Day 2: Visit to the Gandhi Memorial

Today, we visited the Gandhi Memorial, also known as Raj Ghat, in New Delhi. We woke up early and left the Ashok hotel around 6:30 to get there. Upon arrival, we witnessed the flaming light, walked, and paid our respects with rose petals. It was a truly special moment where I strongly felt a powerful energy, a lot of peace, and kindness emanating from the surroundings.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the organization for arranging this beautiful experience. Visiting the memorial was truly special; the simplicity and solemnity of the black marble platform where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated left a profound impact on me, reminding me of his enduring legacy of non-violence and compassion.

I would also like to thank our guide at the museum for sharing with us the history and teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. His insights into Gandhi's life and philosophy, including his work on incorporating Gandhi's beliefs and values into artificial intelligence and technology, struck me as very interesting and valuable for future generations. In today's world, where technology plays a predominant role, integrating concepts such as non-violence into digital media is crucial and something that would benefit humanity as a whole.

We also learned about the traditional craft of hand-spinning, a technique that Gandhi himself practiced and promoted. As the guide told us, this artisanal spinning technique is also a meditative practice, teaching patience, calming the mind, reducing stress, and promoting tranquility. It was amazing learning that Gandhi often used spinning as a form of peaceful protest and as a means to connect with his inner self and the broader community. 

One of my favorite quotes of Gandhi is "Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever." I strongly believe that's exactly what we are doing right now during the Miss World concentration—enjoying every moment, living every second together, and learning from other countries, cultures, and life experiences. It's a true gift that the Miss World organization is allowing us to live and cherish for the rest of our lives. I'm also loving the book containing the autobiography of Gandhi that they gifted us during our visit; I'll cherish it forever.

Lots of love, Chile.
