Great find Rajesh.
Aurobindo was talking about Gandhi being influenced by christian ideas.
Now compare what Gandhi said about "ahimsa,sacrifice, and giving-up-your-lives" to what people saw in "Passion of Christ" film....so similar...
Perhaps with the luxury of I class Jails , it would be easy for Gandhi to be a christ , but not the poor folk of India...It indeed is spiritual imperialism to impose ones spiritual ideas on another , esp a whole nation.
I guess people who "followed" him share a little blame too.I cannot forget what Gandhi did for NSC Bose,Bhagat Singh and likes of Lala Lajpati Rai and a hundred others who died because of him.
