Description

This is the story of Gandhi’s spiritual evolution – the turning points and choices that made him not just a really perfect political leader but additionally a timeless icon of nonviolence.

Eknath Easwaran grew up in India and witnessed how Gandhi inspired people of all races, backgrounds, and religions to turn anger into compassion and hatred into love.

How had Gandhi transformed himself from an ineffective young lawyer into the Mahatma, the “great soul” who led 400 million abnormal women and men of their nonviolent struggle for independence? To determine, Easwaran visited Gandhi’s ashram and watched the Mahatma absorbed in meditation at the Bhagavad Gita – the wellspring of Gandhi’s spiritual strength.

Easwaran, a leading authority at the Bhagavad Gita and on spiritual living, explains the principles underlying Gandhi’s nonviolence. He highlights how we will all use Gandhi’s teachings to make our families, workplaces, and communities more peaceful on the earth nowadays.

More than 70 photographs illustrate his life, and a detailed chronology provides historical context.
