"In order for the chaplain to be used by God, the chaplain must rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance.
"Chaplains must have a good relationship with God and the Holy Spirit. A chaplain must allow the Holy Spirit to guide, teach, comfort, and protect in his or her own life. Having a good relationship with God enables the chaplain to help others. Sometimes the words the chaplain says to others will make the difference in life and death. Military people rely on the chaplain to guide them and to help them understand the promises of God."

Abstract
This paper explains that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, known as Mahatma Gandhi, utilized non-violence as the great "weapon of the strong", which he used to unite the Hindus and Muslim within India to gain independence from the British Empire. The author points out that, in his fight towards separation from the empire, he also fought for the rights of landless farmers and poor farm owners who were forced to grow Indigo or other cash crops, which were exported to the Empire, instead of food, causing mass hunger within these small communities. The paper states that Gandhi's influence within the Indian National Congress was almost indisputable because he was considered the father of India and the leader of the Hindu society.
From the Paper
"In 1893, he was offered a one year contract to practice as an attorney in Natal, South Africa, this experience launched his humanitarian campaign. Mohandas K. Gandhi life changed drastically when he went through many hardships and oppressive experiences through the courts and see the Indian population in South Africa.

From the Paper
"What is the Holy Spirit? What role does it play in the believer's life? Jesus knew the plans God had created for him. He knew that he would be leaving the disciples to go back to Heaven. Therefore, he sent a comforter. This comforter that Jesus promised was the Holy Spirit. It is important to look at the Hebrew and Greek word for spirit to understand the important role that the Holy Spirit played in the lives of the disciples and continues to play in the believers' lives. Jesus knew that believers needed help living in a wicked world. He promised the disciples a comforter to guide and direct them in living a Christian life. This promise can be found in John 14: 16-18, "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with your forever"."

Abstract
This paper examines the way in which Louis Fischer, in his book "Gandhi: His Life and Message for the World", points to Gandhi's imperfections, idiosyncrasies and ultimately his mighty effort in kicking out the British rule from India. The author further discusses Gandhi's very human frailties and how he overpowered those frailties. It looks at Gandhi's constant struggle to find the ideal way of living a Bramhachari life and his occasional and baffling inconsistencies. The paper concludes that Gandhi's efforts to incorporate the ideas pertinent to his reformist Hinduism from Shelley, the New Testament and the Kuran, made him deeply involved with the idea of desirelessness and non violence for which he will be remembered for decades to come.
From the Paper
"In the biography Gandhi: His Life and Message for the World, Louis Fischer traces the life of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi from birth to death in stages. Fischer tells briefly about Gandhi's earliest youth: his insecurities as a young boy, the influence of his mother's devotion to Hinduism on him, his struggle with the religious taboos and customs when he secretly consumes the forbidden goat meat from a Muslim friend, his marriage to Kasturbai at the age of thirteen."

"The Religious Symbolism of Spirit
Introduction
In its widest sense, all religious symbolism is a representation of spirit, of that essence of the universe which people have variously characterized as gods, goddesses, energies, and voids. In the narrow sense, the religious symbolism of a religion, like Christianity, can distinguish between various aspects of the whole, designating one, like the Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit, as the spirit aspect. In this analysis, the focus starts with a general look at religious symbolism, spirit in religion, followed by consideration of some ways in which spirit has been characterized in religious symbolism."

From the Paper
"In 1944 Albert Einstein said, "Generations to come, it may be, will scarcely believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon earth." He was talking about Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi's real name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. His followers called him Mahatma (or Great Soul) as though it were his first name. In India he is also Father of the Nation (Wikipedia, 2006). Because Gandhi was such a complex person, it is difficult to try to capture who he really was."

King and Gandhi, 2002.
A comparison of the leadership styles of Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi.

»

Abstract
This paper examines the use of power and leadership skills displayed by King and Gandhi. By detailing Niccolo Machiavelli's definition of power and leadership, the writer analyzes these leaders and asks which sort of leadership style was best. These skills are studied in the context of the time they were used and the people they hoped to lead.
From the Paper
"It is easy to think that Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi are right in their counsels to use power as justly and compassionately as possible and to dismiss the writings of Machiavelli as a power-hungry, dangerous fanatic. But to do so is to ignore an essential part of any analysis of the rights and responsibilities of power ? the historical context in which that power is being used. Most of us would surely rather have a Gandhi or a King leading our nation than a Machiavelli. But is this really true?"

Abstract
This paper looks at the life of one of the most influential Hindu figures of the 19th and 20th centuries, Mahatma Gandhi. It examines how Gandhi?s life was guided by a search for truth and how he believed that truth could be known only through tolerance and concern for others. It shows how he dedicated himself to truth, to nonviolence, to poverty, and to honesty, and how he believed in "Ahimsa" or nonviolence, and taught that to be truly nonviolent required great courage.
From the Paper
"The most influential factor in Gandhi?s philosophical development was religion. Gandhi did believe in God, and his religion is Hinduism. ?My religion is Hinduism, which for me is the religion of humanity and includes the best of all the religions known to me? (Gandhi, Para1). Gandhi inherited Hinduism from his parents, but he was more influnced by the religion through reading many books. ?It was thanks to his theosophist friends that Gandhi started learning about his own religion, by reading the Bhagavad-Gita Gita, which he was ashamed of never having read, in the original, either in the original Sanskrit or in a Gujarati translation, and which he now tackled eagerly in Sir Edwin Arnold?s popular English translation."

