Mahátma Gándhí Libros

Las palabras de Mahatma Gandhi son un luminoso testimonio de no violencia y de paz. En ellas se revela la verdad del ser en una dimensión e intensidad que pocos seres humanos han alcanzado. No cabe separación alguna entre la paz interior y la exterior. Ambas son una sola cosa, y para Gandhi una vida sin violencia es tan santa como la verdad. Ahora bien, para seguir el camino de la no violencia se requiere un valor inaudito: el valor del Mahatma, el «alma grande». MOHANDAS KARAMCHAD GANDHI nació en 1869 en Porbandar (Gujarat), India. Su vida estuvo marcada por la lucha en favor de la verdad y la no violencia. Fue asesinado el 30 de enero de 1948, en Delhi, por un fanático hindú. La Editorial Sal Terrae ha publicado El que sigue el camino de la verdad no tropieza.

Before he returned to his native India from South Africa, where he had been working as a lawyer, Mahatma Gandhi-now known as MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI (1869-1948), the spiritual leader of the movement for Indian independence and a passionate proponent of civil disobedience as a force for social change-was ejected from the first class cabin of a train, even though he held a valid first class ticket, and was forced to travel in the squalid third class cars. In 1917, after he returned home, Gandhi produced this extraordinary look at the plight of the poor in India, as prismed through the experience of a rail journey from Mumbai to Madras. From the filthy, overcrowded conditions in third class to his philosophical musings on the cures for what ailed the downtrodden of that nation, this brief, vital work offers a remarkable insight into the thinking of one of the 20th century's greatest heroes, and essential background for the acts that made him so powerful and so beloved.
