believed in simplicity, and his humbleness has left behind strong impressions for us to follow! Even today Bapu lives in our hearts and millions of people have been touched by his simplicity and humbleness. He lived for the nation and his fellow citizens. Bapu is the divine confluence of Truthfulness, Ahimsa and Satyagraha. Ahimsa to him was not just an ideal, but it is a natural law of humanity.”

“Mahatma Gandhi not only brought independence to the nation but has also inspired us to free our minds from the vices of greed. Like Gandhiji, we must move from a greed culture to a need culture. From a greed culture to a Green culture. From a need culture to a new culture – a way of living and thinking that is not about taking more and more but about giving more and more.

“This Gandhi Jayanti let us free ourselves from our greed and make attempts to meet people’s needs.”
