Shrimad Rajchandra & Mahatma Gandhi
The father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi is a well known personality across the world because of his achievements primarily through the practise of ahimsa or non-violence. However, very little is known publicly about Shrimad Rajchandra or the spiritual insights he shared that shaped Mahatma Gandhi.
It is difficult to fathom the depth of the wisdom of these two pre-eminent personalities. Only an articulate and accomplished author like Dr Kumarpal Desai can paint a vivid picture of their relationship in words.
This English translation of Kumarpalbhai's Gujarati book is written to bring awareness of this divine relationship to the English reading community and inspire us to follow the path of truth and ahimsa.
