Gandhi - A *Maha* Atma !!

Jai Gurudev !!




The Nation celebrating the Birthday of its Father ...
The time again , the nation wakes up to ...
the Newspaper ,Television, Radios and other media  relaying 
Gandhi's life history , his words of wisdom , his Satyagraha Principle etc 
His unique appearance with the spectacles and a walking stick , even a small kid of the present age can identify easily.
So, Generations after generations , he is remembered with much awe and reverence and will continue to stay in the hearts of men  for ages and ages !!


Oh ! What a Blessing -
To stay in this world , immortal !!
What an Impact 
has He made on this world !!
Simply proved that
the Great Spiritual Values -
Non Violence , Truth , Determination, Perseverance, sacrifice  
are all immortal !!
Making an ordinary spirit rise to the level of 
Super-Spirit or Great Soul -
The MahaAtma !!



I remember my school days , where we were given a small diary sort of book called as "Sathya Sothanai " ,  ( In English , Test for Truth ) year after year .
The book consists of a page meant for each day- .
At the end of the day, the page needs to be filled as a part of the homework. The page has a selected list of a Test points amounting to a number of about  15 , such as ,
  • Did you behave well today  without hurting others ?
  • Did you speak any lies today ?
  • Did you  steal today ?
  • Did you fight with anyone today ?
  • Did you help anyone today ?
  • Did you do the prayer today ?
A lot of Introspective questions - we have to fill up the tabular column with  a Tick mark or a Cross mark , that would be inspected by the class teacher once a week .
Sometimes , we forget to fill it up , resulting in the punishment . Hence to avoid that , sometimes, we take up the page and start ticking the columns for the whole week at one shot.
And I used to take due care that atleast one or two negative markings are there in a day . Because , I had a feeling that it's impossible for anyone to be 100 % perfect , but later on realised , it can strived to achieve !!
Somehow , this "Test for Truth " book has been the first step for me to enter into the path of Truth !!





The Beautiful Pathway !!

Jai Mahatma !!


Love & smiles....
