What an honor to receive a personal tour of the National Gandhi Museum with its director, Mr Annamalai. The library of works by and about Gandhi was itself extraordinary, including 150 vols of G’s personal newspaper clippings about the struggle in South Africa and India.

Aside from photographs, the museum includes a collection of spinning wheels, personal effects (including Gandhi’s sandals and walking stick), and even a reconstruction of his heart beat (from old ekg records) that you can listen to.

I left with wonderful gifts: a digital Gandhi library (20 books by G, 10 books about him, a documentary film, audio recordings, 100 photos, etc, all on a flash drive), plus my very own Gandhi pocket watch!

I appreciate this memorial about my father by @ggrenwald above any I have read today--for his comprehensive review of his bio & history, for his attention to themes generally overlooked about his post-Vietnam life, but particularly for deep appreciation of his human qualities.🙏
