The Charkha
influenced million others

yarns tied the like-minded,
resolute minds weaved
attires of courage.

Prison walls proved incapable
to contain non-violence.

One man
had lovingly sewn
ethos of life
on the banks of Sabarmati,

Shots fired on 30th January, 1948,
could not stop
the tranquil flow

.

Author: Arunansu [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21:10:52 01/27/08 Sun Thanks for your inputs. Charkha was not invented by Gandhi, his movement started with symbolical rotation of the Charkha, aimed at spinning yarns to make people self-dependent.Cherkha was always there, only Mahatma showed the people the power behind it. Cheers. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: andy [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 04:47:12 01/28/08 Mon Nicely done. You seem to be a very spiritual writer. One who digs into the essence of the soul and provides us glimpses of a world that many of us are not generally exposed to. Your poetry adds much to our domain. Vey much enjoyed this! thanks, andy [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
