Selected Letters of Mahatma Gandhi By M. K. Gandhi THE SELECTED WORKS OF MAHATMA GANDHI VOLUME FOUR GENERAL EDITOR SHRIMAN NARAYAN Rupees Six Hundred For set of five volumes © Navajivan Trust, 1968 Price of this set of Selected Works of Mahatma Gandhi is subsidised by Navajivan Trust ISBN 978-81-7229-278-2 (set) Printed and Published by Vivek Jitendra Desai Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad-380 014 (INDIA) Phone: 079 – 2754 0635, 2754 2634 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.navajivantrust.org\ Selected Letters of Mahatma Gandhi FOREWORD This volume contains selected letters written by Mahatma Gandhi from time to time. Very few of these letters were published in Gandhiji's own lifetime. After his passing away, systematic efforts were made to collect numerous letters written by him to many friends and co-workers. We have tried to select and classify under different heads significant thoughts contained in these letters. In the first part of the Volume, we have included about a hundred letters in their complete form. Most of these letters were written on memorable occasions. I am sure the reader would be able to get an insight into Gandhiji's rich and varied personality through these letters. The second part contains Gandhiji's ideas which have been lifted from a large number of letters written by Gandhiji to many of his co-workers as well as men of public importance. Most of these ideas are of universal significance and would, I am sure, interest our readers in different parts of the world. Shriman Narayan Raj Bhavan Ahmedabad, October 16, 1968 www.mkgandhi.org Page 2 Selected Letters of Mahatma Gandhi PUBLISHER'S NOTE A deluxe edition of Selected Works of Mahatma Gandhi was released in 1969. It went out of print in about six months. To meet the popular demand for it and to make it available to individual readers at a reasonable price a new soft- cover edition was soon released. It, too, was enthusiastically received and the entire stock of the publication was sold out in less than three years. We are very happy to say that the set was reprinted and was offered at a subsidised price to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee year of Navajivan Trust during 1993-94. Looking to its continuous demand and so also to fulfill Navajivan's objective of propagating Gandhian Literature, its eighth reprint is being published with new size and type-setting. We are sure, this new edition, too, would be well-received by individual readers, in order to enrich their personal library. www.mkgandhi.org Page 3 Selected Letters of Mahatma Gandhi GLOSSARY Abhanga: devotional metrical poetry in Marathi Advaita: Vedantic concept for Monism Advaitavadins: believers in Advaita Aman: freedom from desire of respect Ashram: one of the four stages of the Hindu way of life; a place for renunciation; a place for disciplined community life Asuri Sampat: mind's propensities leading to evil darkness Avatar: incarnation Bhagawadgita: The celestial poem containing cream of the deepest Hindu thought—specially highlighting the doctrine of Karma—selfless action Bhagawat: mythological work of divine glory Bhakta: a devotee Bhakti: devotion Brahma: The Supreme Brahmabhuta: one immersed in the spirit of Brahma Brahmacharya: chastity, continence; literally conduct to God-realization Chitta: enlivened mind Charvaka: materialistic school of thought known by the name of its preacher Daivi Sampad: divine-higher propensities of mind leading to man's upliftment Daya: compassion Dharma: one's path of duty; religion www.mkgandhi.org Page 4 Selected Letters of Mahatma Gandhi Dwadasha Mantra: the sacred verse of 12 syllables dedicated to Lord Krishna Gayatri: consecrated Vedic mantra of immense potency Guru: a spiritual guide; teacher Gurudev: a reverential term for guru, guru hailed as god Jay Rama: Glory to Rama Khadi, Khaddar: hand-spun & hand-woven cloth-in Kshatriya: a warrior; one belonging to the second division of the pristine Hindu society Lok-sangraha: that leading to conservation of society Mantra: a sacred and pithy verse Maya: denoting illusive nature of the transient world Moksha: salvation; liberation from birth & death Muni: a recluse; one keeping silence to meditate on the Divine Mauna: silence Punya: accrued merit from service & devotion, etc. Rakshasas: demons; evil-doers Ramanama: the name of Rama; recitation of His name Ramayana: the Epic of Rama by Valmiki www.mkgandhi.org Page 5 Selected Letters of Mahatma Gandhi Rishis: those given to deep austerity & penance to explore Eternity; men of wide vision Sadhana: spiritual practice Sattvic: denoting the divine qualities of mind Satyagraha: clinging to truth; soul-force; Gandhi's weapon of non-violent resistance Satyagrahi: one wedded to Satyagraha doctrine Shastras: scriptures Shloka: metrical verse of devotion Sirkar: Governmental or local authority Sthitaprajna: man of steady mind; one risen above dualities Tamas & Rajas: mind's propensities leading to darkness and self-activity respectively Tapas: penance; austerity Tapascharya: one given to practising penance Thana: police station Vaishnavas: devotees of Vishnu—the Divine Dispenser Vedas: the Earliest Hindu scriptures in lyrical form emanating perennial wisdom.

