A "how do you say" post.

And this is also a tattoo post.


A friend's father wants to get "Be the change you want to see in the world" in Sanskrit as a tattoo. Does anyone here have an idea how to say that naturally in Sanskrit? He figured that because Gandhi was Indian that there must be a Sanskrit version of his quote. I'd really appreciate it if anyone had an idea of how to write it, or, if not, some possible resources for the answers. :)

I apologise if my sentences are strange. English is not my first language. :)

Thank you.