Abstract
Almost everyone has heard of M. K. Gandhi. His name is still spoken with respect in most parts of the world, and with this respect goes the understanding that he liberated India from the yoke of British colonization. In addition most people are aware that Gandhi utilized peaceful means to achieve this liberation, which of course adds to the mystique of Gandhi as one of the great men of history. This paper questions whether Gandhi's methods were the best that could have been used and whether the outcome was in fact in the best interests of India.

Gandhi's unique perspective on nonviolence and his significance and contributions to history and mankind

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Mahatma Gandhi was a representational character, meaning he symbolizes a particular set of values to a culture, and a particular mythology is therefore associated with him. This paper looks at how Gandhi represents the nonviolent lifestyle; nonviolent action became not passive resistance, but a technique capable of taking the initiative in active struggle. It explores how the combination of these various factors resulted in his important contributions to civil rights history. Though flawed, Gandhi exploited his humanity to the fullest extent and worked to live his life as an example that would be carried throughout time as a symbol of justice and harmony.
From the Paper
"Dave Dellenger said, "The major advances in nonviolence have not come from people who have approached nonviolence as an end in itself, but from persons who were passionately striving to free themselves from social injustice." In 1893, Mahatma Gandhi received an offer from Dada Abdullah & Co. to instruct their counsel in a lawsuit in South Africa; having failed to establish himself as a lawyer in Bombay, Gandhi jumped at the opportunity. Upon his arrival, one of the first things he noticed was the aura of racial segregation and portentousness. After about a week's stay in Durban, Gandhi left for Pretoria, where his presence was needed in connection with a lawsuit. A first class ticket was purchased for him by his client."

From the Paper
"Votes were taken with the result being 1114 voting in favor of integration of the marian schema into the Church Constitution and 1074 in favor of a separate schema for Mary. It is stated that this division was reported by news media to be a split as to whether the authenticity of Mary as Mediatrix was to be adopted into the church however, in reality the only division among the Cardinals was as to whether a separate schema should be given to Mary.
Mary is held up as an example of what is termed a "total faith response to God". (McBride, 2003) Chapter VIII of Lumen Gentium states that the Old Testament is to be "understood in the light of further and full revelation." (LG #55) According to mariologist James O'Connor: "in the light of the fullness of revelation we are not 'reading back into' the documents something which is not really there, but something which is truly there but only fully understood when read in the perspective of the completed work." (O'Connor, 1986)"

Abstract
This paper explains how the Holy Spirit is essential in the life of every Christian believer. By examining the 'Acts of the Apostles' and the teachings of Paul, the paper explains the role of the Holy Spirit and the importance of the Holy Spirit in the establishment of the early churches.
From the Paper
"H. H. Halley tells us that the original mission of the church was to be a ?witness-bearing institution to Christ? as opposed to an institution of authority to force Jesus upon the world. (Halley 767). Part of this witness was the experience of the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit proved that Christianity was, among other things, a supernatural experience. The presence of the Holy Spirit allowed for the apostles to work miracles in the name of the Lord, which led others to Christ. In essence, the Holy Spirit was responsible for the growth of the early church and it is clear that the disciples were empowered by him."

Abstract
This paper details the life of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, born in 1869 in Porbandar, India. It looks at how Mahatma Gandhi is known as one of strongest symbols of non-violence in the 20th Century due to his activist role and religious leadership. It examines how he greatly influenced the world in many ways by practicing and teaching throughout his life. Gandhi was a thinker, a philosopher, a wise statesman and a man of action and his teachings remain relevant to a new generation that has been typically been driven to cynicism and despair by the chaos and dishonesty of the politics of our times.
From the Paper
"Gandhi was inspired by his religious mother. She belonged to a branch of Hinduism that taught non-violence and tolerance between religious groups was very important. Gandhi spent his life searching for truth and harmony with nature. He believed truth could be known only through tolerance and concern for others and that finding a truthful way to solutions required constant testing. He even titled his autobiography My Experiments with Truth. Gandhi overcame fear and taught others to master fear. His belief in nonviolence guided his teachings that to be truly nonviolent required courage. He lived a simple life and thought it was wrong to kill animals for food or for clothing. ?Gandhi found materialism to be the main characteristic of modern civilization, in which spirituality seemed to be undervalued? (Ishii, 2001)."

"In 1973, nation-wide demonstrations took place due to high inflation, poor state of the economy, rampant corruption and the poor standards of living. In 1974-1975, the country was besieged with severe economic conditions. The negative economic situation sparked a chain of mass agitations in the west and the east of the country. These popular uprising were followed by a nationwide railway strike which was led by the former Gandhian and socialist Jayaprakash Narayan. In June, 1975, the Indian court reversed Indira Gandhi's election to parliament using a very tiny infringement of electoral procedure as the basis."
