An Autobiography Or the Story of My Experiments with Truth
An Autobiography Or the Story of My Experiments with Truth | M. K. Gandhi, Gandhi Mk
The first critical, annotated edition of M. K. Gandhi's most famous written work, published seventy years after his death 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 Ahmedebad, 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.

“An eye for an eye will only end up making the whole world blind.”

A #freedomfighter and spiritual leader, Mahatma Gandhi played an active and important role in India‘s independence, and was respected over for his ‘nonviolent philosophy of passive resistance‘.
In this autobiography, he gives an honest account of his early life and ideologies.

Albert Einstein‘s famous words on Gandhi: ‘Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth‘ This is the duty of Indians to spread the Gandhian Principles and Gandhi to the globe. #Gandhijayanti #Einsteinchallenge.

@RealLifeReading

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this autobiography was my best nonfiction read in 2015, a life so simple but with a huge impact on the world.. i'm looking for a good italian edition, i'd like to have a phisical copy on my shelves!

JoeStalksBeck I've heard so much about him being racist . Is it true? 8y
La_Cori @GoodallBookHaul i've never heard such thing, and reading the book I didn't have that impression.. When he was in South Africa (and really young, in his early twenties) he campaigned for the rights of indian people, maybe he was accused of being racist for not fighting for colored people's too.. 8y

If physical fasting is not accompanied by mental fasting it is bound to end in hypocrisy and disaster.

?Sending love, sending light, namaste. I choose love,love,love,love. I can only control my own actions. Choosing to stay logical, not give in to rumor mongering, and above all promote love.

The seeker after truth should be humbler than the dust. The world crushes the dust under its feet, but the seeker after truth should so humble himself that even the dust could crush him. Only then, and not till then, will he have a glimpse of truth.
