"Among the many things that I observed from
over two decades of psychologycal counseling,two
are: (1) our need for relationships and (2) the
need for us to compassionate teword
ourselves.Most of our problems are
relationship-based and what brothers us most is
what people think of us. 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 According 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
|
|
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
|
| 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. 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 |

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
|
|
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
