Mahatma Gandhi was the father of Indian Nation. He led the country to freedom. His sacrifices and pure life impressed the people of this country and the world. He believed in simple living and high thinking. He used to live in simple Khadi and take Goat’s milk. He was a pure vegetarian. He had faith in God. He read out the Bhagwat Gita and followed the lines a laid down in that great volume written by the ancient seers. He studied the Ramayana and thus was attracted towards the principles of lofty spiritualism. He knew that the performance of duty was quite necessary.

It is indeed very sad that our country saw the martyrdom of this great patriot at the hands of an Indian. But he lived and died for his own principles of life. He wanted the people of all the religions to live peacefully with one another. He treated all the human beings as the children of God. He, therefore preached the gospel of brotherhood of mankind. 

Shri Mohan Das Karmam Chand Gandhi was born on 2nd October,1869 at Porbandur in Gujarat. Gandhiji received higher education in England there also he remained as a pure vegetarian.
