[QUOTE="Ishraqiyun, post: 57872020, member: 280646"] I believe he did write some things that could easily be seen as prejudicial toward black people in his early years in South Africa. He later outgrew that and embraced humanity as a whole. His later thought helped influence the American civil rights movement and one of it's greatest figures Martin Luther King Jr. That's a rather common practice among Tantrikas. It was intended to instill a love that transcended the merely physical and also a way to fight the battle against passions on their home turf. It's a fairly advanced technique and can be very dangerous. In Tantra such rites are forbidden to those of Pashu / animal nature and are generally practiced by the more stable and spiritually advanced Vira / hero nature people. I've also read of similar practices among the troubadours and certain initiatic groups in the West as well. It's not really my cup of tea but if that is the "worst thing" about Gandhi it really doesn't change my opinion about him at all. [/QUOTE]
