"Mahatma Gandhi, whose frail body was committed to the flames yesterday, is not dead. Like Christ of old, on the third day he has risen again, in answer to the cry of his people and the call of the world for the continuance of his guidance, his love, his service and inspiration.
May the soul of my master, my leader, my father, rest not in peace. Not in peace, my father, do not rest. Do not rest. Keep us to our pledge. Give us the strength to fulfill our promise, your heirs, your descendants, your students, guardians of your dreams, fulfillers of India’s destiny."
