A journalist asked him, have you brought any message for Chief Minister Narendra Modi? To this Vajpayee replied in his inimitable style, ‘I would only say that he should follow Raj Dharma. These words are very meaningful. I am following the same and trying to follow. There can be no distinction between the subjects for the king or the ruler, neither on the basis of birth, nor on the basis of caste and community….” However, soon after this, Atal ji said that he believed that Narendra Modi should follow his Rajdharma. are doing.

Vedic Rajdharma system

The meaning of Rajdharma is – ‘Religion of the king’ or ‘Duty of the king’. The name of this lesson is ‘Raj Dharma’, how the ruling class has to run the country. The Vedas are the core of the teachings of Rajdharma.

Vidur Prajagar and Shantiparva of Mahabharata, the famous book Arthashastra composed by Chanakya also have a lot of explanation of Rajdharma, Swami Dayanand Saraswati has also written in detail on Rajdharma in Satyarth Prakash. There is a festival of the same name in the Mahabharata, in which Rajdharma has been discussed in detail.

Rajdharma has been discussed in the 7th chapter of Manusmriti.

पुत्र एव पितृगृह विषये यस्य मानवः।

निर्भय विचरिष्यन्ति सा राजा राजसत्तम॥

यथा पुत्रः पित्रग्रहे विश्रामये यस्य मानवाः।

निर्भय विचरिष्यन्ति सहित राजा राजसत्तम॥

In Manusmriti, punishment is the king and punishment is the ruler of the people, the protector of all subjects that is why wise people call punishment as religion. If the king wears the punishment with good intention, it makes all the subjects happy and if it is used without thinking, it destroys the king from all sides.

Chanakya was the general secretary of Chandragupta Maurya. He is also known as Kautilya or Vishnugupta. Being the son of father Shri Chanak, he was called Chanakya. Vishnugupta, a great scholar of diplomacy, economics, politics and due to the ‘devious’ ‘good use’ of his great knowledge, in creative works like public welfare and building a united India; It is called Kautilya.

Rajdharma is discussed in Kautilya’s Arthashastra.

प्रजासुखे सुखं राज्यः प्रजानन च हिते हितम्।

नटमप्रिय प्रिया राज्यः प्रजाना तु प्रियं प्रियं॥ (अर्थशास्त्र 1/19)

(That is, the happiness of the king is in the happiness of the people, his interest is only in the interest of the subjects. The king has nothing to do with his own interest, only the interest of the subjects is his interest.)

तस्मत् स्वधर्म भूतानां राजा न व्यभिचारयेत्।

स्वधर्मसंधानो हि भूत मुख न नंदति॥ (अर्थशास्त्र 1/3)

 (That is, the king should not allow the people to deviate from his religion. The king should also follow his religion. The king who follows his religion in this way, remains happy in this world and the next.) Religion of the king It is the land of war. I have not only to kill my enemies but also to save my subjects

According to Mukherjee (2013), good governance has been called Rajdharma in Indian scriptures. Rajdharma was the “code of conduct” or “rule of law” that was superior to the will of the ruler and governed all his actions (Kashyap, 2010). Rajdharma code of conduct i.e. good governance which is mentioned in ancient Indian scriptures like Bhagavad Gita, Vedas, Mahabharata in Sanskrit and Pali, Shantiparva, Nitisara, Ramayana, Arthashastra, Digha Nikaya, Jataka. It is the basic right of all the citizens to get good governance from the government and the government is bound for it.

सर्वे धर्म सोपधर्मस्त्रायणं रण्यो धर्मादिति वेदचुनोमि

एवम धर्मन राजधर्मेषु सरवन सर्वस्तम सम्प्रलिनन निबोध

The essential functions of the state in the form of ethical behavior and moral standards are required for good governance as described in the Atrisanhita:

दुष्टस्य दण्ड सुजानस्य पूजा न्यायेन कोषस्य च संप्रविधि
अपेक्षापथोर्तिर्शु राष्ट्ररक्षा पंचैव यज्ञ कथिता नृपन्नम

In the above verse, five selfless duties have been mentioned which should be performed by the king [state]. (Trisanhita-28).

Kautilya has also included the above principles in the Arthashastra:

प्रजासुखे सुखं राज्य प्रजानन च हिते हितम्
नातम्प्रियं हितं राज्य प्रजनम तु प्रियं हितम्
That is, the happiness of the king lies in the happiness of the subjects.

