Thx to Raju Rajuy :-) :-) International Day of Non-Violence http://www.gandhiashram.org.in/ Sabarmati Ashram (also known as Gandhi Ashram, Harijan Ashram, or Satyagraha Ashram) is located in the Ahmedabad suburb of Sabarmati adjoining to famous Ashram Road, at the bank of River Sabarmati, 4 miles away from the city Town Hall. This was one of the residences of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. This ashram is now converted in to the national monument by the Government of India due to its significance in Indian independence movement in the form of Dandi March in 1930. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 - 30 January 1948) was the pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of satyagraha  resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon ahimsa or total non-violence which led India to independence and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known around the world as Mahatma Gandhi ('Great Soul', a honorific first applied to him by Rabindranath Tagore), and in India also as Bapu . He is officially honoured in India as the Father of the Nation; his birthday, during the 2 October, is commemorated there as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and worldwide as the International Day of Non-Violence. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in Porbandar, a coastal town in present-day Gujarat, India, on 2 October 1869. His father, Karamchand Gandhi (1822-1885), who belonged to the Hindu Modh community, was the diwan (Prime Minister) of the eponymous Porbander state, a small princely state in the Kathiawar Agency of British India. His grandfather' s name was Uttamchand Gandhi fondly called as Utta Gandhi. His mother, Putlibai, who came from the Hindu Pranami Vaishnava community, was Karamchand's fourth wife, the first three wives having apparently died in childbirth. Growing up with a devout mother and the Jain traditions of the region, the young Mohandas absorbed early the influences that would play an important role in his adult life; these included compassion to sentient beings, vegetarianism, fasting for self-purification, and mutual tolerance between individuals of different creeds Mahatma Gandhi's Life in Pictures Father Karm Chand Gandhi s/o Uttam Chand Gandhi Mohan's Grand Father was Diwan of Porbandar, Gujarat Mother Putli Bai Gandhi Born into a modest Gujarati family,  Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Mahatma Gandhi Profile..   Mohandas 2nd.
