Ahimsa, the non-violence-world-transformation-light, you had. Satyagraha, the truth-eagerness-manifestation-delight, you were. You were the invaluable voice of India's soul. You were the indisputable choice of India's heart.
Mahatma, you were at once India's hope-beauty-flower and India's promise-fragrance-garden. Your colossal soul will perpetually shine in India's gratitude-heart on the path of life. The transcendental greatness-life of the sun your outer name was. The universal goodness-heart of the moon your inner name was.
Mahatma, in you India discovered India's heart-awakening bells. In India you discovered India's world-beckoning trumpets.
Mahatma, to you I bow and bow.From:Sri Chinmoy,India, my India. Mother India's summit-prides, Agni Press, 1997
