Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2nd 1869 in Porbandar in Gujarat.

Known as 'Mahatma' (great soul), Gandhi was the leader of the Indian nationalist movement against British rule, and is widely considered the father of his country. His doctrine of nonviolent protest to achieve political and social progress has been hugely influential.

On January 30th 1948, he was assassinated in Delhi by a Hindu fanatic.

THE DISCOVERY OF LOVE
Takes a tear
and put it
on who has never cried.
Earn courage
and gives it
to those who do not
know struggle
Make life
and to whom it
understands nothing
Fills you with hope
and lives to their light
Enriches you of kindness
and offers it to give
those who do not know
Live with love
and you will
know the world

I went to Wickipedia on Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and found out about details about the salt satyagriha and posted in my blog.
With regards

Comment by Tree Thunderchild on February 12, 2009 at 9:08am: I am still on dialup until I can get a satalite dish,
I have been going though the years of my life for past knowledge of Gandhi and found some but only pieces.
I am looking for something on the edge of one of my memories,
of a small device Gandhi made for spinning cotton.
Does any know where I can find plans for how to build one of these?
Also, of a trip Gandhi had made to the ocean to get salt,
does any know more information on that item?

Part of my reasons, are also the reasons why I like this guy.
it has to do, not so much with his words but his actions.
About, not just talking the talk,
but walking the walk.

Or as I say in my own words,
That it is not enough to know great things,
the art and true path to changing the world
comes from,
Living, what I know.

It is for this the most,
that Gandhi (among others), is someone I can relate to as a friend.

I can answer your questions. The small device Gandhiji used for spinning cotton is called a Charka. It is available in India anywhere.As for his going to ocean to get salt is, he made a satyagraha (a from of protest) called salt satyagraha to protest the rules of the then British banning anyone making salt.What he did was to take a big group of followers and going to the sea to make salt pans to make salt.I shall try to get the photographs of both in the net and try to post it in this sight.

Comment by Tree Thunderchild on February 10, 2009 at 11:41pm: I think that Gandhi was a man.
Equal, that Clicia is a woman.

If a man seeks the truth and finds it is one thing.
to follow the truth and to live the truth, are different also,
If Gandhi saw the truth, and set his feet to walk in its path,
then I see great wisdom in this man.
But see also equally that Clicia walks this same path.
It is the truth, and desire to live the truth once it is learned,
that is what I hold Gandhi as being a great and powerful man among the people.
What he left, was not the answer nor the way,
but showed in his own foot steps a path we may all take.
Doing so has made many equally great in my eyes,
Clicia is that proof I hold as self evident,
of a great heart, the guides the feet.
