"Gandhi met a devout Christian at a vegetarian boarding house in London. He persuaded Gandhi to read the Bible in order to understand the true meaning of Christianity. Though Gandhi found the Old Testament hard to grapple with, the New Testament Gandhi states, “went straight to my heart” [1]. The Sermon on the Mount had a deep impact on Mahatma Gandhi."
