Gandhi was a peacemaker who fought peacefully in nonviolent ways to gain rights for Indians suffering under British rule. He was also an intellectual who had a deep connection with his faith and deep empathy for others and their situations. He also brought new ideas of peace and love that many people considered weak. He was able to unite many people from various backgrounds and religions in peace in love. He was able to help many people in his lifetime; even though he struggled with life himself. But most importantly he a deep respect for all.

Gandhi incorperated these ideas in his movement and his personal beliefs:

Satyagraha: truth force, civil disobedience

Ahimsa: no harm, value the sacred, mindful, dignity, sacrafice

Brahmacharya: religious practice, discipline, purity, courage

Religious Beliefs:
Gandhi believes that there is an underlying power that shines through everything and this is shown through his quote, "It is the unseen Power, which makes itself felt and yet defies proof, because it is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses."

There is also a believe that just because you are religious doesn't mean that you have to "religiously" conform to all the laws. You can pick and choose what you want to practice and or believe. "I do not mean formal religion, or customary religion, but that religion which underlies all religions, which brings us to face with our makers."

Faith is different to everyone and it not like and organized religion. What every has faith in or believes is up to themselves. You don't have to go on retreats or pilgrimages to have faith in yourself or in God. Gandhi says, "Faith is a kind of sixth sense, which works in all cases that are without the purview of reason."
