It is completely out of a fanatical and absurd superstition, and he put forward the idea of 1 time abstinence because one day at the age of 16, he was having sex with his wife. As a result, he heard the news of his father's death and decided to abstain from sex. It didn't work this time. Later, South Africa broke out and the Zulu people opposed the British judgment. Gandhi organized an Indian ambulance team and witnessed the cruelty of white people to the poor in the colonies. This scene shocked him. Later, he swore to his wife Castuba to give up drinking.
Later, he found his physiological reaction and felt ashamed. He decided to use a young woman to accompany him and get along closely with him to verify his sincerity in abstinence. Just because of his ridiculous behavior of bathing with girls for a long time. Gandhi himself didn't think it was a very shameful and rude thing that this happened. On the contrary, he felt that such behavior proved his sincerity of abstinence to everyone. When I met with national leaders, I was proud to talk about this kind of thing.
Although he is getting older, he is accompanied by young girls. Whenever a girl gets old, he will find a new girl to accompany him. And after his death, these things were banned by Indian officials. In order to maintain his image, it is ridiculous that he still has a large number of followers because his words and deeds are so different, absurd and vulgar.
