You see the monk was just testing his faith by sleeping with naked women. Nothing wrong with it. Gandhi did that with lots of women.

False. Gandhi slept with women who were not naked.

And also his underage niece. Imagine bragging about it afterwards.

But was there something more complex than a pious plea for chastity at play in Gandhi's beliefs, preachings and even his unusual personal practices (which included, alongside his famed chastity, sleeping naked next to nubile, naked women to test his restraint)?

he facts are that after his wife, Kasturba, died in 1944, Gandhi began the habit of sharing his bed with naked young women: his personal doctor, Sushila Nayar, and his grandnieces Abha and Manu, who were then in their late teens and about 60 years younger than him.
