Gandhiji (1) Is Change in India possible without An Ashram? Gandhiji fought from two Ashrams: Sabarmati and Wardha

Ashram can be defined as a "School of Change".

It is something more than a hub of activities. It is not like an office.

The people who ask others to change, have to first change themselves. It is not possible without an Ashram.

In ashram, Gandhiji himself led others by setting an example of himself. His followers also had to follow rules of Ashram. All had to wake up at 5AM and do manual work like sweeping cleaning..

That is why they could lead India.

Presently, Sabarmati Ashram and Wardha Ashram seem to have become monuments.

Do you see any Ashram  in India from where vibes of change are coming?
