The Mahatma's Last Journey
As the chilled weather blanketed India with the fond memories of the most loved Bapu, the world closely looked at his last remains (ashes) in the golden urn that was in its final hours of display. What a way to mark Mahatma Gandhi's 60th death anniversary.
Mohandas
Karamchand
Gandhi,
also
known
as
the
Mahatma
or
Great
Soul
was
assassinated
by
Nathuram
Godse
as
he
was
walking
to
his
evening
prayer
at
the
grounds
of
Delhi's
Birla
House.
The
violent
death
of
a
man
who
steadfastly
preached
and
practiced
non-violence,
shocked
the
whole
wide
world.
A
political
scientist
describes
the
killing
as
the
last
'moral
assassination'
in
South
Asia.
.
While
the
assassinator
might
have
succeeded
in
taking
away
his
life
as
punishment
for
“desecrating
mother
India",
but
he
failed
to
kill
his
powerful
legacy
which
inspired
people
like,
Martin
Luther
King
and
Nelson
Mandela.
Even
after
60
years
his
popularity
remains
undiminished.
Mahatma Gandhi's ashes were returned by a Dubai businessman whose father had kept them for decades. His mortal remains were paid homage before they were scattered over the Arabian Sea this morning in th presence of Governor, the deputy chief minister and other dignitaries. By returning the ashes to the water, the Gandhi family believe they are fulfilling his own wishes that no part of him be kept for eternity.
It was believed that all of Mahatma Gandhi's ashes were meant to have been immersed in the river Ganges in 1948. But many of the urns were secreted away by his ardent lover and followers who wished to glorify him in death. The ashes were sent to towns and villages across the country and also abroad for memorial services. But some of them were never returned.
In August 2006, Bharat Narayan, a Dubai-based businessman, handed the ashes which had been with his parents since 1948 into the care of Mani Bhavan Gandhi Sangralaya. Narayan's parents Madalasaben and Shriman Narayan are stated to have been Mahatma's close associates in the past.
