Gandhi was born in 1869 in Porbandar, India to a Hindu family. He was deeply influenced by stories of devotion and truth from his childhood. He went to London to study law and later used non-violent civil disobedience in South Africa to fight discrimination against Indians. Gandhi employed non-cooperation and satyagraha to lead India to independence from British rule through massive non-violent protests. He fasted, wrote prolifically, and traveled throughout India to mobilize people. Gandhi inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He was assassinated in 1948 by Nathuram Godse due to his progressive views.

7.  Once he read the story of Shravana. Shravana used to carry his old and blind
parents in two baskets slung on a bamboo yoke. Mohan was deeply touched by
his devotion to his old parents. He resolved to be like Shravana and serve his
parents.

Once Mohan saw a play depicting the life of King Harishchandra, who lost his
kingdom and suffered much for truth. Mohan was so deeply moved by this play
that he was in tears. He decided never to swerve from the path of truth and be
ever truthful and honest like Harishchandra.

In his childhood the young Gandhi was very timid. He feared to step in
darkness, even in his own house. He feared ghosts and thieves and snakes.
Rambha was a maid servant in his house. Once she said to Mohan: `Why are
you so much fearful? Remember Rama! Rama will always protect you. Fear
never encounters him who remembers Rama.'
Mohan was deeply impressed by these words. He took to reciting the name of
Rama. His faith in Rama increased as he grew up. He remembered God and
dedicated all his work to him. When he died his last words were `He Rama!'