The duties of the citizens as well as of the government are:

Raj Dharma and Vyavahar Dharma are two sides of the same coin, where the king and the subjects have to follow Dharma – honestly and conscientiously which will result in good governance (Jois, 2017).

Before independence, Rajpath was known as King’s Way and Janpath as Queen’s Way.

After independence, the name of Queens Way was changed to Janpath. While the King’s Way came to be known as Rajpath. After completion of 75 years of independence, it has now been renamed as Kartavya Path. The central government believes that the Rajpath reflects the idea of a king who rules over the ruled. Whereas in a democratic India, the public is supreme. The change in name is an example of public dominance and its empowerment.

“One should behave according to the scriptures” (Bhagavad-gita, Chapter XVI, verse 24).

अक्रोध सत्यवचनम संविभाग क्षमा तथा

प्रजना शेषु दारेषु शौचमद्रोह अव च

आर्जवं ब्रुत्यभरणं नवैते सर्ववर्णिका 

“Truth, being free from anger, sharing wealth with others (portfolio), forgiveness, begetting children from one’s wife alone (sexual morality), chastity, absence of enmity, straightforwardness and maintaining persons dependent on oneself are the nine rules.” religion of persons of all varnas” (Mahabharata Shantiparva 6-7-8).

finsindia.org has also thrown light on secularism as religion, king’s responsibilities as supreme court, equality, unity etc.

Supremacy of religion

Merely creating a monarchy was not enough, Dharma was a force superior to the king, created to enable the king to protect and give to the people. The definition of religion is as follows:

तदेतत क्षत्रस्य क्षत्रं युधर्मा, तस्मध धर्मत्परं नास्त्य

अथो अबलियान बलियान समाशमसते धर्मेना, यथा राज्य एवम 

“Dharma is the king of kings. None is superior to Dharma; Dharma aided by the power of the king enables the weak to dominate the strong” (Brhadaranyaka Upanishad 1-4-14)

धर्मनिरपेक्षता के रूप में धर्म :

The right to practice one’s religion was recognized in the Raja Dharma Pashandanaigam Category Poovvrata Ganadishu, Prasavratsamayam Raja Durge Janapada (Narada Smriti ( Dharmakosha P-870)

In India where the Vedas were considered supreme, non-believers in the Vedas were to be protected in the same way as those who believed in the Vedas, indicating that under Raj Dharma, religion is secular (Jois, 2017)

Equality: “No one is superior (ajyastaso) or inferior (aknishtas). All are brothers (ete bharatarah). Everyone should strive for the benefit of all and make progress collectively (saubhagyas samva vridhu). ( Rigveda Mandala-5, Sukta-60, Mantra-5)

Everyone has an equal right to the commodities of food and water. The yoke of the chariot of life is placed equally on everyone’s shoulders. All must live together supporting each other, like the axle of a chariot wheel connecting its rim and hub” (Atharvaveda-Sangyan Sukta).

Governance and Equality in Ramayana: Despite there being no written constitution of Ramarajya, the citizens had the right to equality and the path of development was open to all. All were equal in the eyes of the law.

Governance and Equality was also present  in the Mahabharata as Ramayan.

All the Hindu scriptures, including the Vedas, have not only called suicide (Fidayeen)a sin, but have also called it an insult to God. This truth is understood by the leadership and people of beloved India. Therefore, it is the duty of the Vedic leadership and the public to move from least suicide to zero suicide.

The Vedas declare – Prajnanam Brahma, Aham Brahmasmi, Tattvamasi, Ayam Atma Brahma, Sarva Khalvidam Brahma Tajjalanithi i.e. Brahman is the Supreme Consciousness, I am Brahman, you are Brahman, this soul is Brahman and this whole visible world is Brahman form, because this world arises from Brahman only. ‘Atmavat Sarvabhuteshu’ consider all living beings as your soul. Shankar resides in pebbles that are why killing of living beings is considered as ‘Brahmhatya’.

Sanatan Dharma is the oldest religion of the world, the proof of this is the Vedas. Vedas are a unique work of Vedic period’s oral tradition, which has been going on from generation to generation since last 6-7 thousand AD. Meditation and salvation are the gift of Nirvana i.e. Zero Zero o Bharat i.e. Sanatan Hindu Dharma.

For the Vedic people, life is God. Along with doing the work, necessary rules are also needed.

