To find out, Easwaran visited Gandhi€s ashram and watched the Mahatma absorbed in meditation on the Bhagavad Gita €“ the wellspring of Gandhi€s spiritual strength.

Easwaran, a leading authority on the Bhagavad Gita and on spiritual living, explains the principles underlying Gandhi€s nonviolence. He highlights how we can all use Gandhi€s teachings to make our families, workplaces, and communities more peaceful in the world today.
