#Ahimsa Express
.
~~~ The Messenger of Peace and Non-Violence ~~~
....
more...

#Name: Ahimsa means non-violence. It means kindness and non-violence towards all living things including animals; it respects living beings as a unity, the belief that all living things are connected. Avoidance of verbal and physical violence is also a part of this principle. Hence it is said that “Ahimsa Paramo Dharma” meaning Non-Violence is the Supreme Religion. Gandhiji was a staunch follower of the principles of Ahimsa. Throughout his life, Gandhiji followed the principles of Ahimsa to fight injustice. Gandhiji lived in Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad. Since the train connects Ahmedabad to Pune, it has been aptly named as Ahimsa Express as a tribute to Gandhiji.
