Rent Gandhi the Man: How One Man Changed Himself to Change the World

Synopsis

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? And how exactly does nonviolence work?

Easwaran grew up in Gandhi's India and gives authentic answers to these questions.
This biography, illustrated with 70 photographs, and supported by background notes, a chronology, and quotes from Gandhi's writings, offers 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 power of nonviolence.

On a visit to his ashram, Easwaran watched the Mahatma meditating on the Bhagavad Gita, the source of his inspiration and personal strength. This book conveys the spirit and soul of Gandhi - the only way he can be truly understood.
