Let’s remember India’s Father Gandhi Mahatma,
Ahimsa he taught representing Almighty Paramatma,
Harish Chandra’s story turned his life around,
Making his fame reach world around,

His selfless sacrifice we should remember,
And make ourselves as charity member,
“Experiments with Truth” shows right direction,
To ensure everyone makes necessary correction,

Let's invoke the Gandhi within us,
Contribute something to world around us.

We thank all the well-wishers for their heartfelt cooperation.
