An Australian citizen led a peace rally in northeast India to spread Mahatma Gandhi's message of non-violence. Garvin Brown says he has been following Gandhi's teachings of non-violence since the age of six.

Australian citizen Garvin Brown led a peace procession on the streets of the northeastern Indian city of Guwahati, spreading Mahatma Gandhi's message of non-violence.

Brown has been following Gandhi's philosophy of peace, non-violence and love since the age of six, and has been practicing his teachings in his life for years.

[Garvin Brown, Follower of Mahatma Gandhi]:
"When I was very young, about six, I would hear on a little radio on little farm about a man in India who was working to uplift the poor people in India and he went straight to my heart and I just fell in love with him. And I by falling in love with him, I found truth, and love- 'Satya' (truth), 'Ahimsa' (non-violence), 'Priya' (Love), Shanti (forbearance, peace)."

The march was carried out by students of Parijat Academy, a school for the underprivileged and volunteers of the organization "Just be Friendly."

They held placards and banners and chanted messages of Gandhi's teachings.

[Bhaskar Kausik, Volunteer, Just Be Friendly]:
"Mahatma Gandhi peace walk, led by Gaivin Brown. We have been coming here for the past three years. We actually want to implement the philosophies of Gandhi who loved his children."

Volunteers also work towards providing education to underprivileged children and vocational studies to women.

Mahatma Gandhi pioneered the philosophy of non-violent resistance to British rule in India. A Hindu radical assassinated him in 1948 in New Delhi.
