"The great soul in beggar’s" garb is how Rabindra Nath Tagore addressed Gandhi, one of history’s greatest figures. The paradox—that neither Gandhi’s philosophy nor his role as a politician evokes as much interest as the simple incidents of his life—continues to persist. Gandhi as a man remains the subject of an abiding interest to the common people because he personally symbolised those eternal values that make human life worth living.

"This monograph seeks to present the Mahatma’s philosophy through the ordinary events of his life. It tells in a readable style the various aspects of his life which amply unfold Gandhi’s philosophy in action." (jacket)
