Vinoba Bhave ,born Vinayak Narahari Bhave (September 11, 1895 - November 15, 1982) often called Acharya (In Sanskrit means teacher), was an Indian advocate of nonviolence and human rights. He is best known for Bhoodan Andolan. He is considered as a National Teacher of India and the spiritual successor of Mahatma Gandhi.  He is one of the most notable figures in modern Indian history  and Freedom struggle.
He was associated with Mahatma Gandhi in the Indian independence movement. In 1932 he was sent to jail by the British colonial government because of his activism against British rule. There he gave a series of talks on the Gita, in his native language Marathi, to his fellow prisoners.
These highly inspiring talks were later published as the book "Talks on the Gita", and it has been translated to many languages both in India and elsewhere. Vinoba felt that the source of these talks was something above and he believed that its influence will endure even if his other works were forgotten.
In 1940 he was chosen by Gandhi to be the first Individual Satyagrahi (an Individual standing up for Truth instead of a collective action) against the British rule. It is said that Gandhi envied and respected Bhave's celibacy, a vow he made in his adolescence, in fitting with his belief in the Brahmacharya principle. Bhave also participated in the Quit India Movement. Literary career

•    All revolutions are spiritual at the source. All my activities have the sole purpose of achieving a union of hearts."
•    "Peace is something mental and spiritual. If there be peace in our (personal) life, it will affect the whole world"
•    "Jai Jagat! — Victory to the world!"
•    "It is a curious phenomena that God has made the hearts of the poor rich, and those of the rich poor."
•    "What we should aim at is the creation of people power, which is opposed to the power of violence and is different from the coercive power of state."
•    "A country should be defended not by arms, but by ethical behavior."
•    "We cannot fight new wars with old weapons."
•    "When a thing is true, there is no need to use any arguments to substantiate it."
•    "There is no need for me to protest against the government’s faults, it is against its good deeds that my protests are needed."
•    "Do not allow yourself to imagine that revolutionary thinking can be propagated by governmental power."
•    "I beg you not to adopt any "go slow" methods of nonviolence. In nonviolence you must go full steam ahead, if you want the good to come speedily you must go about it with vigor. A merely soft, spineless ineffective kind of nonviolence will actually encourage the growth of the status quo and all the forces of a violent system which we deplore."
