Whatever be the occassion we try to associate it with SriSriAnna. It is Gandhi Jeyanthi today. SriSri has always talked very high of Gandhiji in his upanyasam's. Once he said "kaiyile kambum vayile rama namum kondu sudandiram vangi koduthar " ( He got us freedom just by having a stick in his hand and rama nama in his mouth) Gandhiji read the Bagavatham everyday. SriSri had been to the Gandhi memorial and the Bagavatham book he had been reading was displayed . The page he had read last before being shot was kept open. SriSri looked at the book and found that Gandhiji had read "Gajendra Moksham" the day before being shot !!. SriSri would tell how high he felt about Gandhiji that day seeing the book. SriSri used to say that he fully deserved being referred to as "Mahathma Gandhiji"
