HUJER, DR. KAREL

[Dr. Hujer, a Czech astronomer interested in the study of astronomy of ancient civilisations, was in India in 1935 and had stayed for two days in Gandhiji's Ashram near Delhi. He left Czechoslovakia before Nazi occupation and settled in the United States. He became a professor at the University of Chattanooga, Tennessee. He was an organiser of the World Pacifist Meetings in India in December 1949.]

Letter, May 194776

[Dr. Hujer wrote to Gandhiji: "I think of you in prayer... I see the only hope of light for our Western civilisation in your radiant and friendly guidance and wisdom."]

I am the same as when you saw me except that my faith burns, if possible, brighter than before.
