We need somebody like Bapuji in our society now. Some to follow. Corruption was before and will be in future too. But At least a genuine leader that is all we want here in India. I think you will find this interesting too http://successsearch.wordpress.com/
And i love your work dear friend.
The above–quite beautiful–and the sentiment, if not the exact words, incidentally, inspired my sonnet and its haiku introduction, it was something that was sparked within me on the site of another blogger, coincidentally enough. But the work was not finished here yet. I remember finding the quote, being amazed at the coincidence and sending you the above.
Incidentally, not that this matters much, but I did do some research on the above quote by Ghandi. It appears to be a paraphrase from something he said–very much the same meaning, but eloquent in the way in which he so often was:
“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. … We need not wait to see what others do.”
Wonderfully written. A beautiful tribute. We seem to appreciate and want to restore similar values in the world…I wrote a tribute to Mandela last year and appreciate your admiration and mourning for the lack of such leaders today. Thank you for honouring what is honourable.
Valiant warrior of Non-violence – from my Protestant Christian roots reminds of hymn “Onward Christian Soldiers” but certainly not the same as the Crusades a thousand years ago. More in tune with aims of Salvation Army charity organization.
how beautiful
Peace and Patience says it all. Thank you for the post. I hope you don’t mind if I share this.
Reblogged this on vigilkumar.

Mahatma was a man of peace and also a man of action. Thanks for honoring this great man.
A great tribute to a great man. “Personification of peace and patience”, the world is in dire need of another Mahatma.
It is lovely to meet another poet. Your words stir the soul.
Thanks for visiting and liking soulsnet because now I have followed you here.

Powerful tribute
People have different views about his philosophy…but this is true…we must be the change we wish to see in this world… : )
Very nice honest tribute to Mahatma.
Vigil Kumar, your style is distinctive and effective.

Hello Vigil. Thank-you for stopping by my site and following along! I’m very pleased to meet you. I look forward to hearing more from you!
I read; and enrich.
I comment, like, and agree.
I follow, devout:
The order in which
I prefer to see this be.
So, in my redoubt,
I’m the change in pitch
I wish, in the world, to see–
and to bring about.
Effective use of alliteration. You could use Wordle to turn the poem into an intriguing word-cloud graphic.
A most excellent tribute !
It is hard to fathom the man from the myth, for the man was so much more than the myth. KB
Wonderful tribute. I always liked those words from Gandhi, because it’s so true.

Very nice… Calming like the man himself…
Thank you so much
Thank you for your appreciation.
A great tribute in perfect words !
