I enjoyed BIOGRAPHY - MAHATMA GANDHI because it shows Gandhi in both his greatness and his humanness. I believe that Gandhi’s legacy is best preserved by remembering that he was, after all, only human. The sense I got from viewing this documentary is that the liberation of India from the British empire was just one aspect of Gandhi’s quest for truth, almost an outgrowth of his inner spiritual battles. I don’t think he set out to be “the Mahatma.” He even writes in his autobiography THE STORY OF MY EXPERIMENTS WITH TRUTH that the title “Mahatma” (meaning “great soul”) often caused him pain because he didn’t want to be seen as above others in stature or spiritual enlightenment.
There are several people interviewed in BIOGRAPHY - MAHATMA GANDHI, reporters, biographers, politicians, even the Dalai Lama provides some brief comments (he mentions that deep conviction is necessary in order to maintain a nonviolent movement). But the two interviews that make the strongest impact are those with Arun Gandhi, Grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and founder of the “M. K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence” headquartered in Memphis, TN., and Lady Pamela Hicks, daughter of Earl Mountbatten (the last Viceroy of India). Both Arun Gandhi and Lady Pamela Hicks comment on something the Mahatma is not often known for: a sense of humor. Hicks says that his humor was almost “wicked,” and Arun comments that the Mahatma got a good laugh out of the fact that some reporters made fun of him for supposedly looking like a monkey. “‘Here’s your monkey,’ Grandfather would say.”
Frail, brown skinned and dressed in a simple loin cloth, who is this man that broke the yoke of British colonialism and inspired a warrior of non-violence, Martin Luther King, Jr.? We know him as Mahatma Gandhi, Truth’s Penetrating Light in a world of darkness. But he was more than that as is shown in this documentary of his life.
Gandhi was by no means a genius but grew up as a boy filled with ego and selfishness as all young people. There wasn’t anything remarkable about him as he followed the normal course of an Indian man and British Colonial subject. A move to South Africa and a spiritual experience coupled with political action did some things to this young householder.
On his return to India, Gandhi became a force to be confronted. His power didn’t come through an army or pure political actions but through spiritual enlightenment. It is this power of Gandhi which impacts all of India.
I enjoyed this chronicle because it shows a man who wasn’t perfect but was willing to experiment with his life to achieve oneness with God and at the same time freeing his people. You see a Gandhi with all of the faults of men but also his work in overcoming those pieces of him that got in the way. His story is the story of India and cleary shows might doesn’t make right. What is mistakenly perceived as weakness (spirituality) is indeed a strength. Join with Gandhi in his experiment with truth and see how the forces of evil can be subdued by Love.
