Description

Mohandas K. Gandhi, referred to as Mahatma (“great soul”), was once the father of up to date India, but his influence has spread well beyond the subcontinent and is as important as of late as it was once in the first a part of the twentieth century and all over this nation’s own civil rights movement. Taken from Gandhi’s writings during his life, The Essential Gandhi introduces us to his thoughts on politics, spirituality, poverty, suffering, love, non-violence, civil disobedience, and his own life. The pieces collected here, with explanatory head notes by Gandhi biographer Louis Fischer, offer the clearest, most thorough portrait of some of the greatest spiritual leaders the world has known.
“Gandhi was once inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable. . . . We may ignore him at our own risk.” –Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

With a new Preface drawn from the writings of Eknath Easwaran
