The best philosophy of life - Mahatma Gandhi is a towering figure in modern history, known primarily for his role in leading India to independence through nonviolent means. Yet, while his public image is often tied to Hinduism, the true nature of his spiritual philosophy is far more complex and nuanced. Gandhi was not simply a devout Hindu; he was a seeker of truth, influenced by multiple religious traditions, including Jainism, Christianity, Islam, and, significantly, Buddhism. The teachings of the Buddha—particularly the concepts of ahiṃsā (nonviolence) and karuṇā (compassion)—were instrumental in shaping Gandhi’s approach to both personal conduct and political activism.
