M K Gandhi

The entire persona of Mahatma Gandhi resonates with his ideologies and principles that he always believed and practiced in life. Whatever he preached to his countrymen was strongly backed by his actions in a way that he led the life that he wanted the people of his country to lead. It was with his very powerful weapons of truth and non-violence that he was able to uproot the very foundation of domination. In this book one gets a chance to see his vision of how he saw the independent India to be. He always believed in a united, compassionate and a harmonious country and coming together of every sector, be it, social, religious, economic or caste, if the country wanted to make a strong progress.

For anyone who walks on or aspires to walk on the path of spirituality, needs no introduction to Bhagvad Gita, for it has and will always provide answers for the dilemmas that human mind is always plagued with. The explanation and interpretation of the holy text by Mahatma Gandhi will allow one to apply the principles of Gita in their daily lives. It allows one to lead life, and endure all this bends and blows with calmness of mind and dignity of character. It helps one to see things around them as they are and not a version that is distorted by one's own fear, expectation and insecurities. A great read for all time and especially when one is looking for something assuring to refer to in times of crisis; which means 'always'.

Indian Home Rule By M. K. Gandhi The only part of the programme which is now being carried out in its entirety is that of non-violence. But I regret to have to confess that even that is not being carried out in the spirit of the book. If it were, India would establish Swaraj in a day. If India adopted the doctrine of love as an active part of her religion and introduced it in her politics, Swaraj would descend upon India from heaven. But I am painfully aware that that event is far off as yet. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

'Now It Can Be Told' is the story of deception and glory which some political leaders in India surrounded themselves with to cover their erroneous policy decisions and acts of omission and commission, which were responsible for plunging Bengal and Punjab into troubled waters. After Partition, Hindus of Punjab in general and Sikhs in particular have complained about their problems remaining unaddressed; they blame the leaders for throwing them to the wolves in their quest for grabbing power. The Sikhs have suffered the most grievously. From being rulers of Punjab that spanned from Delhi to Khyber Pass, a little more than a century ago; they have for the past two years become wanderers. Unable to call a single district of Punjab as their home. Can there be a single instance cited, where a strong and large religious community like the Sikhs lost the Holiest of its places to others? This book is a faithful account of day-to-day occurrences in Lahore and other parts of Punjab during the critical period of 1947 when the fate of India was being decided by its leaders and at a time when Punjabi Sikhs and Hindus underwent untold miseries and hardship. This book should be treated more as a souvenir of Partition than as a treatise on history. This book is being reproduced without any editing or changes. It is an important document for understanding the circumstances and facts during Partition. Only the lot of the refugees is unenviable. The glow of freedom is certainly not found on their faces. They have lost their everything; their homes and hearths, their kith and kin, their properties, moveable and immovable, their religious shrines and sacred places hallowed by the blood of their martyrs and their accustomed ways of life and living. With their scanty resources dwindling fast, with the snail-like pace of rehabilitation and with the blasted career of their children staring them in the face, they are living in the daily dread of worse and worse things to come. The objective of writing this book is to rouse the conscience of the country, giving it a glimpse of the hell which the prosperous and proud people of North-West Pakistan had to suffer in those critical days and to appeal to the leaders to learn from their past mistakes and take determined and suitable measures in hand to undo the evil effects of the greatest 'wrong' of history.

The life of Gandhi, in his own words150th Anniversary Edition with a New Introduction by Pankaj Mishra'Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood' Albert Einstein upon the death of M. K. GandhiMohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in western India in 1869. He was educated in London and later travelled to South Africa, where he experienced racism and took up the rights of Indians, instituting his first campaign of passive resistance. In 1915 he returned to British-controlled India, bringing to a country in the throes of independence his commitment to non-violent change, and his belief always in the power of truth. Under Gandhi's lead, millions of protesters would engage in mass campaigns of civil disobedience, seeking change through moral conversion of the colonizers. For Gandhi, the long path towards Indian independence would lead to imprisonment and hardship, yet he never once forgot the principles of truth and non-violence so dear to him. Written in the 1920s, Gandhi's autobiography tells not only of his struggles and inspirations but also speaks frankly of his failures. It is a powerful and enduring account of an extraordinary life.'Christ gave us the goals and Mahatma Gandhi the tactics' Martin Luther King Jr.'I have the greatest admiration for Mahatma Gandhi. He was a great human being with a deep understanding of human nature. His life has inspired me' The Dalai Lama'Gandhi's ideas have played a vital role in South Africa's transformation and with the help of Gandhi's teaching, apartheid has been overcome' Nelson Mandela