There are 4 purusharths of life- Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. For this, discipline and performance of duty is necessary. Sanatan Dharma has bound every activity of man in scientific law. Vedic prayer and meditation and social service to the country is also our religion. In Atharvaveda, there is a collection of many mantras related to happiness-wealth, health, destruction of enemies etc. is one of them:

यथा द्यौश्च पृथिवी च न बिभीतो न रिष्यतः। एवा मे प्राण मा विभेः।।1।

Just as the sky and the earth are neither afraid nor destroyed, so is my soul! You too be free from fear. Never have any kind of fear. It is necessary to have boldness with restraint. Have fear only of God.

In Atharvaveda, there is a collection of many mantras related to happiness-wealth, health, destruction of enemies etc. All this is the art of life.

There are mainly two types of religions in the world. One action-oriented and the other faith-oriented. Hindu religion is karma-oriented, Non-hindu means non-conservative religion is faith-oriented. Jain, Buddhist, Sikh all these three are under Sanatan. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, all these three are under non-Hindu religion. Hindu religion gives complete freedom to people to believe and worship God or Gods and Goddesses according to their belief and if they do not have faith then they should not believe or worship them. There is no such freedom in non-Hindu religion. RSS chief Shri Mohan Bhagwat’s recent statements and meetings with Christian and Muslim religious leaders are proof of this.

The friendly and intimate relationship that Narendra Modi ji has with the heads of Christian and Muslim countries of the world is also proof that Vasudhaiva Kutumkam is the motto of Vedic people, acceptance of co-existence.

Sarve Bhavantu Sukhin: Sarve Santu Niramaya:

Sarve Bhadrani Pashyantu Ma Kashchit Dukh Bhagbhavet.

Ayam Nij: Paroveti Ganana Laghuchetsam.

Udaarcharitana Tu Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.

सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिन: सर्वे सन्तु निरामया:

सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चित दु:ख भाग्भवेत।।

अयं निज: परोवेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्।

उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम।।

Generosity and tolerance are in our hearts. India is the only country where its diversity is the reason for its unity. The reason for unity in diversity is due to the tolerance and generosity of Hinduism.

The rights and duties that have been told after understanding every field and nature of life are based on psychology and science only. Vedic people believe in reincarnation. Vedic people believe in reincarnation. In the 22nd verse of the second chapter of Shrimad Bhagwad Gita, it is said- ‘Just as a man discards old clothes and wears new clothes, in the same way this soul also puts on a new body leaving the old body.’ It is said in the 5th verse of the fourth chapter- ‘O Arjuna, many births have passed for me and you. The only difference is that I know them all, but oh Parantap! You don’t know him.’

Vedic religion and the secular India that believes in it is not expansionist. We believe that there is Shankar in every pebble, that is, there is God in every particle. It does not mean that every particle should be worshipped. This means that there is life in every particle. Trees also breathe and creepers too. The secrets and effects of every element of nature have been revealed in the Vedas.

Charity in Puranas: King Rantidev got food after being hungry for 40 days, even then he was happy to give that food to the hungry guest who came to the shelter. Dadhichi gave even his bones to protect the gods, Shiv ji drank poison, Karna donated armor and earrings, This is the Vedic eternal tradition of India Hinduism i.e. Sanatan Dharma is considered to be the oldest religion in the world. The aim is – let us make the whole world great:

Suicide is considered reprehensible in Vedas and other religious texts, because according to religion one gets life after many births. In such a situation, he should live fully, should not end it before time and should do some good work for human welfare. There is mention of 84 lakh Yonis in Padma Purana, animals, birds, insects, humans, trees, plants etc together make 84 lakh Yonis.

In Atharvveda Twaan Mrityurdayatam Ma Pra Meshtha: May death protect you and you do not die prematurely. In the Atharvaveda itself, by saying Ut Tawan Mrityorpipar, the God of the Vedas has given a message, O living soul, I lift you up from death. By saying Mrityo Ma Purushvadhi, the Vedas gave a message that O Death, do not kill a man prematurely.

Human birth is rare, body is not repeated,

Taruvar as soon as the leaves fall, the daughter-in-law doesn’t feel scared

Meaning: Kabirdas ji says that it is very rare to get a human birth, this body is not found again and again, just like a leaf that has fallen from a tree cannot be put back on the tree.

Why human life is rare? Because life is given only once and who knows when what other birth will happen.

Lord Buddha has even said that ‘the one who is to be born in the form of a human being, he also gives happiness to the deities.’

According to the Bhagavad Gita, the ultimate aim of human life is to become a pure devotee of Krishna. Even those who practice Jnana Yoga or Ashtanga Yoga eventually understand this. Therefore, we should properly utilize our human life and engage in devotional service to Krishna without any material motive, as stated in the Bhagavad Gita. Karma Yoga is said to be the best in the Gita, even better than Sankhya or Bhakti Yoga. So do your work without attachment and desire for the fruit.

