P. Gurushanta

Bishop of Mysore

The greatest Christian saint At a Christian conference when the president, in the course of his address, asked, "Who is the greatest Christian saint?" none answered. And he announced that it was Mahatma Gandhi. Though a Hindu, by his firm faith in the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man, he has revealed to us the Kingdom of God which our Lord Jesus came to establish on earth. Jesus said, "When a man loves God and loves man he enters the Kingdom of God." Gandhi has exemplified this in his life and work and has sacrificed his life for his countrymen. He was, we all know, deeply influenced by the sermon on the Mount.
