The Peaceful Steps In Memories. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

In my childhood memories
That I remember a messenger of peace
In khadi clad saffron dress
He walked along the streets
Visited the huts and small houses
Where the poor lived, deprived ones
Made them the touchable in society
Fought in legal terms approved
In my childhood memories
People taught me the history
Of the great soul of sacrifice
He was a man of values, virtuous
A follower of Gandhian principles
A man who bravely fought injustice
A reformer and sage in life itself
Gave education to the deprived lot
And tried his best to make them empowered
Anandatheertha the sage like crusader
The great messenger of peace now no more.
