Mani Bhavan





Mani Bhavan is a memorial for Mahatma Gandhi, the most important freedom fighter of India. It is located in Mumbai, alongside a small lane. It is also where Gandhi used to live when he came to Mumbai.

He did not have 'Mahatma' in his name. It literally means 'great soul' and was given by the people when he came back from South Africa. His actual name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi or M.K.Gandhi.

This place was also where he launched the Satyagraha act in March, 1919. He had a lot of association with Mani Bhavan. He also had a major library over here which had over 50,000 books.

They had a small auditorium which showed his speeches and important scenes in his life. There was also a picture gallery which showcased the different stages in his life. It was really nice. He also  had a letter from Einstein telling his famous line; 'Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth' to Gandhi.

The best part of this place, I think was the story of Mahatma Gandhi in a miniature form. I really loved that part. This story was told in 28 tables.

 It is highly recommended to go here, if you have time.
