Gandhi's Last words were "HEY RAM"
Gandhi and RAM the inseparable duo..
Its become a Great fashion these days to bash Gandhi and gain cheap publicity..As minority among people make great effort to separate Gandhi and Ram..Is it really possibly??...Lets examine Gandhi's own words & thoughts on the RAM..
• In the end it will be as Rama commands me. Thus I dance as He pulls the strings. I am in His hands and so I am experiencing ineffable peace." Gandhi had often expressed a desire to die with the words "He Ram!" on his lips.."
• In his prayer meetings he often described "Ramanama", or the constant invocation of the name of Ram, as the "best medicine"
• His favorite Bhajan was "Raghupathi Raghava Raja Ram"
• Since at least 1924 Gandhi had been recommending the practice of Ramanama to his friends and acquaintances, but for nearly two years before his death, he had taken to advocating it enthusiastically to a wider public as an "unfailing remedy."
• Gandhi always cautioned against uttering the name of Rama except as part of a process of self-realization or as an effort to call forth the divinity within oneself
• He even likened Ramanama to a "mathematical formula", thereby suggesting that its efficacy extended from well beyond the individual to society as a whole, transcending the barriers of space and time alike.
• On 20 January 1948, Nathuram, Gopal, and a handful of others had engineered a bomb explosion at Birla House with the hope of killing Gandhi, but the attempt was a resounding failure; two days later, Gandhi took Manu aside and told her: "I wish I might face the assassin’s bullets while lying on your lap and repeating the name of Rama with a smile on my face. But whether the world says it or not — for the world has a double face .I tell you that you should regard me as your true mother.
• On the evening before his death, Manu has written, Gandhi suggested that the moment, and manner, of his death would reveal to the world whether he was a real Mahatma or not: if he were to die of a "lingering disease, or even from a pimple", she was to shout from the rooftops to the whole world that he was a "false or hypocritical Mahatma." Yet if an explosion took place, as it had last week, "or if someone shot at me", Gandhi told Manu, "and I received
his bullet in my bare chest without a sigh and with Rama’s name on my lips, only then should you say that I was a true Mahatma."
That is precisely the manner in which Gandhi appears to have died, judging from the overwhelming consensus among his biographers.
• The Secular Critics have not fully understood him they think that Gandhi’s "Ram Rajya" had no necessary reference to any historical Ram, or to the kingdom over which the Ram of the Ramayana is said to have presided.. Gandhi writes shortly before his death,
"Sometimes we tread a dangerous path in believing that Rama and Krishna were historical entities and we are compelled to take recourse to all manner of arguments to prove that"
You can separate Gandhi from Mahatma and but you can never something that is in his Soul "RAM"..
In the END it was A RAM that shot Gandhi..although Gandhi was very principled..he wasn’t Ram..look at GODSE Nathuram’s name..it is as though
GODSE NATHURAM-GOD SAID NA-TU-RAM
(God Said you are not RAM)..
