Ramadhun

 

Gandhiji said that those who had some experience knew the power what the Ramadhun, meaning recital of God's name from the heart, meant. He knew the power what lakhs of soldiers marching in step to the tune of their band meant. The desolation that the military prowess had wrought in the world, he who ran could see. Though the war was said to have ended, the aftermath was worse than actual warfare. Such was the bankruptcy of military power.

 

Without the slightest hesitation he was there to content that the power exerted by the Ramadhun recited by millions of mankind with true beat of time, was different in kind from and infinitely superior to the display of military strength. And this recital of God's name from the heart, would produce lasting peace and happiness in the place of the present desolation, they witnessed.
