Items related to The Way to God
One of the most influential figures of the twentieth century, M. K. Gandhi was a revolutionary leader not only in politics, but also in religion. It was for the power of his devotion to God that he was granted the title Mahatma, Great Soul, and continues to be regarded by millions as a Hindu saint. This book explores the deep religious roots of Gandhi's worldly accomplishments, and reveals, in his own words, his intellectual, moral and spiritual approaches to the divine.
First published in India in 1971, The Way to God is based on Gandhi's lifetime of experiments with truth, and reveals the heart of his teachings on love, the soul, meditation, service, surrender and prayer. Readers from every faith will find wisdom and inspiration in its message. This edition, the first available to American readers, includes a foreword by Arun Gandhi, the grandson of the Mahatma, and an introduction by Michael N. Nagler.

From the Author:
"I believe it to be possible for every human being to attain that blessed and indescribable state in which he feels within himself the presence of God." --Mohandas K. Gandhi
About the Author:
Mahatma Gandhi, the father of Indian independence, is also regarded by many as a Hindu saint. Born in Porbandar in 1869, the youngest son of a provincial royal administrator, he received a law degree in London. Struggling in his efforts to establish a legal career in India, he moved to South Africa, where his practice flourished. He took the lead in a successful movement to guarantee basic human rights to Indian nationals in South Africa, in the process developing a revolutionary form of nonviolent resistance, which he named satyagraha, truth force.
In 1915, Gandhi returned to India, where he ultimately took a leading role in freeing the subcontinent from British rule. For nearly four decades, he opposed colonial oppression by implementing mass civil disobedience actions, leading marches, undergoing personal fasts, and preaching nonviolence and racial and religious equality. He achieved worldwide recognition not only as a political activist, but also as a religious teacher whose convictions dissolved cultural and institutional borders. He was assassinated in 1948 by a Hindu fundamentalist, five months after the establishment of Indian independence.
