Gandhi Smriti - New Delhi, India - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

The sign reads:

"Gandhi Smitri

The national memorial honours
the virtues of truth, non-violence,
unity and equality.

The hallowed house, which treasures
many cherished memories of the last
days of Mahatma Gandhi now forms a
part of our national heritage. The
walls of the building reverberate
with his message, "All men are
brothers."

Gandhi's life and teachings have left
an indelible mark on human history
and the purpose of preserving this
memorial is to foster and propagate
his ideals. On the morning of
September 9, 1947 Gandiji arrived in
Delhi from Calcutta to purge the
city of the communal virus and to
'do or die. He planted himself alone
amidst the raging torrent and
listened to the tales of woe of the
embittered and uprooted. He
had stayed here several times in
the past but the last 144 days of his
life spent here are more important
in the nation's history. He has a
rich legacy of speeches and writings
during this period.

The epic life of the Father
of the Nation ended here on Friday,
January 30, 1948. He fell a martyr to
the bullets of the assassin on the
prayer ground with Rama's name on
his lips at 5:17 pm.

He was the victorious one in death
as in life."
