Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Namaskar Mitra, Sri Aurobindo was not only one to say that Gandhi was very Christian, Muhammad Ali a leading light of the Khilafat Movement said so too. Quoted from Thoughts on Pakistan by Dr B R Ambedkar " In 1923 Mahommad Ali presided over the session of the Congress, in his address he spoke of Gandhi in the following terms – excerpts "Many have compared Gandhi’s teachings & lately his personal sufferings to those of Jesus. The idea of being all-powerful by suffering & resignation, and of triumphing over force by purity of heart, is as old as the days of Abel & Cain, the first progeny of man. The political conditions of India just before the advent of the Mahatma resembled those of Judea on the eve of the advent of Jesus, and the prescription that he offered to those in search of a remedy for the ills of India was the same that Jesus had dispended before in Judea. Self-purification through suffering, a moral preparation for the responsibilities of Government, a self-discipline as the condition precedent of Swaraj, this was the Mahatma’s creed & conviction". Quote Sri Aurobindo from India’s Rebirth, said on 22/6/1926 " When the Europeans say that he is more Christian than many Christians (some even say that he Christ of the modern times) they are perfectly right. All his preaching is derived from Christianity, and though the garb is Indian the essential spirit is Christian. He is largely influenced by Tolstoy, the Bible and has a strong Jain ting in his teachings. What he preaches is not Indian spirituality but something derived from Russian Christianity, non-violence, suffering etc".’ love and om sanjeev Discover your Indian Roots at - http://www.esamskriti.comTo mail - exploreindia (AT) vsnl (DOT) net.Long Live Sanatan / Kshatriya Dharam.