“After many births and deaths, one who is truly in knowledge, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes, takes refuge in Me. Such a great soul is rare.”

Bhagavad Gita 7.19

The contemplation of Vedanta leads the rare human life towards excellence. The sutras of the Indian Vedas and Upanishads are relevant in every age. It is a proof of the glory of the great men of the country that even today the flow of good deeds continues.

It has been said in Rigveda that we should also become great and make the whole world great.

..Yatha Dyoscha Prithivi Cha na Bibhito na Rishyatah. Ava me Prana Ma Vibhe: 1. – Atharvaveda.

Meaning: Just as the sky and the earth are neither afraid nor destroyed, so is my soul! You too be free from fear.

Where physical diseases arise from fear, mental diseases also arise and from this the feelings of suicide or mass murder have arisen. , A scared person never develops in any way. It is necessary to have boldness with restraint. Have fear only of God.

According to Adi Jagadguru Shankaracharya, three graces are very rare, human body, mumuksha means hunger to get God and the third is the meeting of a great man. Out of this, the meeting of human body is the rarest. Gods and Goddesses also yearn to get it. Because only human life is based on knowledge and action. Gods also have knowledge, but they do not have the right to act. If we do not use the power of knowledge in the right direction, that is, for charity, then it will be misused.

This human body is attained only by the grace of God. God’s pastimes are infinite, that’s why sometimes salvation is attained in other forms also by the grace of God, but the opportunity for salvation is with the human only.

The body is not like a man. Dear for this bin.

Bade Bhag Manush Tanu Pava. Sur rare, all books are not villages.

In Vedic texts, a verse has been written for a person who commits suicide, which is as follows…

Asurya name te loka blind tamasavrita. टास्ते प्रेट्याभिगच्छन्ति ये की चत्महनो जनाः।

Means: After death, suicidal people go to the world called Asurya, full of ignorance and darkness, inferior to the light of the sun.

According to the scriptures, the problems for which a person commits suicide can be solved if he is alive, but by committing suicide a life of endless suffering begins. They have to suffer the punishment for repeatedly breaking the rules made by God.

Garuda Purana says that one has to bear the consequences of one’s deeds. Even if you try to escape from life, you cannot avoid them, but the consequences of suicide are more painful. Suicide cannot bring salvation in any way. In Vishnu Purana, Shri Krishna has given the knowledge to do spiritual practice for attaining salvation and not to commit suicide.

Regarding what is the punishment for suicide, Garuda Purana says that the soul of the person who commits suicide hangs in limbo as a punishment. Suicide is reprehensible, because according to religion, one gets human life after many lives, in such a situation, it is foolish and a crime to waste it. That is why the life that happens after committing suicide is more painful.

Lord Krishna gives the same message to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita: Renounce attachment, stand up for action, leave attachment, have equanimity in happiness and sorrow, a person has the right in action, not in the fruit. This

That is, be it Ramayana or Geeta, the establishment of religion and the destruction of demons is the main reason for God’s incarnation.

Saint Tulsidas ji has said about the human body.

“Bade bhaag manush tan pava, sur durlabh sad granthanhi gava.

By doing Sadhna Dham Moksha, I did not get the hereafter.

This human body is very important, because it is the instrument through which we can improve our hereafter, this human body is also the door to salvation. ,

“Sadhaan Dham Moksha Kar Kar.”

The context of “Ram Gita” is that after attaining human life, engaging in sensual desires is foolishness like taking poison instead of nectar, and no one says this is good, as-

Nartanu Pai Bisay Man Dehi. When Sudha turned around, she took sixty poisons.

That’s why sometimes I say that someone. Lost the echoes of the planets.

Suicide (Latin suicidium, from sui caedere, meaning “to kill oneself”) is the act of intentionally causing one’s own death.

We can achieve anything by doing work only through the human body. This human life is capable of giving everything:

hell heaven apavarga niseni. Giving complete happiness without knowledge.

Therefore it is proved that there is no body like a human being, which even the gods pray for.

′′ Male is not equal to female body.

The one who does not decorate his other world even after getting this unfortunate human body, nothing happens in his fate except regret and he suffers.

By doing Sadhan Dham Moksha. Don’t get where the other world is decorated.

I got sorrow in my life, I bowed my head and repented.