"I simply want to tell the story of my numerous experiments with truth, and as my life consists of nothing but those experiments, it is true that the story will take the shape of an autobiography." - M. K. Gandhi This extraordinary autobiography is a window to the life of the great leader and social worker, M. K. Gandhi. This first-hand account of his life offers insight into the workings of Gandhi's cognizance, his views and ideas-an insight into the complexities of his times that drove this seemingly ordinary man to the heights of being the father of a nation, India - to be known around the worlds as the flag-bearer of peace and harmony.

The Bhagavad Gita by M. K. Gandhi is a beautiful and impinging śloka by śloka rendition of the Bhagavad Gita by Gandhi himself. Discussing various concepts of Hindu philosophy, the book is a reflection of Gandhi's views on Gita. This book offers great insight into Gandhi's ideologies and also the nature of a major strand of Indian freedom struggle. The concept of Ahimsa (non-violence) was central to Gandhi's actions during the Indian freedom struggle. Gandhi was a true leader that brought together all classes and sects under one umbrella to achieve Swaraj and his views and thoughts were highly inspired by the Bhagavad Gita.

India Of My Dreams is a collection of passages from speeches and writings of M. K. Gandhi showcasing how he envisaged India. Enumerating his views and ideas on various socio-political, cultural and economic issues, the book renders a fascinating insight into Gandhi's ideologies and his dream of a prosperous and vibrant India. Gandhi, a propounder of the ideologies of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Truth, envisaged India as a land devoid of all kinds of discrimination, bigotry and exploitation. He envisioned India as a torch-bearer of justice and righteousness.

Hindu Dharma presents Gandhi's views on Hindu dharma. Gandhi, being a Hindu himself, closely observed and studied the philosophical discourse of Hindu dharma. Throught his lifetime, Gandhi engaged himself with the discourse of Hindu Scriptures and Hindu philosophy which is reflected in his speeches and writings. Leading a campaign against the British rule in India, Gandhi's pursuit was inspired by the dharma. Ahimsa (non-violence) and Truth are key concepts that he borrowed from the dharma to be used in his campaign. This book offers a fascinating peep into Gandhi's understanding of the Hindu dharma and his ideologies that were inspired by the same making him into a leader that he was.

The first critical, annotated edition of M. K. Gandhi’s most famous written work“This pioneering critical edition subtly and invaluably expands our understanding of one of Gandhi’s key texts—and our sense of the man himself.”—Sunil Khilnani In the mid-1920s, prompted by a “small, still voice” that encouraged him to lay bare what was known only to him and his God, M. K. Gandhi began writing and publishing his autobiography. Drafted during a period of intensive fasting and “in-dwelling” at his ashram in Ahmedabad, his story of the soul portrayed the deeper, more inward experiences that made him externally an innovator in the struggles against violence, racism, and colonialism. The book, written in Gujarati and translated into English by Mahadev Desai, would become an international classic, hailed as one of the “100 Best Spiritual Books of the 20th Century.” This first critical edition of this seminal work by leading Gandhi scholar Tridip Suhrud offers an unprecedented window into the original Gujarati text. Including both alternative English translations and illuminating notes, as well as a deeply researched introduction, it will bring renewed critical attention to one of the world’s most widely read books.

Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule is a book written by Mohandas K. Gandhi in 1909. In it he expresses his views on Swaraj, modern civilization, mechanisation etc. Mohandas Gandhi wrote this book in his native language, Gujarati, while traveling from London to South Africa onboard SS Kildonan Castle between November 13 and November 22, 1909. In the book Gandhi gives a diagnosis for the problems of humanity in modern times, the causes, and his remedy. The Gujarati edition was banned by the British on its publication in India. Gandhi then translated it into English. The English edition was not banned by the British, who concluded that the book would have little impact on the English-speaking Indians' subservience to the British and British ideas. It has also been translated to French.

Presented to his disciples at prayer meetings over a nine-month period in 1926, Mahatma Gandhi's commentaries on the Gita are regarded in India as among the most important of the century. In them Gandhi addresses the issues he felt most directly affected the spiritual lives of common people.
