Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is said to be a "Father of the Nation"; Does he really deserve this title? Read what Godse had to say: http://ping.fm/eEtJz

Nathuram Godse' words on Why he killed Gandhi?

“ I don’t refute Gandhi’s theory of non-violence. He may be a saint but he is not a politician. His theory of non-violence denies self-defence and self-interest. The non-violence that defines the fight for survival as violence is a theory not of non-violence but of self-destruction.The division of the nation was an unnecessary decision. What was the percentage of the Muslim population as compared to the population of the nation? There was no need for a separate nation. Had it been a just demand, Maulana Azad would not have stayed back in India. But because Jinnah insisted and because Gandhi took his side, India was divided, in spite of opposition from the nation, the Cabinet. An individual is never greater than a nation.

In a democracy you cannot put forward your demands at knife-point. Jinnah did it and Gandhi stabbed the nation with the same knife. He dissected the land and gave a piece to Pakistan. We did picket that time but in vain. The Father of our Nation went to perform his paternal duties for Pakistan! Gandhi blackmailed the cabinet with his fast unto death. His body, his threats to die are causing the destruction — geographical as well as economical — of the nation. Today, Muslims have taken a part of the nation, tomorrow Sikhs may ask for Punjab. The religions are again dividend into castes, they will demand sub-divisions of the divisions. What remains of the concept of one nation, national integration? Why did we fight the British in unison for independence? Why not separately? Bhagat Singh did not ask only for an independent Punjab or Subhash Chandra Bose for an independent Bengal?

I am going to assassinate him in the open, before the public, because I am going to do it as my duty. If I do it surreptitiously, it becomes a crime in my own eyes. I will not try to escape, I will surrender and naturally I will be hanged. One assassination, one hanging. I don’t want two executions for one assassination and I don’t want your involvement, participation or company. (This was for Nana-Apte and Veer Savarkar as they were against ghandhi’s policies too, Godse wanted to assassinate gandhi all by himself and took promise from Nana Apte that he will continue helping Veer Savarkar in rebuilding India as a strong free nation.)

On January 30, I reached Birla Bhavan at 12 pm. Gandhi was sitting outside on a cot enjoying the sunshine. Vallabhbhai Patel’s granddaughter was sitting at his feet. I had the revolver with me. I could have assassinated him easily then, but I was convinced that his assassination was to be a punishment and a sentence against him, and I would execute him. I wanted witnesses for the execution but there were none. I did not want to escape after the execution as there was not an iota of guilt in my mind. I wanted to surrender, but surrender to whom? There was a good crowd to collect for the evening prayers. I decided on the evening of January 30 as the date for Gandhi’s execution.

Gandhi climbed the steps and came forward. He had kept his hands on the shoulders of the two girls. I wanted just three seconds more. I moved two steps forward and faced Gandhi. Now I wanted to take out the revolver and salute him for whatever sacrifice and service he had made for the nation. One of the two girls was dangerously close to Gandhi and I was afraid that she might be injured in the course of firing. As a precautionary measure I went one more step ahead, bowed before him and gently pushed the girl away from the firing line. The next moment I fired at Gandhi. Gandhi was very weak, there was a feeble sound like ‘aah’ (There are proof that Gandhi did NOT say “Hey Raam” at that time – it’s just made up stuff ) from him and he fell down.

After the firing I raised my hand holding the revolver and shouted, ‘Police, police’. For 30 seconds nobody came forward and I scanned the crowd. I saw a police officer. I signalled to him to come forward and arrest me. He came and caught my wrist, then a second man came and touched the revolver… I let it go…”

Navratri: The festival of Nine Nights... Find out its significance: http://ping.fm/3QFZ6

Navratri: The festival of nine nights (Nav=Nine; Ratri=Nights)

According to Hindu calendar, the festival of nine nights-Navratri starts from Ashvin sud 1 and goes until Ashvin sud 9 with the 10th day known as Vijayadashmi or Dusshera. Each night is dedicated to the nine forms of Goddess Durga and is celebrated with great faith and devotion. There are three different historical beliefs that lead the different types of celebration today in different parts of India.