Since it is by the great grace of God that we get this human body-

Why do you have mercy on the human body? Det eis binu het snehi.

For this reason, to what extent it is wise to let this body indulge in sensual pleasures, even heaven is for a short time and in the end one has to suffer.

Brother, this is not the subject of the fruit of the body. Heaven’s short end is sad.

Suicide (Latin suicidium, from sui caedere, meaning “to kill oneself”) is the act of intentionally causing one’s own death. Suicide bombers and fidayeens are also included in this. Pakistan is the founder of fidayeens and suicide bombers.

What kind of mother is this Pakistani terrorist! Congratulations on the killing of the terrorist’s son, you are brave. you are courageous May Allah give you Jannaht!

Suicide, especially in the form of Fidayeen attacks, is a deeply concerning issue that has been plaguing many countries in recent years. Fidayeen, which translates to “one who sacrifices oneself,” is a term used to describe individuals who carry out suicide attacks as part of a larger terrorist operation.

While the motivations behind Fidayeen attacks can be complex and multifaceted, it is important to remember that taking one’s own life is considered a sin in many religious traditions, including Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.

In Christianity, suicide is generally considered a sin, as it is viewed as an act of despair and a rejection of God’s gift of life. The Catholic Church, for example, considers suicide to be a mortal sin, meaning that it is a deliberate and grave offense against God that could lead to eternal damnation. Other Christian denominations hold similar views, emphasizing the importance of valuing human life and seeking help and support in times of crisis.

In Judaism, suicide is also viewed as a serious transgression, as it goes against the belief in the sanctity of life. The Talmud, a central text of Jewish law and tradition, teaches that taking one’s own life is equivalent to shedding blood, and is thus forbidden. This prohibition against suicide is also reflected in Jewish law, which emphasizes the importance of preserving life and seeking help in times of distress.

It is important to note that these religious teachings do not simply condemn suicide as a sin, but also emphasize the value of life and the importance of seeking help and support in times of crisis. While the motivations behind Fidayeen attacks can be complex and multifaceted, it is crucial to remember that taking one’s own life is not a solution to any problem, but rather a tragedy that causes immense pain and suffering to those left behind.

Furthermore, Fidayeen attacks are not just a sin against God, but also a horrific act of violence that causes harm to innocent individuals and communities. These attacks often target civilians and are carried out with the intention of creating fear and instability. They represent a complete disregard for the sanctity of life and the value of human dignity.

In conclusion, suicide, especially in the form of Fidayeen attacks, is a sin and an insult to God in many religious traditions. It is important for individuals and communities to recognize the value of life and seek help and support in times of crisis, rather than resorting to violent and destructive actions. By doing so, we can work towards creating a more peaceful and just world for all.

Mass murders also fall in this category. An example of mass suicide is the “Johnstown” cult suicide in 1978, in which 918 members of the Peoples Temple, an American cult led by the Jimjohns, ended their lives by ingesting grapefruit juice flavored with cyanide.

More than 10,000 Japanese civilians committed suicide by jumping from “Suicide Peak” and “Banzai Peak” in the final days of the Saipan War..

सरला रवींद्र एन टैगोर की भतीजी थीं। उनके पति और सुनील दत्त पीबी मोहयाल Punjabi Mohyal Brahmin थे। गांधी का फरवरी 1940 का एक प्रेम पत्र और उनके पति का जीवन परिचय भी इस ब्लॉग में है।

लेडी एडविना माउंटबेटन के साथ नेहरू के प्रेम संबंधों के बाद अब महात्मा गांधी के पोते ने बंगाली सरला देवी के साथ महात्मा गांधी के प्रेम संबंधों का खुलासा किया है, जिसका विवाह लाहौर के हिंदुस्तान पत्रिका के एक अन्य स्वतंत्रता सेनानी संपादक के साथ हुआ।

सरला देवी का एक बेटा है जिसका नाम दीपक चौधरी है। महात्मा गांधी ने इंदिरा के साथ दीपक की शादी के लिए पंडित नेहरू को प्रस्ताव दिया। लेकिन नेहरू ने प्रस्ताव को खारिज कर दिया। बाद में दीपक चौधरी ने महात्मा गांधी की एक बेटी से शादी की।  

सरला देवी के पति चौधरी राम भुज दत्त आर्य समाज, कांग्रेस और पत्रकारों में एक सम्मानित व्यक्तित्व थे। उनका संबंध पंजाब और हरियाणा के प्रसिद्ध मोहयाल वंश से था। इस सोसायटी की वेबसाइट में स्वर्गीय सुनील दत्त और उनकी पत्नी नरगिस का नाम भी सुनहरे शब्दों में शामिल है। 

