Great Regulars: It is from his Satyagraha Ashram that Gandhi

at 61 years of age set out for the Salt March, early morning of 12 March after a long evening prayer meeting at which some 2,000 people participated. Gandhi closed by saying to his band of 79 marchers, "I have faith in our cause and the purity of our weapons . . . God bless you all and keep off all obstacles from the path in the struggle that begins tomorrow. Let this be out prayer."
