Gandhi the Man: How One Man Changed Himself to Change the World
[9781586380557]

by Eknath Easwaran
General Books, Biography - Gandhi the Man: How One Man Changed Himself to Change the World
Paperback
Published: 05/05/11
This is the moving story of a nonviolent hero, richly illustrated, told by an author who grew up in India and met Gandhi. Gandhi's life is both inspiring and baffling to modern readers. How did an ineffective young lawyer become the Mahatma, who led 400 million Indians in their nonviolent struggle for independence? How did he endure the terrible hardships joyfully and with love for all? What is nonviolence, and how does it work? Easwaran, who grew up in Gandhi's India, offers authentic answers to these questions. While visiting Gandhi's ashram, Easwaran watched as Gandhi meditated on the Bhagavad Gita, the Indian scripture that was the source of his inspiration and strength. This biography gives a moving account of the turning points and choices in Gandhi's life that made him both a great leader and an icon of the transforming power of nonviolence. With 70 photographs, quotations from Gandhi's writings, historical notes, and a chronology, this book conveys the spirit and soul of Gandhi - the only way he can be truly understood.

Review by Laszlo
Rating: starstarstarstarstar (5/5)
Reviewed May 11

Though I already own several books on Gandhi, as soon as the cover of this brand-new publication caught my eye, I knew it would end up on my bookshelf.
A closer look at the first pages reveals that it is a new edition of an older book originally published decades ago, written by a man who spent time in Gandhi's ashram in order to gain a personal insight into Gandhi's life and understand the source of his inner strength, discipline and morality.
Rather than just covering the events and historical aspects of Gandhi's life, the book, enriched with countless digitally enhanced full-page photographs, focuses on Gandhi's personal and spiritual journey as a man whose unfailing aspiration was to change himself and through this change inspire the world. More than half a century after his death, Gandhi's example still shines bright.