जब वे जेल में थे तब महात्मा गांधी उनकी पत्नी की मेजबानी के रूप में उनके घर में थे। चौधरी अंग्रेजों के खिलाफ संघर्ष में भाग लेने के लिए जेल में थे और उनके आने के तुरंत बाद, गांधी – अब तक व्यक्तिगत ब्रह्मचर्य के लिए समर्पित थे – ने एक पत्र में लिखा: “सरला देवी का साथ बहुत प्यारा रहा है … वह मेरी बहुत अच्छी तरह से देखभाल करती करती रही हैं।” 

महात्मा गांधी के युवतियों के साथ नग्न सोने के उनके अनोखे प्रयोगों के तमाम पहलुओं का मनोवैज्ञानिक ढंग से विश्लेषण एक पुस्तक में किया गया कि महात्मा गाँधी के के ब्रह्मचर्य के पीछे बहुत से कारण रहे थे और ये कारण इतने मजबूत थे कि महात्मा का पूरा जीवन वासनाओं के खिलाफ संघर्ष में बीत गया। संभव है सरला जी के साथ उनके पति की अनुपस्थिति में रहना भी रहना भी ब्रह्मचर्य का एक प्रयोग हो।

‘द संडे टेलीग्राफ’ की एक रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, महात्मा गांधी 50 साल की उम्र में सुंदर लेखिका सरलादेवी चौधरी के प्यार में पड़ गए, जिससे उनके पारिवारिक जीवन और उनके काम को खतरा था, उनके पोते ने एक नई किताब में दावा किया है। राष्ट्रपिता की एक जीवनी में, राजमोहन गांधी ने लिखा है, “”I wanted to capture the real man in my book, so I couldn’t leave out this episode of my grandfather’s life.”

हालांकि उस समय लेखक – नोबेल पुरस्कार विजेता रवींद्रनाथ टैगोर की भतीजी – के साथ गांधी की दोस्ती के बारे में पता था, लेकिन तीन साल की महिला के साथ उनके संबंध का खुलासा नहीं किया गया था। अब तक। प्रतिभाशाली, अच्छी तरह से सूचित और प्रेरित, सरला देवी 29 वर्ष की थीं, जब गांधी ने पहली बार उन्हें 1901 में एक आर्केस्ट्रा का संचालन करते हुए देखा था, क्योंकि इसमें कांग्रेस के लिए लिखा गया एक गाना बजाया गया था, वह पार्टी जिसने अंततः भारत को स्वतंत्रता दिलाई।

लेकिन जब तक वह 47 वर्ष की नहीं हो गईं, और अखबार के संपादक राम भुज दत्त चौधरी से शादी कर ली, तब तक गांधी उनके प्यार में पड़ गए, जब वह लाहौर में युगल के घर में रह रहे थे, जो अब पाकिस्तान में है।

50 साल की उम्र में, चार बच्चों के विवाहित पिता, गांधी खतरनाक रूप से एक ऐसे प्रलोभन के शिकार होने के करीब आ गए, जिसने उनके परिवार और उनके जीवन के कार्य दोनों को खतरे में डाल दिया, सुंदर सरलादेवी चौधरी के प्यार में पड़ने के बाद, जो उनसे तीन साल छोटी थीं।

न तो महात्मा गांधी और न ही सरला देवी ने अपनी आत्मकथाओं में अपने प्रेम संबंधों के बारे में लिखा।

महीनों के भीतर, वह अपने पोते के अनुसार “आध्यात्मिक विवाह” के संदर्भ में अपने रिश्ते के बारे में सोच रहा था – जो मानते हैं कि वह अनिश्चित है कि उसके दादाजी का इससे क्या मतलब था। (Within months, he was thinking of their relationship in terms of a “spiritual marriage” according to his grandson—who admits he is unsure what his grandfather meant”

हर किसी ने एक ऐसी महिला के साथ गांधी के उलझने के आध्यात्मिक लाभों की सराहना नहीं की जो उनकी पत्नी नहीं थी। उनके बेटे देवदास – राजमोहन के पिता – ने अपने पिता महात्मा गाँधी से आग्रह किया कि वे सरला से संपर्क में रहना छोड़ दें। Author Rajmohan Gandhi writes in his new book: “He responded to letters written to him by my father Devdas and other leaders, especially Rajagopalachari asking him to come out of the matter.”
