Gandhi:Medicine Refusenik
(Peacemonger-Peacenik-Refusenik: Conscientious Objector)
Mahatma Gandhi was a blessing sent from the heavens. His lessons have not been quite understood by the major part of mankind. Some considered him a reactionary, who would refuse the use of medicine in the treatment of illnesses.

This quatrain refers to Mahatma Gandhi, the greatest pacifist leader greater of the 20th Century and certainly the greatest pacifist leader of all the times.
MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI was born on 02/10/1869, in Porbandar, a small city in the west coast of India. From a middle class family of
of the Vaishuya chaste - his grandfather and afterwards his father, Karamchand, had been prime ministers of Portbandar. But his character was mainly influenced by his mother, Putlibai, a gentile and devoted woman, a saint character. A short biography of Mahatma Gandhi can be found following this link.
The quatrain seems to indicate a conflict, or better, an ambush prepared by the English, in Jallianwala Bagh, Amristar, on 19-APR-1920, when their troops had shot in a disarmed multitude, killing 400 people. After that, Gandhi convokes a public meeting and declares three days of food abstinence. This was was his flag, which is cited in the third verse and that he used to keep the country under his orientation. Gandhi was imprisoned innumerable times, many of them without a judicial process. He spent six years of his life in the prison. At the beginning of his political activities he went to South Africa where he fought for the rights of the local resident Indians.
The third verse says that all would know his flag. It's the flag of the pacifism and non religious sectarism. Mahatma Gandhi was a blessing sent from the heavens. His lessons have not been quite understood by the major part of mankind. Some considered him a reactionary, who would refuse the use of medicine in the treatment of illnesses. However, his philosophy and personal knowledge of this Plane enabled him lead millions; as it said on the fourth verse, the flag of the pacifism and religious tolerance would have better to be remembered nowadays.
The fourth verse talks about the Pacifist that solved many times the religious and political conflicts his people and the Muslins by means of the his world wide known food's abstinence.
For Gandhi, what it mattered was the Real Divine Presence. He did not use empty words or fought for hidden interests, but he applied the correct way to feel, think and act. His philosophy was based mainly on the notion of that it is more important to be than to possess.
For many, Gandhi would be a reactionary. For us, an example to be followed.
