The Legacy of Peace and Truth: Studies on the Life and Work of Mahatma Gandhi
Keywords:
nonviolence, self, satyagraha, absolute truth, radical humanity, Theosophical Society, inner-outer revolutionSynopsis
The monograph sheds light on diverse aspects of Mahatma’s life and work. In particular, his multifaceted confrontations, in theory and, above all, in practice, with complex dimensions of the Indian reality that were based on his concept of Truth, Religion and freedom. It also looks at his faith in the power of nonviolence, which he pursued for the common good and, through his global vision of peace, went beyond any then contemporary political agendas and thus, beyond India’s struggle for independence. As is the case with all the contributions to this monograph, Gandhi’s thought is foremost an experience that takes its most genuine expression beyond theory and gives it a dynamic, creative and inimitable character, while at the same time, and this is particularly remarkable, it is pervaded with the spirit of universality, immutability, timelessness and ever-lasting relevance and topicality that go beyond the borders of India.
