Comment by Clicia Pavan on July 10, 2011 at 4:29pm: Lord ... Help me to tell the truth in front of the strong and not tell lies to win the applause of the weak. If you give me fortune, not take away the reason. If you give me success, not take away my humility. If you give me humility, not take away my dignity. Help me to see the other side of the coin. Let me not accuse the other of treason to the others, just not to think like me. Teach me to love others as myself. Do not let it make me proud to triumph, nor fall into despair of failure. But it reminds me that failure is the experience that precedes the triumph. Teach me to forgive is a sign of greatness and that vengeance is a sign of meanness. If not give me the success, give me strength to learn from failure. If I offend people, grant me the courage to apologize, and if people offend me, give me the greatness to forgive them. Sir, if I forget you, never forget me.
Mahatma Gandhi

Señor ... Ayúdame a decir la verdad delante de los fuertes y no decir mentiras para ganar el aplauso de los débiles. Si me das fortuna, no quitan la razón. Si me das éxito, no quitar mi humildad. Si me das humildad, no quitar mi dignidad. Ayúdame a ver la otra cara de la moneda. No me dejes inculpar de traición a la patria del otro a los demás, pero no pensar como yo. Enséñame a amar a los demás como a mí mismo. No dejes que me hacen sentir orgulloso de triunfar, ni caer en la desesperación del fracaso. Pero me recuerda que el fracaso es la experiencia que precede al triunfo. Enséñame que perdonar es un signo de grandeza y que la venganza es una señal de bajeza. Si no me dan el éxito, me da fuerzas para aprender del fracaso. Si yo ofendiera a la gente, dame valor para disculparme y si la gente me ofende, dame la grandeza para perdonar. Señor, si me olvido de ti, nunca me olvides.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mohandas K. Gandhi, the “Great Soul,” . In a world seemingly dominated by violence and hatred, Mahatma Gandhi reincarnated the ancient idea of Ahimsa, non-violence, as the only way of living in peace. His example influenced and inspired many later peaceful struggles, for example the civil rights movement of Martin Luther King, Jr. Despite India’s shortcomings, Gandhi never lost faith in Ahimsa:

Um grande homem, uma grande alma

Gandhi, a "Grande Alma", Em um mundo aparentemente dominado pela violência e pelo ódio, Mahatma Gandhi reencarnado a antiga idéia de Ahimsa, não-violência, como a única maneira de viver em paz. Seu exemplo influenciaram e inspiraram muitas lutas depois pacífica, por exemplo, o movimento dos direitos civis de Martin Luther King, Jr. Apesar de deficiências da Índia, Gandhi nunca perdeu a fé em Ahimsa:

Love Gandhi!

Comment by Nagaraja Magonahalli on June 26, 2011 at 7:03am: we have been contempararies of this great man, after some years when third and fourth generations only live they may not even believe such a person really lived in body and soul in India. It could be mistaken for a mythical identity of an individual human being! That is his greatness!
