Ghandi lived a life which many would view as exemplary, and is revered even now as a model humanitarian. Could the stories associated with his life expand over the next several centuries so that a religion based on his life and example would be created? Would future generations tell stories about miracles which he performed, stories which we don't tell because the stories haven't yet been created?
Could a religion form around the life and teachings of Ghandi?

A religion can form around anything. It just takes desire.

Somehow, I don't think so. I read his autobiography (The Story of My Experiment with Truth) a few years back. I am a great admirer of Gandhi; above all he valued what we as individuals could do for our society. He certainly never looked for followers in a religious sense but rather saw himself as an example for others to follow.

I don't think that really matters much, if his future follows create a religious persona for him. I mean, do you think the real jesus bears any resemblence to the jesus people worship today?
