About the author
Mahatma Gandhi
1,261 books6,449 followersMohandas Karamchand Gandhi, commonly known as Mahatma Gandhi, was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Employing non-violent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for non-violence, civil rights and freedom across the world.
The son of a senior government official, Gandhi was born and raised in a Hindu Bania community in coastal Gujarat, and trained in law in London. Gandhi became famous by fighting for the civil rights of Muslim and Hindu Indians in South Africa, using new techniques of non-violent civil disobedience that he developed. Returning to India in 1915, he set about organizing peasants to protest excessive land-taxes. A lifelong opponent of "communalism" (i.e. basing politics on religion) he reached out widely to all religious groups. He became a leader of Muslims protesting the declining status of the Caliphate. Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women's rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, increasing economic self-reliance, and above all for achieving Swaraj—the independence of India from British domination. His spiritual teacher was the Jain philosopher/poet Shrimad Rajchandra.

Lo leí con muchas expectativas, pensando que en sus páginas iba a encontrar a Gandhi, su genialidad de pensamiento expresada en palabras, pero nada de eso ocurrió. Es más bien un cuaderno de pensamientos, no su vida.

Lo que más gustó es lo que tiene que ver con los animales y el Ahimsa.

Es su filosofía de vida, en lo que el cree

This book taches you some good things, I liked the ahisma definition and when he talked about religion acceptance, independently of which religion is it.
The thing is the redaction is boring most of the time, and it sometimes says the opposite he said in a past chapter, so it´s confusing, also, some of his habits where a little exaggerated from my point of view.

Es un conjunto de reflexiones muy acertadasm que si bien pueden guiar la vida de un hombre explicadas de un contexto adecuado, en este libro carecen de significado y hacen que el lector se sienta poco identificado.

¡Un buen libro! con una amplia reflexión dirigida al respeto que se deben tener todas las religiones entre sí. Lleno de reflexiones respecto a sus pensamientos y forma de ver la vida y el mundo.
