"Mahatma Gandhi's humble, non-violent ways changed the course of an entire nation's history." "Gandhi was born in 1869 to Hindu parents in Western India. He studied law in London and then worked in Southern Africa to improve the rights of immigrant Indians. Back in India he took the lead in the long struggle for independence from Britain. He never wavered in his belief in non-violent protest and religious tolerance. To Gandhi's despair the country was partitioned into Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan. The last months of his life were spent trying to end the appalling violence that ensued, leading him to fast to the brink of death. In January 1948, at the age of 79, he was killed by the bullets of an Indian assassin as he walked through a crowded garden in New Delhi to take evening prayers." "Gandhi's ideas are as meaningful today as they were during the course of his long and inspiring life and this collection is the perfect introduction to his thought."--BOOK JACKET.

"Based upon talks given by Gandhi between February 24 and November 27, 1926 at the Satyagraha Ashram in Ahmedabad, India. During this time--a period when Gandhi had withdrawn from mass political activity--he devoted much of his time and energy to translating the Gita from Sanskrit into his native Gujarati. As a result, he met with his followers almost daily, after morning prayer sessions, to discuss the Gita's contents and meaning as it unfolded before him. This book is the transcription of those daily sessions. The Bhagavad Gita, also called The Song of the Lord, is a 700-line section of a much longer Sanskrit war epic, the Mahabharata. The Mahabharata is considered one of the greatest religious classics of Hinduism. The entire text of the Gita is a conversation between Krishna, an incarnation of the god Vishnu, and a general of one of the armies"--Provided by publisher.

"Vows and Observances presents the heart of Mahatma Gandhi's teachings on the practices of daily living. Drawn from four works written for residents of his religious community, Satyagraha Ashram, it explores in detail "The Eleven Observances," which for many Western readers will call to mind the Judeo-Christian Ten Commandments."--BOOK JACKET. "Vows and Observances addresses fundamental issues of life and society from the perspective of a man whose ideas are based not only on study and meditation, but also on decades of experimentation in community living. In addition, his discussion of swadeshi, a principle of commitment to focal economic activity with roots in ancient India, strikes an important contemporary chord in an era of increasing globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
