THANK YOU SO MUCH‼️❤️ I’m from South African 🇿🇦 and Gandhi has been a long time hero of mine and this has brought back my fire! Thank you so much for using your voice and platform to promote peace and love and help educate as well as entertain us! Thank you!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿
Are you from Maritzburg too? Ever since I learned that his journey of justice began in my hometown I've always been so proud of my birthplace being where such an incredible voice for freedom and equality first graced the world stage.
🇿🇦🌎 ❤🇮🇳🌎🇿🇦
Beautiful video. Thank you Scott Dinsmore for sharing this. You were a blessing to all who crossed your path while you were here on earth. Blessings to Chelsa Dinsmore and his family. Namaste, Carol Ann
I discovered MC Yogi on Amazon Music, and promptly listened to EVERYTHING of his I could find. MC Yogi, you're doing your part. So many of your songs speak to my soul, and bring tears to my eyes. Thank you for being you.
Thank you sir ...very much i feel very proud Mahatma Gandhi is the greatest soul of our country Jay Hind vande matram 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
THANK YOU!!! My daughter is 22, multiply disabled and LOVES rap. We really struggle with finding good rap music that doesn't have disgusting lyrics. She, of course, has the right to listen to whatever she wants; however, typically when she's listening to music or watching RUclips videos we're in waiting rooms or she's in free time at school. Neither venue is an appropriate place for the language and content of most secular rap. We've found Christian rappers to be inconsistent with their talent and there are only 1 or 2 that she even half way likes. Her dad is a Hindu (we're proof that interreligion couples CAN work ...17 years and still best friends ❤️) and came across your music. SHE IS IN LOVE!!! You're extremely talented, your message is positive and uplifting, and you put a smile on my daughter's face. Thank you so much for blessing us with your music. And, on a side note...I do not like rap AT ALL but I really like yours! There's something different about your rhythm that really appeals to me. Thanks again!!
best to you and your situation, and all your loved ones!! this is awesome music!!
we have a shirt that says be the change and my school does as well school named highlands oddesey wisconsin and we all love this song man only if my fifth grade teacher did,nt move we allways say be the change
I really hope your situation improves. Other great rap songs that aren't praising vices are songs by Kendrick Lamar. The song "i" is one of my favorites, not only because of its soul and funk vibe, but it's got a great message. I hope your daughter likes it, and best of luck to her.
unlucky uce
Buona note
Amazing message and song! I'am en English teacher in a French country and I'll use your fantastic video clip and lyrics to teach my students, good values!
This song brings tears to my eyes again and again. Very inspiring. Thanks MC Yogi!
My english teacher played this song today in class! I'm really happy and grateful she did it because it made me realize what our society needs nowadays and that in order to make a change we must start with ourselves. Love the message on the song!
Best lyrical rap song, inspirational and deep meanings!! ❤️🙏❤️
I am taking a class at my church (Unity Houston) on the great Mahatma Gandhi. Our instructor introduced us to this song yesterday in class. I was never able to appreciate rap until now.
"Like" is not strong enough a word. Very little touches me as much as this has; it brought tears to my eyes. It is truly beautiful. The message enclosed is so hopeful and in this time we need to hold on to hope ... and love. It is in this great depth of love and respect that I hold you. Namaste.
Inspiring
Love you, MC Yogi!
Love you too, Roger and Sabine!
5 minutes of goosebumps, great song.
every single time i listen to it.. even get choked up a bit.. i think its spiritual allergies detox. cuz my eyes keep watering lol
As soon as it started, I got goosebumps like I have never got before💗
to me Autobiography of a Yogi - the one book to read.....he did so much hard work
My favorite song ever! This song and video should be taught in all schools starting in Kindergarten!
And add a plant-based diet to all the school programs. see enviro diet on youtube for understanding why. "What the health" documentary is there also.
WOW! Beautiful and Poignant .... pass this on!!!
1990s New age music Enigma made waves.
2020s Spiritual n Rap MC Yogi creates ripples of bliss.
Yesss!!!!! This song was inspiring me today! 💚
Love it! Very motivating! Thank you :)
Gandhi ji is losing popularity in India, but going strong worldwide.
Happy to see this video showing true picture and message of Gandhi and other spiritual heroes of 20th century.
Still MC Yogi is ON, gandhi is great, india is great, jay hind 🇮🇳
When listening to this song again, I think much there can be benefit, in adding a line like this to Chant to your self at the end of this song. “Help me stay Strong to carry this message on!” Or create your own Chant for Surrendering to Guidance from the Spirit! Your inner Spirit that is connected to EVERYTHING! . . . . WE ARE ONE!!! LOVE & BLESSINGS
This moved me so much. Thank you.
a fantastic song, i cant believe it hasn't been a number one hit. keep doing what your doing MC YOGI

