Gandhi the Man: The Story of His Transformation
Search in google:
The world remembers Gandhi as a political leader who led his people to freedom without violence. Here Easwaran examines Gandhi’s personal significance: how he transformed himself, and how we can apply his discoveries in a smaller way to resolve conflicts in our own lives. This intimate portrait shows how we can use Gandhi’s example in the home, the workplace, and the community – wherever people disagree.“Readers will never forget the look and sound of Gandhi the Man. Here Easwaran reveals Gandhi’s belief that beneath the ‘mask’ of self-obsession ‘is all the glory of our real self: complete fearlessness, unconditional love and abiding joy.’” – San Francisco Chronicle Argus-Courier Gandhi the Man is a compelling and relevant account of the man many consider to be the most important figure of our age. It is perhaps the most accessible work on Gandhi that has yet been published About the Author Eknath Easwaran grew up in Gandhi's India in an ancient Hindu matrilineal family in Kerala state. He had not been long out of college when he made his first visit to Gandhi to discover the secret of his self-mastery – the secret not of Gandhi the political leader, but of Gandhi the man. Years later, in the midst of a busy career as a writer and professor, Easwaran began to practice meditation earnestly in order to bring about a similar spiritual transformation in his own life. He was chairman of the Department of English at a large Indian university when he came to the United States on the Fulbright exchange program. In 1961, he established the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation in Berkeley, California.