Historical Significance of Navratri

One of the historical beliefs is related to the mighty demon, Mahishasur. Mahishasur worshipped Lord Shiv to gain the power of eternity. He then started harassing and killing innocent people with a goal to win all three lokas. Gods in those lokas appealed to Lord Shiv to find a way to get rid of such demon. To protect the world from Mahishasur’s violence, the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh (Shiv) united their powers and created a divine female warrior who is known as Goddess Durga. Mahishasur was mesmerized by her beauty and approached her with an intention of marrying Goddess Durga. Goddess Durga then put forth a condition that Mahishasur would have to win over her in a battle to marry her. Mahishasur agreed and the battle continued for nine nights and at the end of the ninth night, Goddess Durga beheaded Mahishasur. These nine nights are known as Navratri while the tenth day is celebrated as Vijayadashmi (the tenth day of the victory of good over evil) in northern parts of India.

In Eastern part of India, the belief is associated to the King of the Himalayas, Daksha who had a beautiful daughter, Uma. Since her childhood, she wanted to marry Lord Shiv and in order to win over him, she worshipped him and was able to please Lord Shiv. King Daksha was not happy with the tiger-skin clad groom, Lord Shiv when he finally came to marry Uma. King Daksha broke off all the relationships with his daughter and son-in-law. A day came when King Daksha organized a yagna but did not invite Lord Shiv. Uma got angry and decided to end her life by jumping into the agnikund (Fire Pit). Since then she was known as Sati. However, Uma took re-birth and again won Lord Shiv as her groom and the peace was restored. Since then it is believed that every year Uma comes with Lord Ganesh, Kartik, Goddess Saraswati and Goddess Laxmi and two of her best friends, Jaya and Bijaya to visit her parents’ home during Navratri.


Another legend of Navratri is in regards to the Hindu epic, Ramayan. It is said that Lord Ram worshipped Goddess Durga in nine phases for nine days to gain strength and power to kill the almighty demon, Ravan. Lord Ram wanted to release his wife, Sita from Ravan’s control who had abducted her. Those nine nights are known as Navratri and the tenth day when Lord Ram killed Ravan came to be known as Vijayadashami or Dusshera signifying Lord Ram’s victory over Ravan (Victory of good over evil).

Celebration of Navratri in different parts of India

Gujarat: The most famous celebration of navratri is held in the western part of India especially in Gujarat. For nine nights, traditional dances in the form of Garba and Dandiya take place. Men and women wearing colorful traditional dresses, dance in circle around the lamp which signifies the eternal light of Goddess Durga. This dance is either performed by dancing around in circle by clapping the hands which is known as Garba or by decorated sticks which is called Dandiya. These dances are performed to the rhythm of the devotional songs.

Maharashtra: The celebrations in Maharashtra is little different. Navratri here is dedicated to Goddess Durga, while Vijayadashmi is devoted to Goddess Saraswati who is the Goddess of Knowledge. This day is considered to be the most auspicious to start education, buy new homes and start new ventures.

Tamil Nadu: The first three days here are dedicated to the worship of Goddess Laxmi, the Goddess of wealth and prosperity. Next three days are devoted to Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of learning and arts and the last three days are committed to Goddess Durga, the Goddess of power.

Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh: In these two states of south India, women arrange “Bommai Kolu” which is a special placing of dolls in various costumes decorated with flowers and ornaments on specially prepared steps.

West-Bengal: Navratri here is celebrated in the form of Durga Puja. It is celebrated with true dedication, huge idols of Goddess Durga posed as killing the demon, Mahishasur are worshipped. Huge ‘pandals’ (traditional tents) are set up and devotees in large numbers visit to worship Goddess Durga.

Punjab: The state in northern part of India. Here Navratri is celebrated by fasting for seven days and on the eighth day or on Ashtami the fast is broken.

Even though, Navratri is one festival, it has many different colors in terms of how it is celebrated; Yet it is celebrated with true devotion and dedication everywhere India.
