00:00Welcome to a new video. Today we're here on the city streets in a beautiful plaza.
00:07We're going to be doing some spiritual interviews and a topic we've come to ask about today.
00:13We've come to ask about a figure in history, a leader of the Hindu movement of non-violence.
00:23He was nominated five times for the Nobel Peace Prize, although he never actually received it.
00:29You can probably imagine what we're going to talk about. We're going to be talking about Mahatma Gandhi, the Hindu
00:34leader.
00:38What Mahatma Gandhi wanted to do was to free his people from English slavery and bring them peace.
00:47He always worked for peace, world peace. So that's all for now guys. Let's start the video and welcome.
00:54Hello. How are you? Hello. Hello. I wanted to ask you guys about Mahatma Gandhi, the spiritual leader of India.
01:01What could you tell us about Mahatma? He's Indian. I don't know.
01:07The truth is, honestly, he was a great speaker. I mean, because he rallied a lot of people.
01:12Yeah. Although right now, I think that even so, young people like us, we don't really know much because these
01:18are things that, well, aren't really explained or studied much anymore.
01:23Remember, not relevant nowadays. It's why we don't really know much either.
01:27And what do you think about the fact that he always advocated for peace?
01:31That's what we all should do. That's what we all should do, right? Yes.
01:35Man, peace is better than what, right? Of course, if you pray for peace, it can be a bad thing.
01:41So, he had his followers, he must have had a point.
01:44If any of you have something to add about Mahatma Gandhi, guys, besides what you've already said?
01:51No, honestly, no. No. We don't know much about him.
01:54You don't know much about his story, his legacy, the things he did? Nothing.
01:58Do you think he was ever nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for always advocating for peace?
02:03No, I don't think so. I don't know much about him, but I don't think so.
02:06He was nominated five times, but he didn't win any of them.
02:12For someone so influential, it seems strange to me.
02:15Hi. How are you?
02:17Hi. Hello. Very well.
02:19What could you tell us about the life, work and message of Mahatma Gandhi?
02:24Well, honestly, I know the basics, right? That he received the Nobel Prize, right? If I'm not mistaken?
02:30Well, he was nominated five times, but he never actually received it.
02:33Well, he was close.
02:35He was close.
02:36It's true. I mean, I've said it a lot, but not exactly about that.
02:39Yes. But anyway, when he came, he taught tolerance, right?
02:45Yes. Full respect. He had a hard life without, I think if I remember correctly.
02:50Like, I don't know if he was in jail or ended up there.
02:52He was sentenced to six years, but he got out after two years.
02:56Well, that's it, but basically world peace.
02:59He always advocated for peace, right? Yes. And what do you think were his methods to use non-violence? His
03:07methods of protest, so to speak?
03:09Well, respect and the use, the use of speech without discriminating against anyone, and without, so that no one would
03:17feel offended. Of course, of course. I mean, a speech that didn't include violence, because that's exactly what they're against.
03:24Yes, that's right. Another method he used was hunger strikes.
03:29That's true.
03:30And his longest fast lasted about six days. What do you think about this?
03:36Well, I think it's good. I mean, I see it as a sign of humanity, that there are still people
03:41who want to be cared for by others. Yes.
03:44But at the same time, since life is so unfair, objectively, I don't think it's going to have the result
03:50he wanted. But I do think it's important to do that. And honestly, I see it as an example to
03:56follow.
04:01Hello, how are you? Hi, I'm doing very well. What I was going to ask you, sir, is about the
04:07life, work, message and legacy of Mahatma Gandhi, leader of India.
04:13Well, well, I think he is, was a Buddha, right? Yes. Well, I don't know. I guess it would have
04:22to do with, well, peace and something like that.
04:24Yes. And I don't know, I don't know much more, honestly. He wasn't a Buddha, he was a Mahatma.
04:31Okay.
04:32Which means, Mahatma, which comes from Sanskrit. It means great and Atma, which means soul.
04:38Okay.
04:39And what do you think were his methods for advocating for peace?
04:44Uh, well, I don't know.
04:51Imitation?
04:52Yep.
04:53Uh, I don't know.
04:56I can't think of anything else.
04:58You can't think of anything else.
05:00One of the methods he used to advocate for peace was fasting.
05:04Uh-huh, uh-huh.
05:05He would fast, go on hunger strikes.
05:08What do you think about that, sir?
05:11Well, I don't know. I guess if it was effective, then that's good, but I don't know.
05:18All right.
05:20If you had anything else to add, sir, regarding what I've asked you.
05:23Uh-huh.
05:24Yes.
05:26Well, I don't know. Honestly, I didn't really have much idea about what he has done in the world or
05:32anything.
05:32And, well, it would be good to get a bit more informed, right?
05:36Hello. How are you?
05:37Hello.
05:37What I was going to ask you is about Mahatma Gandhi.
05:39Yes.
05:40What could you tell me about Mahatma?
05:42Uh, just whatever you know.
05:43He was a spiritual leader of India.
05:45Yes.
05:45Yes.
05:45Who always advocated for peace.
05:47Yes.
05:47What would you think about that?
05:50Well, I think he did a very important job because peace is, well, something that should
05:57always be advocated for and supported.
06:02And I don't know. I mean, I really am in favor of peace and always avoiding conflicts.
06:09Yes.
06:11His methods of protest and struggle were non-violent, as I mentioned to you, and to demonstrate he
06:17would go on hunger strikes and his longest fast lasted six days. What do you think about
06:22this?
06:23Well, yes, those are very extreme methods. Well, extremist, but it's true that, well, yes.
06:29I also, well, I believe in avoiding conflicts and the use of, well, not using violence to
06:40resolve these conflicts. And, well, I guess in that situation, it was the only way for
06:48their work to really have an effect.
06:51Okay.
06:52And for their struggle to have an effect.
06:54Okay.
06:55Well, if you have anything else to add, any advice to give to all the young people who are
06:59watching us or anything like that.
07:00Also really just following their example, don't get involved in conflicts without reason
07:06or cause and try to always, well, put conflicts into perspective and solve them through other
07:14means that aren't violence.
