Gandhi: The Legacy

New York, NY, March 31, 2008 --(PR.com)-- “Gandhi: The Legacy,” an exhibition featuring exceptional monochrome photographs, which have been kindly loaned from private collectors. These photographs capture private glimpses into the man, the legend—India’s Father of the Nation—how he lived, thought and acted, inspired by the vision of humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony.

This once-in-a lifetime exhibition offers a chance to observe a moment of history. About Gandhi: Mahatma Gandhi has inspired many of the world’s greatest political leaders and freedom fighters, including Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Abdul Gafar Khan who fought for equality following his dictums of ‘Ahimsa’ – non-violence and ‘Satyagraha’ - ‘clinging to truth.’ His sterling words of pacifism ring clear today: "There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for." Gandhi dedicated his life to the wider purpose of discovering truth, or Satya, and his pleas for peace inspired future international icons like John Lennon.

Exhibition opens to the public 10th of April and runs through 3rd of May.

Opening reception: 9th of April 2008 6:30 to 8:00 pm. RSVP - rsvp@tamarindart.com
