Poem on Gandhiji

 *A Great Soul (A poem on Mahatma Gandhi)* 

 Great souls are not made In gyms or fashionable parlours but in  Foundries producing human castings; 

the  Soul is melted in the heat of human sufferings And carefully wrought great souls are brought out.

 He fought imperialism by resistance with truth Satyagraha. He had a child like heart and  Said that the education of a child begins with  Conception.

 He shed tears at animal sacrifice Even in temples. He preached and practised ‘Ahimsa - non-violence’    ‘Brahmacharya – celibacy’ ‘Satyagraha – resistance with truth’ and ‘Aparigraha – non-possession’; Living  A righteous life and suffering. Winning  Goodwill. 

Rendering service in a spirit of joy. 

 Great souls are not made In gyms or fashionable parlours but in  Foundries producing human castings; the  Soul is melted in the heat of human sufferings And carefully wrought great souls are brought out.

 Dr.S.Padmapriya
