Hindus have dependably draw motivation from every world instructor, saints, and even blessed men from every single religious perspective so Mahatma Gandhi wasn't an exception. Right in his early life, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi had been reading the Christian Bible to keep a promise he had made to his friend. And He found the Old Testament to a great degree troublesome going but the New Testament delivered an alternate impression, particularly the Sermon on the Mount which went straight to his heart. The verses about not opposing abhorrence but rather offering the other cheek and giving the shroud to one who requested one's jacket charmed him incalculable. They reminded him of something he had learned in his adolescence about coming back with joy useful for detestable done. Be that as it may, sermon on the mount was impacted by Hinduism. Additionally, Gandhi stated, "I would turn into a Christian on the off chance that it was not for Christians". Gandhi respected Christ, however, knew his supporters to be a group of contemptuous, judgmental charlatans.
