Mahatma Gandhi taught : Non-violence (ahimsa)

The 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi gives us an opportunity to recall the four fundamental principles that Mahatma Gandhi taught: Truth (satya), non-violence (ahimsa), welfare of all (sarvodaya) and peaceful protest (satyagraha). These principles can hold people together and hence form the backbone of dharma, which means “to hold together”.
