Gandhi Smriti

Mahatma Gandhi spent 144 days of his life as a guest of his ardent follower and the great industrialist Shri G D Birla in his house at Albuquerque Road, now known as Tees January Marg. The old Birla House is now Gandhi Smriti – the site of Martyrdom of Mahatma Gandhi for truth and non-violence.

After the political independence of India on 15th August 1947 from foreign rule, Mahatma Gandhi was committed towards the true liberation of the people of the country. India needed a social system without exploitation of man and nature. Gandhi left us with the challenge of the vision of Sarvodaya – the re-awakening of the spirit in harmony with nature and environment for all life.

On 30th January 1948 in the prayer ground here, the assassin’s bullets ended the physical existence of this man and made him immortal.

Representing truth, compassion and non-violence, Mahatma Gandhi belongs to the entire humanity. Millions of people and the world citizens visit Gandhi Smriti for spiritual inspiration, and in search of their own truth.

Homage to the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi is homage to the greatest spiritual and creative flows of man and nature of the past and the present that have kept the spark of eternal love glowing in each one of us.
