Happy Gandhi Jayanthi

Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated to mark the occasion of the birthday of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the "Father of the Nation". Internationally this day is celebrated as the International Day of Non-Violence as Gandhiji was the preacher of non-violence. He is a symbol of peace and truth.

Gandhiji was born on 2nd October 1869, in Porbunder, a small town in Gujarat. He studied law in U.K and practiced law in South Africa. He has set an example of simple living and high thinking. He was against the addictions like smoking, drinking and non-vegetarianism.

Gandhiji was a pioneer of truth and non-violence. He started the 'Satyagraha' (non-violence) movement for the Indian freedom struggle. He played a very significant role in achieving independence for India from British rule. He proved to the world that freedom can be achieved through the path of total non-violence.

Let us all follow the path of truth and wisdom and pay homage to the ‘Father of our Nation’ on this day.

Wish you all a Happy Gandhi Jayanthi
