Happy Gandhi Jayanthi (2/10/17). Gandhi's note written on Thanjavur Maratha Prince

Happy #GandhiJayanthi. The Father of our Nation stood for non-violence and peace. And he believed that nothing but the truth shall prevail.

Note written by Mahatma Gandhi on Thanjavur Prince, H.H Rajaram RajeBhosle of Huzur Mahal Palace.,hereditary trustee of Thanjavur Palace Devastanam.

"H.H Prince Rajaram Raje Saheb is the Prince and Hereditary trustee of Thanjavur Palace Devastanams.He has 90 temples under his Charge including the famous temple called Sri.Brihadeshwara.He has thrown open all these temples to harijans as a purely voluntary act of reparation to harijans ans thus hastened the process of purification that Hinduism is going through.It is a great and good thing that this Raja saheb has done. He deserves the congratulations of all those who believe that untouchability is a blot on "Hinduism" Segaon, Dated 29-7-1939 (Sd.) -M.K GANDHI".

A letter written by H.H Prince Rajaram Raje Saheb inviting Gandhiji to Thanjavur is in our records. Gandhi ji was invited to Thanjavur when Raja of Pudukkotai refused to allow Gandhi fearing the wrath of the British.

Whether he had visited Thanjavur or accepted Prince Rajaram's invitation  is exactly not known.
