Both martin luther king and Gandhi were people who gained tremendous inspiration from their faith traditions and were able to perform tremendous feats of courage through the implementation of non-violence.

Like many Hindus, Gandhi also depended on the Bhagavad Gita for inspiration and direction. He is quoted as saying "Whenever doubts haunt me and disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to the Bhagavad Gita and find a verse to comfort me. I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow."

Who is Mahatma Gandhi?

It's no big secret that Martin Luther King Jr. took great inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi in pushing forward his Civil Rights Movement. Dr. King was introduced to Gandhi's teachings while at Crozer Theological Seminary. His conviction to pursue this course of action strengthened during his 1959 visit to India. He is quoted as saying "It was a marvelous thing to see the amazing results of a non-violent campaign. The aftermath of hatred and bitterness that usually follows a violent campaign was found nowhere in India..." Later during a radio interview, he stated that more than ever before, a non-violent campaign would be the most powerful weapon for oppressed people
