New York, Mar 1 (IBNS): US-based the Raab Collection has announced that it will be unveiling and offering for sale an original letter of Mahatma Gandhi in which he discusses the nature of the existence of Jesus Christ.

"We located no record of any letter of Gandhi on Jesus to have reached the public market. Gandhi also discusses his hope for peace among religions worldwide. The letter has been in a private collection for half a century," the collectors said in a statement.

“This letter is the embodiment of Gandhi’s vision for a world of religions at peace," read the statement.

"His belief in Jesus as a teacher of mankind shows his efforts to find commonality with his fellow man,” said Nathan Raab, principal at The Raab Collection.

The letter was written by Gandhi in 1926 to US religious elder Milton Newberry Frantz.

The letter is valued at $50,000.
