MISHRA, SUSHMA YADAV, RENU MISHRA Roll no: 60, 62, 51, 63, 50 LET’S GO • GANDHI PHILOSOPHY
• Gandhism is a body of ideas that describes the inspiration,
vision and the life work of Mohandas Gandhi. It is particularly associated with his contributions to the idea of nonviolent resistance, sometimes also called civil resistance. The two pillars of Gandhism are truth and non-violence. • The term "Gandhism" also encompasses what Gandhi's ideas, words and actions mean to people around the world, and how they used them for guidance in building their own future. Gandhism also permeates into the realm of the individual human being, non-political and non-social. A Gandhian can mean either an individual who follows, or a specific philosophy which is attributed to, Gandhism. 1. FAITH IN GOD
• He had a profound faith in God and believed in the unity of man.
• Like Froebel, he said, the ultimate reality in this universe is God.
• He is changeless that holds altogether, that creates, dissolves
and recreates. According to him, “God is un-definable-a mysterious power that pervades everything. His presence is proved not by extraneous evidence but in the transformed conduct and character of those who have felt the real presence of God within.”
• He, therefore, advised to have a living faith in a living God who
is the ultimate arbiter of our fate. His will is supreme. “All life in its essence is one and that men are working consciously or unconsciously towards the realization of that identity.” Therefore, he believed that the goal of life is to realize God. 2. TRUTH
• Truth is the highest goal, and also it is the
means to realize God. He does not demarcate a line of difference between truth and God. Until 1931 he said, “God is Truth” but thence he said, “Truth is God”. He says, “I have no God to serve but Truth. Truth is expressed through the inner voice. It is the call of conscience. It should pervade the whole life. He believed in the practical application of truth in our daily behaviour and in our dealings with our fellow men. Truth is the guiding principle of human conduct. This truth is the ultimate reality which must triumph over evil and hatred.” His advice was to realize that “Truth is life”. 3. NON-VIOLENCE
• The means to attain the goal of Truth is Ahimsa or
Nonviolence. To him, “Ahimsa and Truth are so intertwined that it is practically impossible to disentangle and separate them.” They are the two sides of a coin, or rather a smooth metallic disc, where it is not possible to say “which is the obverse and which is the reverse”? Ahimsa is not a negative attitude; it is a positive attitude of tolerance, patience, perseverance, self- sacrifice, self-suffering, humility, charity, forbearance, rise above attachment and hatred.
• A non-violent person must live a life of Tapasya or
austere living. Non- violence is a great power which must be accepted as the law of life, must pervade the whole being and not be applied to isolated acts. It is not the weapon of the coward and weak but of the strongest to defeat the evil and malignant forces. 4. LOVE
• He said that it is only through love that one
can attain truth. To see the universal and all- prevailing spirit of truth face to face, one must be able to love the nearest of creation as oneself. One can conquer the enemies and brutal evil forces not by becoming evil but through love. Just as God is truth, God is also Love. We love and serve God when we love and serve His creatures. • God, said Gandhiji, “instead of being in the temple, church and Mosque, is to be found in the temple of humanity.” His concept of Ram Rajya is truly the reflection of his concept of love, Ahimsa and Truth. These three cardinal values are identical in nature. 5. AN IDEAL SOCIETY
• He dreamt a dream of ideal society which
would be free from any form of exploitation, social differences, violence, hat redness and injustice. He aimed at to create a class-less society characterised by universal brotherhood, truth, freedom.
• Moral force and moral sanction would be the
guiding principle of such a society. Each individual must be trained to be a useful citizen, shouldering the responsibility and fulfilling his/her duties. He is quite cynical to a society where wealth is a concentrated in a few hands. He conceded the right of everyone to keep as much for himself as was “necessary for a refined, civilized and moral life.” 6. SATYAGRAHA
• It is the supreme principle which
implies an adherence to truth in one’s life. A seeker of truth can practice truth in his life in all its manifestations. A Satyagrahi is free from fear and learns to stick to truth whatever may come on his way. He is a lover of enemy and can conquer the evil forces by truth-a formidable weapon in his hand. Moreover he is not a coward, rather a brave, straight-forward and courageous. • ADVANTAGES OF GANDHI PHILOSOPHY
• Mohandas Gandhi — also affectionately known
as Mahatma — led India's independence movement in the 1930s and 40s by speaking softly without carrying much of a big stick, facing down the British colonialists with stirring speeches and non-violent protest. For his troubles, he's often named among the 20th century's most important figures and remains revered in India as a father of the nation. • More than anything else, historians say, Gandhi proved that one man has the power to take on an empire, using both ethics and intelligence. Other peaceful resisters such as Martin Luther King Jr. during the 1960s civil rights movement and Tibet's Dalai Lama have emulated his methods in years since, shaking up the dynamic of world politics in the process • Such were the benefits of Gandhi philosophy. • IMPACT OF GANDHI PHILOSOPHY ON THE WORLD
