To the Godless Goons of Mob India
RamaRajya, Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent utopia of mutual tolerance, has no place for bigots who lynch and leech the Weak.
Lynch my body
Pinch my soul
Punch my pride
Drench my blood
Staunch be your henchmen
Bunch of bigoted hooligans
Flinch us they from progress
Wrench us they from justice
Exhaust every trick in your bag
Pull every arrow off your quiver
Bribe your cheerleaders forever
Swing your

Our Mahatma
Loincloth was his dress;
Truth was his address.
Nonviolence was his armor;
A warrior and a perfect charmer.
A man of progress,
And an epitome of success.
He is the ‘Father of our Nation’;
He is our Mahatma!

O Statue On Pedestal
Pray Bapu1, we’re in plastic age,
Stay happy installed, tall on stage.
Too bad, your birthday prayer meets,
Rows of stark chairs staring in rage,
If your spinning wheels still rotate,
They just spin for a page-three page.
Your ideals may well still be there—
Safe and secured, captive in cage,
When so I see your smiling face
On a wall, O

Mahatma Gandhi
He is my role model
His life, an inspiration to me
Did some research on him
Since then am in awe of him
Empath at heart,
he dedicated his life in selfless service
Saw teeming millions without dress
Wore a simple dothi like them
Wherever he found people suffering
Took up their cause, fought for justice
Knew scriptures well, was therefore
always good in words, deeds

A Tribute To the Nation
On this day, day
we reminisce our past,
Let this freedom last,
Deep in of Love hearts a flame is lit,
Of love and True Spirit;
Years ago, Gandhiji fought..
And brought back our freedom;
The ahimsa that he preached,
Reached miles and miles away.
The Dandi March he tread;
Spread the corrupt means and nature the Invaders.
He,

Ihmo Mahatma Gandhi
I applaud him for his ideals, specially non-violence.
Britishers beat him hard but he never retaliated back.
His deep knowledge of ancient scriptures made him aware violence
is bad. He knew however bad others maybe we should be good.
He disapproved of partition. He warned leaders it would lead to
major problems and it did. While other leaders celebrated
independence he

Mahatma Gandhiji
My humble tribute to a great personality:
When India won freedom, he did not attend the celebration, rather he was on road helping all, trying to end communal violence. He said how can I celebrate when so many are in distress.

In Memory of the Mahatma
Millions came like moths
from the cities and slums, and
the countryside and hillsides ,
enchanted by his bright light.
He led an army without arms
in the war against an empire,
where the sun never set.
His ‘non-violence’ was more
powerful than an artillery.
He taught the hungry how to
spin the threads of hope with
the spinning-wheels. Our
papas and grandpas learned
from

Gandhi Mahatma
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 about the same time,
Adolf Hitler unleashed his anger,
millions perished to

I Love the Song Mahatma Gandhi Loved
Shobana sings at the Mandapam in Chennai ... which I did not see
After all, my pilgrimage was only once, in 2003
He had cut his teeth in 1893 with apartheid & segregation
In Africa, where today it is a fad to find fault that he was but human
"They" expect Gandhi to have been perfect; high-caste he was,
Yet

Mother Molded Mahatma
The name Mahatma Gandhi is synonymous with truth
But he was not an epitome of truth by birth
His mother Putlibai had had strong religious faith
Unless and until rituals completed, she used to hold breath
She also practiced the sacred "Kokila Vratha" - a vow ritual
She would wait for the call of Kokila - cuckoo -

Manchester Suicide Bomber Gets More Attention Than Mahatma Gandhi
One week ago, a suicide bomber, a murderer took many lives at the Manchester Arena
The police are hunting down his accomplices to subpoena
It seems that the papers have nothing better to do than to show his face to us every day
Replaying each and every horrific moment to his families and relatives: including his
