Written between 1916 and 1932, the four works that make up Vows and Observances were written for Satyagraha Ashram, the religious community Mahatma Gandhi founded. In four parts addressing such fundamental questions of life as truth, love, work, and poverty, the writings are as relevant to modern western readers as they were to their original audiences. His discussion of swadeshi, a principle of commitment to local economic activity with roots in ancient India, strikes an important contemporary chord as the world moves toward globalization.

Idol's are made based on their Value's and Principles,
By Nagendra Singh (Meerut, India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vows and Observances (Paperback)
Its Always asked as to "Who Your Role Model in Life Is". Everybody has an instant Answer as to who his/her Role Model is. I believe that a Role Model is one who carries and believe's in his Value's and Principle's that he has set for himself. "Vows and Observances" is where Mahatma Gandhi preaches as to how important it is to have Integrity in oneself and what it takes to make an Vow and why should one put in that extra disciplinary effort to believe and fulfil his Vow.
