Introduced to the Gita at the age of eighteen, Gandhi read, reread and reflected over each chapter\nand passage, each verse and its meaning. He compared its precepts with those of the Bible’s Sermons\nand with other religious hymns he grew up with. In his characteristic Gandhian style, he was not\nsatisfied to just read but to understand, to not only understand but to experiment with its truth,\nand then rigorously practise it. \nThis book gives a holistic understanding of Gandhi’s ideology which was heavily derived from the\nGita. It is not an opinion on the text or even its analysis but, a fundamental dive into the meaning\nof the life lessons it offers. It teaches ethical education which people belonging to all faiths may\nbenefit from reading. Gandhi went ahead to claim that ‘Gita is not only my Bible or my Koran, it\nis my mother... my eternal mother.’
