"There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for.

- Mahatma Gandhi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi or better known as Mahatma Gandhi was born on 2nd October 1869 at Porbandar in Gujarat. A prayer meeting is held at Rajghat, Mahatma Gandhi's samadhi in New Delhi. To mark the respect that Mahatma Gandhi had for all the religions and communities, representatives from different religions take part in it. Verses and prayers are read out from the holy books of all the religions. Gandhi's favourite song, Raghupati Raghava, is invariably sung at all the meetings associated with him. Prayer meetings are held in various state capitals as well. Throughout his life, Gandhi remained committed to non-violence and truth even in the most extreme situations.
