Mahatma Gandhi: Beloved children of God, as I walk along the sacred Ganges River, I ask the Sacred Mother to bless her children so that all may safely live and bathe in her holiness. She has suffered vast pollution and all kinds of wastes have been dumped in her. You must all work together to help the Ganges be restored to her original beauty and health.

The horrible, violent dissonance that nationalist Hindus are creating with minority Muslims cannot be tolerated or continued. Peace must be restored once again, as diverse peoples have lived together in India before. I always worked to bring your diverse populations together in precious and delicate harmony.

Too much dissension and separation are occurring, fueled by hatred and intolerance of the other — the stranger. You must work hard with each other to bring back welcome and hospitality to those who need repair and love. God, the Atman, will lead you to come together in unity and trust, which you can build.
