Vinoba Bhave, Founder Of The Bhoodan Movement

Vinayak Nathar Bhave, popularly known as Vinoba, was born on 11 September ,1895 , at Gagode in Pen Taluka of Konkan.

While studying at Vadodara, he was attracted to Sanskrit.

So he planned a visit to Varanasi to study this ancient language.

He learnt the Brahma Sutras at Pradnya Pathshala, Wai. He was inspired by Gandhiji’s thoughts and started correspondence with him.

It is through this correspondence that the Mahatma named him Vinoba.

Later Vinoba started living in Bapu’s Ashram, first at Sabarmati & afterwards at Sevagram, Wardha.

Gandhiji selected him as his first Satyagrahi, as a result he was sent to Vellore jail for taking part in civil disobedience movement.

In jail, he learnt Tamil, Telugu, Kannada & Malayalam. By this time he became known as Acharya due to his scholarship & command over a number of languages.

No religion, language or country seemed foreign to him. He coined the term “Jai Jagat” meaning hail to the world.
