Geocache Description:


A cache hidden close to the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Garden, within Arderne Gardens, Claremont.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British rule. He inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (from Sanskrit, meaning great-souled, or venerable), first applied to him in South Africa in 1914, is now used throughout the world.

 

Mahatma Gandhi spent 21 years, from 1893 to 1914 in this country, during which he developed the philosophy and practice of peaceful passive resistance. He struggled against prejudice and injustice in all its forms. His emphasis on legality and sustainable living was ahead of its time.

Environmental conservation was close to Gandhi’s heart, according to the inscription, Gandhi is noted as saying: 

“The world has enough for everyone’s need, but not for everyone’s greed”
