Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi
In America, the Absolute Supreme chose Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to be the unparalleled student of Mahatma Gandhi and his message of non-violence.Dr. King introduced the principle of non-violence to his brothers and sisters who were struggling for equal rights in all spheres of life. His momentous words were:
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality."
"He who himself hurts the creatures, or gets them hurt by others, augments the world's hostility towards himself."
