It is not what we think of our poverty,but what people think of our poor  Condition. It is not what we think of our failurem, but what people think of our illness, It is not what we think of our failure, but what people think of our failure. As a matter of fact,we devlop emotional distress by contemplating what people thisk of us. That is my first observation. The Second one is that sometimes we are too hard on ourselves.We have difficulty forgiving ourselves,and we cannot accept our imperfections,Very often we push purselves to the limits with our habits,our passions,and our desire to do better than others. In essence, we are not kind to ourselves.Sometimes,we even punish ourselves.Our need for improved relationships and our need for compassion toward self are two major themes in this book."

The Bhagavad Gita Bccording to Gandhi

 Title

The Bhagavad Gita Bccording to Gandhi

   Author   Mahatma Gandhi
   Description

When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face and I see not one ray of light on the horizon, I turn to the Bhagavad Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow." The Bhagavad Gita or "Song of God" is one of the world's great scriptures. The story of the warrior Arjuna's battlefield conversation with the divine Krishna, it holds the universal essence of Hindu philosophy and wisdom. Mahatma Gandhi's translation and commentary on the Gita, presented to his followers at prayer meetings over a nine-month period in 1926, is regarded in India as one of the most important of the twentieth century. In clear and simple terms, Gandhi addresses the concerns that most directly effect the spiritual lives of common people. He draws on his extraordinary life experiences and profound inner searching to illuminate what he describes as "the gospel of selfless action." His Gita is a call to detached service to others and devotion to God, for readers of every faith.

Prayer

Prayer

   Author   Mahatma Gandhi
  Description I believe that prayer is the very soul and essence of religion, and, therefore, prayer must be the very core of the life of man, for no man can live without religion." - M. K. Gandhi Prayer brings together Gandhi's most important writings on spiritual practice and his relationship with God. Compiled from five decades of letters, articles and books, it opens with an exploration of the meaning of prayer, which addresses the concerns of readers of every faith. The second section describes methods of prayer. Here Gandhi presents ideas that were to revitalize Indian religious traditions, ideas that are readily applicable to western experience. He discusses not only forms of prayer, but also the abuses of institutions that compelled him to forge his own spiritual path. The third section explores the power of Ramanama, the continual repetition of God's name, which Gandhi regarded as a supreme form of prayer. Prayer concludes with a moving account of Gandhi's assassination and the role played by prayer in his final moments.

Book of Prayers

 Title

Book of Prayers

   Author   Mahatma Gandhi
   Description I believe, and I want you all to believe, that the constant reading of these, with faith, will be a greater source of strength than letters from me, or than living with me." -M. K. Gandhi Throughout his adult life, in communities he founded in South Africa and India, Mahatma Gandhi led group prayer services every morning and evening. For this purpose he compiled, over a period of decades, a hymnal of poetry and scripture taken from many religious traditions-including Hindu, Christian and Moslem. In 1930, for the benefit of followers from the West, Gandhi himself produced a translation of this collection into English. Book of Prayers brings its most beautiful and moving passages to American readers for the first time. Book of Prayers includes 108 lyrics, taken mostly from Indian sacred literature, including selections from the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the inspired poetry of Kabir, Mira, Tulsi and other Indian mystics. Its message, however, crosses cultural boundaries, and speaks directly to universal spiritual aspirations. Its heartfelt and unadorned literary style, achieved through meticulous attention to the language and spirit of the original texts, embodies the Mahatma's profound humility and simplicity of life.

The Way to God

   Author   Mahatma Gandhi
   Description "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." -M. K. Gandhi 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.

Vows and Observances

Vows and Observances

   Author   Mahatma Gandhi
   Description  "I am not here asking you to crowd into the ashram... But I say that every one of you may enact that ashram life individually and collectively. I shall be satisfied with anything that you may choose from the rules I have ventured to place before you and act up to it." --M. K. Gandhi Vows and Observances presents the heart of Mahatma Gandhi's teachings on the practices of daily living. Drawn from four works written for residents of his religious community, Satyagraha Ashram, it explores in detail "The Eleven Observances", which for many Western readers will call to mind the Judeo-Christian Ten Commandments. Vows and Observances addresses the fundamental issues of life and society from the perspective of a man whose ideas are based not only on study and meditation, but also on decades of experimentation in community living. His writings on truth, love, work, poverty and service offer startling and powerful insights. In addition, his discussion of swadeshi, a principle of commitment to local economic activity with roots in ancient India, strikes an important contemporary chord in an era of increasing globalization.

Gandhi the Man

 Title

GANDHI THE MAN

   Author  Eknath Easwaran
   Description
 The world remembers Gandhi as a political leader who led his people to freedom without violence. Here Easwaran examines Gandhi’s personal significance: how he transformed himself, and how we can apply his discoveries in a smaller way, to resolve conflicts in our own lives. This intimate portrait shows how we can use Gandhi’s example in the home, the workplace, and the community – wherever people disagree. “Readers will never forget the look and sound of Gandhi the Man. Here Easwaran reveals Gandhi’s belief that beneath the ‘mask’ of self-obsession ‘is all the glory of our real self: complete fearlessness, unconditioned love and abiding joy.’” – San Francisco Chronicle
