Best Gandhi Poems

His deepest belief was in truth,
His greatest faith was in God,
He was selfless in his pursuit,
Millions followed where he trod!

He wore no crown, robes or tie,
He was no king, had no kingdom,
Thin and small at five foot five,
He won his people their freedom!

He lived life...

Gandhi


What principle stimulated or stirred this Guy
Which Doctrine or what Teaching did he buy?

Sauntering on sandals and wrapt on his robe
Miles that he treaded traversed entire Globe.

He taught of pure Love- Peace did he teach
Violence did he spurn- Tolerance did he preach.

Vision in his keen...

You may conquer a nation 
But can't this man ...
The one who
Stood in the midst of downtrodden's...
To free them from the shackles of darkness .

The one who led slaves 
To free them .....
From the chained rein's
And has become their roar
For ever ...

Mahatma Gandhi
Civil disobedience as modus operandi
The British, oh so superior
Ended up on their right royal posterior!

I wonder how a titan
rose from the country
of dwarfs.
Recalling him now seems
Like talking about dinosaur
where with no living forms of
that magnitude in vogue
We get the idea of enormity
from fossils:

His relentless insistence on truth,
No gulf between
preaching and practice,
Ceaseless struggle for swaraj,
Humble ideal of trusteeship,
Heroic crusade against...

          made peace to save his life, loved more than any other.

You are the light bearer
And I am the light seeker
Your radiant thoughts flourish and fall
As shower of blessings on us all
Tides of love created by you
Immerse all – make our lives anew
Man is mortal, but your words are not
Amber hearts will always cherish your thought’
Days...

One week ago, a suicide bomber, a murderer took many lives at the Manchester Arena 
The police are hunting down his accomplices to subpoena

Replaying each and...

(A double Rhyme Royal)

     Freedom is not worth the having…if not,
     it includes the freedom to make mistakes.
     Love the sinner, though not the sinner’s plot.
     Give freedom of...

Mahatma Gandhi came in Sonia’s dream
And asked her about his cap, specs and staff
That he gave at his death to Congress Team
She replied that the congress shares the half
My son wears cap in public to rebuff
Specs with the Prime Minister Manmohan
Only thing with me is...

Yellow autumn leaves
And the cold breeze – remind us
Yawning winter days
Again spring comes and
Terrains become bloomy – change
Is essential
Mortal are the men – tottering towards 
A definite fall; but all try to
Defy death. Yet, changes come to 
All – ephemeral assets
Nearing destiny
Grabbing little straws
Going in...

Gandhi
the  savior,
the tower  of  tolerance;
awakened us
from authority;
he brightened our
spirit of sacrifice.
he soaked us with
his nectar of love
he had a heart of 
special virtue
incapable of colour prejudice.
he declined to be 
a  bond slave
and the British pierced
him like an arrow
but his spirit of...

Light of the...
