Mahatma Gandhi is perhaps the most discussed and also the most misunderstood man in the world today. As in the case of shakespeare, there has been a plethora of books on Gandhi the man and his philosophy of life and action. Some of the writers are among the most distinguished in their own field or discipline. Here’s a book that is, in a sense, off the beaten track. Dr. Tahtinen, the author, has made a commendable attempt to interpret Gandhi’s thought in terms of general western philosophical ideas, which constitutes its especial merit. The author has sifted and analysed a large body of authentic material available at the various Gandhi Ashrams at Sevagram, Sabarmati, Sevapuri, Khadigram and Almora (Lakshmi Ashram) and has also had informal discussions with Vinoba the saint of Paunar Ashram when he joined him on three padayatras. The author had endeavoured to distinguish historical religions from universal religion and to analyse the different meanings of truth. He has also discussed the teleological nature of the Mahatma’s ethics, in which purity of means was always supreme. Here’s a book for the lay reader as also for the student of Gandhism.

Mahatma Gandhi was a greatest teacher of the 20th century, who humanized the human race. Gandhi philosophy was simple and constructive. Gandhian philosophy is based on human values both moral and spiritual. Truth is the first fundamental principle of ethical code of Gandhi. According to Gandhi, Truth is the basis of life at all levels. He had sub-titled his autobiography as the, "My Experiments with Truth," and he remained a life-long seeker of Truth. The practice of truth was the highest aim of Gandhi. This book is divided in to five chapters. The first chapter deals with the philosophical foundations of Truth in Indian philosophy. The second chapter is about the Gandhi's views on cardinal virtues. The third chapter deals with the Gandhi's views on principle of Truth. The fourth Chapter discusses the Relation between Truth and Satyagraha. The fifth chapter projects the relation between Truth and Non-violence. According to Gandhi Truth and Non-violence are applicable in legislatures, in politics and worldly affairs. The core of Gandhian philosophy is Truth and Non-violence. This book helps to know the origin and importance of Truth in the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Epics.

The issues of South Africa and the nuclear bomb and theologies of liberation have for some time spotlighted the question of violence and non-violence. The strength or weakness of Gandhian non-violence often comes up in discussions on the subject. This manuscript analyzes Gandhian non-violence. The analysis is able, thorough andthis is what I most respond tomarked both by rigorous Western-style scrutiny and a familiarity with Gandhis philosophical and religious roots. He provides a strong theoretical basis for the instinctive reactions of many of Gandhis non-violence, for the widespread and commonsense belief that in general non-violence is sound and beneficial but that non-violent extremism may not be. His treatment of Gandhian non-violence in the context of Indian philosophy and metaphysics is of high calibre. His approach is both fresh and successful. Rajmohan Gandhi Borman shows in great detail where Gandhis thought arises from the Upanisads, The Bhagavad Gita, and a few other ancient documents. He also shows clearly where Gandhi deviates from his sources. As to argument, Borman uses a close-grained approach characteristic of analytic philosophy. Borman claims that Gandhis principles are extreme and unsupportable, and eventually lead to contradiction. It is not an intellectual biography, and it does not deal with the development of Gandhis thought. Rather it analyzes the logic of his position, and shows how he came to defend it from new angles in different circumstances. The text is well related to historical events, but does not pretend to history. Robert C. Neville The manuscript is not, and does not pretend to be, a historical analysis of Mahatma Gandhis experience. Its notable strength lies in its unique and commendable examination of Gandhis philosophy of non-violence, and in this particular respect it is the best study of the subject that I have read among the hundreds of books that deal with aspects of Gandhis contribution to our understanding of non-violence. Dennis Dalton It is refreshing to read an author who has a basis for understanding Gandhi since so many writers fail to understand or appreciate the spiritual essentials that form the core of Gandhis life and message. This book rings with clear, accurate, insightful understandings of Gandhi. It explores fully Gandhis philosophy of action and brings in scriptural sources for concepts that Gandhi practiced in his everyday affairs. I think the Western reader will gain a much needed clarification of Gandhian philosophy, methods, and actions, and especially of the source of his inspiration and intentions. Jean B. Mann

Gandhiji was born a Hindu. But his Hinduism was his own. It had its roots firm in ancient Hinduism, but it grew and developed in the light of his contact with other religions, more especially Christianity, as will be seen from Section Two of this volume. He sought to drink at the spring of all religions, and therefore he felt that he belonged to every religion. And yet, if he had to have a label, the label he preferred and which was his not only by right of birth but also intrinsically, was Hinduism, the religion of his forefathers.

An essential compendium for understanding Gandhi's profound legacy. "One has to speak out and stand up for one's convictions. Inaction at a time of conflagration is inexcusable."—Mahatma Gandhi The basic principles of Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence (Ahimsa) and non-violent action (Satyagraha) were chosen by Thomas Merton for this volume in 1965. In his challenging Introduction, "Gandhi and the One-Eyed Giant," Merton emphasizes the importance of action rather than mere pacifism as a central component of non-violence, and illustrates how the foundations of Gandhi's universal truths are linked to traditional Hindu Dharma, the Greek philosophers, and the teachings of Christ and Thomas Aquinas. Educated as a Westerner in South Africa, it was Gandhi's desire to set aside the caste system as well as his political struggles in India which led him to discover the dynamic power of non-cooperation. But, non-violence for Gandhi "was not simply a political tactic," as Merton observes: "the spirit of non-violence sprang from an inner realization of spiritual unity in himself." Gandhi's politics of spiritual integrity have influenced generations of people around the world, as well as civil rights leaders from Martin Luther King, Jr. and Steve Biko to Václav Havel and Aung San Suu Kyi. Mark Kurlansky has written an insightful preface for this edition that touches upon the history of non-violence and reflects the core of Gandhi's spiritual and ethical doctrine in the context of current global conflicts.

When Mahatma Gandhi died in 1948 by an assassin's bullet, the most potent legacy he left to the world was the technique of satyagraha (literally, holding on to the Truth). His "experiments with Truth" were far from complete at the time of his death, but he had developed a new technique for effecting social and political change through the constructive conduct of conflict: Gandhian satyagraha had become eminently more than "passive resistance" or "civil disobedience." By relating what Gandhi said to what he did and by examining instances of satyagraha led by others, this book abstracts from the Indian experiments those essential elements that constitute the Gandhian technique. It explores, in terms familiar to the Western reader, its distinguishing characteristics and its far-reaching implications for social and political philosophy.

'[This] book succeeds in making us see the poetics of disobedience in the utterly illiberal prosaic ethos of our times, in the light of giving Gandhi a new radical and transformative significance.' --Ashok Vajpeyi, from the Foreword In this original and timely book, Ramin Jahanbegloo, one of the world's leading political philosophers, engages with the most pressing question facing all of us today: is it not our duty, as free and autonomous citizens of democracy, to question and speak out against all authority? Should we not take back the power from self-interested political actors in the true spirit of Gandhi, for whom Swaraj was more than mere freedom from oppression? The core idea of Gandhi's philosophy of resistance, Jahanbegloo argues, is his unshakeable conviction that it is no longer possible to organize political action without disobedience. Democracy, to be worthy of obedience, he says, must be structured so that every citizen can question and disobey unjust laws and institutions. This is what Mahatma Gandhi still tells us, more forcefully than any other thinker of the twentieth century. The Disobedient Indian is a compellingly argued, persuasive handbook about the history, philosophy and necessity of disobedience. It is a vital tract for our times.
