Vinoba Bhave on Gandhi

Here is Vinoba Bhave sharing his thoughts on Gandhi:When, still a child, I was drawn by Bengal and the Himalayas. I cherished dreams of going to these places.

When Gandhi Encounters 600 Thugs in Rajkot

"My greatest weapon is a mute prayer," he used to say.I happened to be leafing through page 418 of Rajmohan Gandhi's biography of Gandhi and thought I'd post the full account as it appears in the book:There was talk of threat to Sardar Vallabh Patel's life.
