text: That's a really awesome question! Thanks for asking it!\n\nMahatma Mohandas Karmachand Gandhi.\n\nWhy?\n\nEver since I was little and first heard about Gandhi I have admired him, what he did, his courage, and his outlook on life. \n\nAs one friend said after I converted to Hinduism "somehow this doesn't surprise me since you've always admired Gandhi and he was a Hindu." Although, Gandhi didn't really claim to be just a Hindu, he said he was also a Christian, Jew, Muslim, etc...and I feel the same way. I've studied those religions, have friends of those religions (and others: Pagan, Buddhist, Baha'i, etc).
