Mahatma Gandhi. Philosophy and Spiritual Development

The honorific 'Mahātmā' (great-souled or venerable) was first applied to Gandhi in South Africa.

Gandhi continued to develop and practice his philosophy of nonviolent resistance, influencing movements worldwide.

Gandhi was influenced by Christian ethics, such as 'Turn the other cheek' and 'Love thine enemy,' which aligned with his own principles of non-violence.

Gandhi's experiments with brahmacharya were part of his spiritual quest for purity and self-control.
