MAHATMA GANDHI DIGITAL MUSEUM IN HYDERABAD

When Birad Rajaram Yajnik launched the Mahatma Gandhi Museum a couple of years ago at Bapu Ghat in Hyderabad’s Langar House, he was surprised that it did not draw the amount of attention he expected it to. Flummoxed at this, he decided to shut it down before revamping it and launching it anew. Book cheap flights from San Francisco to Hyderabad and come visit what is now an extraordinary digital museum also known as the Peace Truth Ahimsa museum dedicated in honor of the iconic Mahatma Gandhi. You can book last minute flights with Indian Eagle travel agency if you don’t have time to book cheap flights from SFO to Hyderabad in advance.

What is the idea of the museum?

Says Yajnik that the museum was established with the sole aim of invoking the Mahatma’s ideals and values in the modern day and age. He says that people must visit the Mahatma Gandhi Digital Museum not just to know more about the legendary leader but also to decide what part of his life and values they are able and willing to emulate.

Programs at the Mahatma Gandhi Digital Museum

The museum has multiple interactive programs and sessions for children and adults both to help know more about the Mahatma. All its programs are interactive and experience-based with ideals taken from Mahatma Gandhi’s life. Here is a list of some of the programs you might enjoy when visiting on a direct flight from San Francisco to Hyderabad.

1. I am Gandhi

This program at Mahatma Gandhi Digital Museum has been designed specifically for students and institutions where they are taken through an interactive session of about 4 hours. They are taught about the iconic leader and his life in as much detail as possible. Each batch ideally consists of around 90 students and not more so that each can get better individual attention.

2. Ahimsa Wall

This is reportedly the largest photo wall in the world documenting the Mahatma. The 76/10 feet wall at the Mahatma Gandhi Digital Museum houses approximately over 400 pictures documenting the life and journey of the epic leader. The money you spend on non stop flights from SFO to Hyderabad will be well worth it when you see these rare glimpses into the life of one of the most iconic and revered world leaders.

3. Ahimsa Harley

In the year 2012, about 900 plus students from over 10 countries were introduced to the unique yet powerful concept of ‘Gandhi in the 21st century.’ They had gathered in the city as a part of the Harvard Model United Nations 2012. Pledging to kickstart a revolution of peace, truth and ahimsa (non-violence), the students signed on a Harley Davidson as a symbol of action towards the solemn pledge.

4. Kasturba - a culinary experience for the mind

This is a program at Mahatma Gandhi Digital Museum which aims to celebrate the spirit of women and their incredible mental strength. In the famous words of Mahatma Gandhi, “To call woman the weaker sex is libel; it is man’s injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man’s superior.”

5. Invoking Gandhi

Perhaps the most impactful of all programs at the Mahatma Gandhi Digital Museum, Invoking Gandhi is a must-attend program when visiting on cheap business class flights. Here, you are taken on a tour of the world where you will see powerful personalities which include Presidents, Revolutionists, and Pop Stars among others who’ve invoked Mahatma Gandhi in the addresses. An ideal batch of attendees for this program consists of about 15 people for a more personal experience.