Amazing - the flow, the instrumentals, and the message

ME TOOO!! i even cry !!!
First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win. - Gandhi
He is lie ,d real freedom givers were bhagat Singh n sabhash chander Bose.gandhi has hardly part for freedom of India.he is lie of Congress
@@vishkiller23 shut the fuck up if you don't know nothing about Gandhi
@@vishkiller23 you've messed up your history by listening to propaganda.
@@adityanath3570 dont give a fuck abt propaganda. I know the real history not one by British Congress
@@vishkiller23 I can't change your views nor I'm gonna try. Just, try to see other's perspective also. Might surprise you

-Soul Camp Asian
It makes me cry every time too
I heard this years ago, remembered it, and had to hear it again
be the change that you wanna see and smile to a freindly person and if they don,t they,ll realize they will come back looking for you to smile at again and teach someone else
Intro]
Dedicated
To all spiritual activists
Truth seekers and peaceful warriors
Worldwide
I regard myself as a soldier
Though a soldier of peace
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, not long ago
There was a boy who would grow and become a great soul
He lived in India and his name was Gandhi
He believed in human rights and he fought for equality
He felt so strongly that he trained himself
'Cause he realized first he'd have to change himself
He changed his clothes and decided to walk
Some days he practiced silence and refused to talk
When he was young, he studied to be a lawyer
And then he became a great spiritual warrior
He read from the scriptures of every religion
Came to the realization that we’re all God’s children
Because he understood that we’re all equal
He became a spokesman for the people
A karma yogi devoted to service
To spread truth and peace was his purpose
You gotta be the change that you wanna see
In the world (be the change)
Just like Gandhi
Be the change that you wanna see
In the world
Just like Gandhi
Just like Gandhi
[Verse 2]
Gandhi dedicated his life to the cause
Even when it meant breaking unjust laws
He often faced prison and incarceration
But that only strengthened his determination
He said he would make every sacrifice
But that he would never kill or take a life
He used his heart instead of his fist
And he taught non-violence as the way to resist
A peaceful soldier who used his mind
To fight for the rights of human kind
But not just people, animals too
And his basic teaching “God is Truth”
He joined Muslims, Sikhs, & Hindus
Christians, Buddhists, Jains, and Jews
All the many paths that lead into
The light that shines bright inside of me and you
[Hook]
You gotta be the change that you wanna see
In the world (be the change)
Just like Gandhi
Be the change that you wanna see
In the world
Just like Gandhi
Be the change that you wanna see
In the world (be the change)
Just like Gandhi
Be the change that you wanna see
In the world
Just like Gandhi
[Verse 3]
Gandhi taught "an eye for an eye" makes the whole world blind
And it takes more strength and faith to be kind
With that in mind, Gandhi took a stand
Against the foreign occupation of his land
When things got violent, Gandhi would fast
Not eating for days until the riots would pass
But the biggest event that made the British halt
Is when Gandhi-ji decided to harvest salt
The British Empire installed a salt tax
And stealing salt was an unlawful act
So Gandhi and his peeps took the streets
Ten thousand deep, they marched to the beach
But when they arrived, they were beaten with clubs
But they didn’t fight back, instead they chose love
The foreign military realized they were wrong
And eventually decided to go back home
You see, Gandhi-ji was a very great leader
But before all that, he was shy and meager
As a young child, he was just like you and me
Before he became Mahatma Gandhi
The word 'Mahatma', it means great soul
And its inside of us just waiting to unfold
If you follow your heart and act real bold
Next time it’ll be your story that’s told
One word to MC Yogi. "INSPIRATIONAL".
New era in world's Rap-Music Industry..
Thumbs up, if u agree!!
tears falling through my eyes
originated of my mind,
i can't express
how sadly happy i am
to see the world,
changed in a way
it shouldn't have swayed onto.
i believed, that true people, are the ones who rise
and the one's who make others shine
Wonderful!
Aho ❤
Beautiful !!!
Love the beats. See you again at wanderlust tremblant next summer
Keep working man.....Man like you are need for this world
So beautiful.
Goosebumps ❤️
Fantastic - can't wait to show my kids. Thanks MC Yogi!
I love you MC Yogi.. you showed me a better way, aa better me.. I am love!!
I will be the change by bringing my soul's true potential forward in all that I do. I am blessed as are you.
Thankyou MC Yogi this has been my favourite song since I saw you perform in Byron Bay some time ago - and now a video to share with the world. Thankyou. I listen to this song at least once a month just to remind me what is possible Ghandi did something incredible and his mark on the world is now with us forever. Now with your brilliant song, you have helped me so many times to see that the world really is beautiful even if what is happening may not be. There is perfection in it all.
