Thoreou had a pencil factory.

Both Thoreau and Gandhi loved the Bhagavad-Gita as well.

You can find Walden for free, where he recorded his experiment to live alone in the woods.

Yeah, he was a pretty inspirational figure. He inspired me a few years back. Someday I want a cabin in the woods. But I at least want it to have Wi-Fi.

I've been to his cabin many times. It's right on a lake that people routinely swim at nowadays. His cabin was literally one small room. I wouldn't mind doing the same thing myself.

Gandhi in turn influenced and inspired Martin Luther King, Jr. who led peaceful civil rights movement in America.

Gandhi also inspired Wael Ghonim, who was the google executive at the center of the Egyptian Revolution that overthrew their dictator peacefully.

It's interesting how an essay and a life can end up inspiring so much.

interesting sidenote: the cabin belonged to Emerson who was strongly influenced by the Vedas.
