Lord Rama

The night was very dark and Mohan was quite frightened. He had always been afraid of darkness and believed that a ghost might attack him taking advantage of darkness. 

 And that night was so dark that one could barely see one's own hand.! Mohan had to go from one room to another.

As he stepped out of the room, his feet seemed to turn to lead and his heart began to beat faster and faster. Rambha, their old maidservant was standing by the door.

She asked with a laugh that why was he afraid so much.

Mohan answered that he was afraid!

She asked him the reason for his fright.

Mohan whispered in a terrified voice that he was afraid of ghosts and darkness.

Rambha patted Mohan's head affectionately and said to him to think of Lord Rama and then no ghosts would dare to come near him! Lord Rama would protect him!

Rambha's words gave Mohan courage. While repeating the name of Rama, he left the room. And from that day, Mohan never felt lonely or afraid. He believed that as long as Rama was with him, he was safe from any danger!

This faith gave Gandhiji strength throughout his life, and even when he died, the name of Lord Rama was on his lips!