    CARLETON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF THE HUMANITIES Humanities 4904 A (Winter 2011) Mahatma Gandhi Across Cultures Mondays 11:35-2:25 Prof. Noel Salmond Paterson Hall 2A46 Paterson Hall 2A38 520-2600 ext. 8162 [email protected] Office Hours: Tuesdays 2:00 - 4:00 (Or by appointment) This seminar is a critical examination of the life and thought of one of the pivotal and iconic figures of the twentieth century, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi – better known as the Mahatma, the great soul. Gandhi is a bridge figure across cultures in that his thought and action were inspired by both Indian and Western traditions. And, of course, in that his influence has spread across the globe. He was shaped by his upbringing in Gujarat India and the influences of Hindu and Jain piety. He identified as a Sanatani Hindu. Yet he was also influenced by Western thought: the New Testament, Henry David Thoreau, John Ruskin, Count Leo Tolstoy. We will read these authors: Thoreau, On Civil Disobedience; Ruskin, Unto This Last; Tolstoy, A Letter to a Hindu and The Kingdom of God is Within You. We will read Gandhi’s autobiography, My Experiments with Truth, and a variety of texts from his Collected Works covering the social, political, and religious dimensions of his struggle for a free India and an India of social justice. We will read selections from his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, the book that was his daily inspiration and that also, ironically, was the inspiration of his assassin. We will encounter Gandhi’s clash over communal politics and caste with another architect of modern India – Bimrao Ambedkar, author of the constitution, Buddhist convert, and leader of the “untouchable” community.

    “In the Creator's Image: a Metabiographical Study of Two

    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 18, Issue 4 (Nov. - Dec. 2013), PP 44-47 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org “In the Creator’s Image: A Metabiographical Study of Two Visual Biographies of Gandhi”. Preeti Kumar Abstract: A metabiographical analysis is concerned with the relational nature of biographical works and stresses how the temporal, geographical, intellectual and ideological location of the biographer constructs the biographical subject differently. The changing pictures of Gandhi in his manifold biographies raise questions as to how the subject’s identity is mediated to the readers and audience. Published in 2011, the Manga biography of Gandhi by Kazuki Ebine had as one of its primary sources the film Gandhi (1982) directed by Richard Attenborough. However, in spite of closely following the cinematic text, the Gandhi in Ebine’s graphic narrative is constructed differently from the protagonist of the source text. This paper analyses the narrative devices, the cinematic and comic vocabulary, the thematic concerns and the dominant discourses underlying the two visual biographies as exemplifying the cultural and ideological profile of the biographer. Key terms: Visual Biography, metabiography, Manga, Gandhi, ideology Biography, whether in books, theatre, television and film documentaries or the new media has become the dominant narrative mode of our time. The word „biography‟ literally means „life-writing‟ from the Medieval Greek: „bios‟ meaning „life‟ and „graphia‟ or „writing‟. The earliest definition of the term was offered by Dryden in his introduction to the Lives of Plutarch, in which he referred to “biography” as the “history of particular men‟s lives”.

    Gandhi's View on Judaism and Zionism in Light of an Interreligious

    religions Article Gandhi’s View on Judaism and Zionism in Light of an Interreligious Theology Ephraim Meir 1,2 1 Department of Jewish Philosophy, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan 5290002, Israel; [email protected] 2 Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS), Wallenberg Research Centre at Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch 7600, South Africa Abstract: This article describes Gandhi’s view on Judaism and Zionism and places it in the framework of an interreligious theology. In such a theology, the notion of “trans-difference” appreciates the differences between cultures and religions with the aim of building bridges between them. It is argued that Gandhi’s understanding of Judaism was limited, mainly because he looked at Judaism through Christian lenses. He reduced Judaism to a religion without considering its peoplehood dimension. This reduction, together with his political endeavors in favor of the Hindu–Muslim unity and with his advice of satyagraha to the Jews in the 1930s determined his view on Zionism. Notwithstanding Gandhi’s problematic views on Judaism and Zionism, his satyagraha opens a wide-open window to possibilities and challenges in the Near East. In the spirit of an interreligious theology, bridges are built between Gandhi’s satyagraha and Jewish transformational dialogical thinking. Keywords: Gandhi; interreligious theology; Judaism; Zionism; satyagraha satyagraha This article situates Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s in the perspective of a Jewish dialogical philosophy and theology. I focus upon the question to what extent Citation: Meir, Ephraim. 2021.

    1895 Jugatram Dave Was Born on 1St Septembe

    MR. JUGATRAM DAVE Recipient of Jamnalal Bajaj Award for Constructive Work-1978 Born: 1895 Jugatram Dave was born on 1st September, 1895 at Laktar (Kathiawar). He studied upto Matric at Bombay and worked in a Gujarati monthly Vismi Sadi for some time. As the Bombay climate did not suit him, Swami Anand sent him to Baroda in 1915, where he worked as a teacher in a village school under the guidance of Acharya Kakasaheb Kalelkar for a couple of years. In 1917 he went to Ahmedabad to join the Kochrab Ashram and later shifted to the Sabarmati Ashram. He became an ideal ashramite, earning the confidence of Gandhiji and Kasturba. He worked first as a teacher in the national school established by Gandhiji and later joined the Navjivan Press. Jugatrambhai was deeply impressed by Gandhiji’s Constructive Programme and wished to take it up in right earnest on his own. This he could do only in 1924, when he went to stay at the Swaraj Ashram, Bardoli. He took an active part in flood relief operations in 1927 when many parts of Gujarat were devastated by floods and later in the Bardoli Satyagraha in 1928 under the leadership of Sardar Vallabbhai Patel. Soon afterwards he set up an ashram at Vedchhi, in the Raniparaj area inhabited mostly by Adivasis, as he felt that constructive work was most needed in uplifting the people of this socially and economically backward area. Jugatrambhai was, however, not able to give his undivided attention to organize and develop the Ashram activities on a wide and systematic scale till many years later.
