Jai Gurudev !!
The U.S President Mr.Obama and the Father of our Nation , Mahatma Gandhi - What a Wonderful Chemistry !!
Soon after he became the President , the news of his admiration for Gandhi came as a pleasant surprise , especially to Indians all over the world.
For a man who used to hang a framed picture of Mohandas K. Gandhi in his Senate office, it's no big surprise that President Obama along with first lady Michelle Obama ,on his recent visit to India , quickly headed over to this city's Gandhi Museum, a three-story home where Gandhi stayed when he was in Mumbai.
Obama described the personal impact of Gandhi's teachings of non-violence and equality on his political career. Obama also payed tribute to Gandhi at Raj Ghat .
The president, who once declared that the one person living or dead that he'd love to have dinner with would be Gandhi . A stunning statement which emphasises the admiration he had for Gandhi .
He has said , "He is a hero not just to India, but to the world."
Obama described the personal impact of Gandhi's teachings of non-violence and equality on his political career.
"Throughout my life, including my work as a young man on behalf of the urban poor, I have always found inspiration in the life of Gandhiji and in his simple and profound lesson to be the change we seek in the world," he said.
"I am mindful that I might not be standing before you today, as president of the United States , had it not been for Gandhi and the message he shared with America and the world," he added.
The words of Mr.& Mrs.Obama about our Mahatma is really touching , which goes as
"We will always remember the great soul who changed the world with his message of peace, tolerance, of love,"
This clearly implies that how a man of great ideals can influence the world even after generations ...
Secondly it also opens up the simple truth that " Admiration takes you to greater heights !! "
The height a person reaches is determined by the extent of admiration he has towards a character or an ideal !!
The admiration towards Great Personalities moulds up an another Great Personality sooner or later , no doubt !!
So, Let's start admiring ............
Love & smiles...
