Gandhiji and Rama Nama - 4
Dear To All,
We would like to bring here some of the quotes of Gandhi from the book "Rama Nama" by M.K. Gandhi.
"RAMA! RAMA!"
As Gandhiji passed through the cordoned lane through the prayer
congregation, he took his hands off the shoulders of the two girls to
answer the namaskars of the prayer congregation. All of a sudden some
one from the crowd roughly elbowed his way into the cordon from the
right. Little Manu thinking that he was coming forward to touch his
feet, remonstrated saying something about it being already late for the
prayer and tried to stop the intruder by holding his hand. He violently
jerked her off, causing the Ashram Bhajanavali and Bapu's spittoon and
mala, which she was carrying in her hands, to fall down. As she stooped
down to pick up the scattered things, he planted himself in front of
Bapu at less than point blank range – so close, indeed, that one of the
ejected shells was afterwards found caught among the folds of Bapu's
clothes. Three shots rang out in quick succession from the
seven-chambered automatic pistol, the first shot entering the abdomen
on the right side two and a half inches above the umbilicus and three
and a half inches to the right of the mid line, the second penetrating
the seventh intercostal space one inch to the right of the mid line and
the third on the right side of the chest one inch above the nipple and
four inches from the mid line. The first and the second shots passed
right through and came out at the back. The third remained embedded in
the lung. At the first shot the foot that was in motion, when he was
hit, came down. He still stood on his legs when the second shot rang
out and then collapsed. The last words he uttered were "Rama Rama".
(Harijan, 15.2.1948)
