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

This is the story of how Gandhi, an ineffective young lawyer, became the Mahatma, who led 400 million Indians in their nonviolent struggle for independence.
Gandhi's life is both inspiring and baffling to modern readers. This biography gives 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 transforming power of nonviolence.
Easwaran grew up in Gandhi's India. While visiting Gandhi's ashram, Easwaran watched as the Mahatma meditated on the Bhagavad Gita, the Indian scripture that was the source of his inspiration and strength. Easwaran shows how Gandhi endured terrible hardships joyfully and with love for all. And he explains what nonviolence is, and how it works.
