Called a messenger of peace, Arun Gandhi -- Mahatma Gandhis grandson -- has dedicated his life to spreading his grandfathers teachings around the globe. This compelling memoir begins in the heart of apartheid South Africa where the author lived under conditions of zealous racism until he was 12 years old. Following are the two pivotal years he spent with his grandfather in India, learning the lessons that would undo his anger and cultivate a profound activism. His account also describes living with his parents in religious and socially activist communities in South Africa and India. This book presents the practical wisdom the author learned from his grandfather revolving around family, men and women, simplicity, religious unity, humility, truth, and nonviolence.

Review

Humble and reflective . . . . A unique window on Mahatma Gandhi, a man who truly lived the ideas he espoused. -- Science of Mind, July 2003

About the Author

Born in 1934 in South Africa, Dr. Arun Gandhi has dedicated his life to carrying the message of peace. He is a former reporter for the Times of India, and is co-author (with his wife, Sunanda) of The Forgotten Woman: The Untold Story of Kastur Gandhi, Wife of Mahatma Gandhi. After founding Indias Center for Social Unity, an organization dedicated to alleviating poverty and caste discrimination, he came to the United States in 1987 to study and compare the prejudices in South Africa, India and the U.S. Four years later, he and Sunanda established the M. K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, which is based at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tennessee. Dr. Gandhi is a tireless advocate for the principles of nonviolence, working with young people, in the criminal justice system, and with nonviolence organizations. He also appears at conferences and workshops throughout the United States, addressing issues of racism, nonviolence and international cooperation.

This is well written and easily readable, sharing the non-violent teachings espoused by Ghandi's grandfather. These teachings are more important today than at any other time in the recent past.

I only rate books that I can give the highest mark. Arun Ghandi tells the story of life with his famously wise grandfather. I've read Mahatma Ghandi's autobiography, and this book made me admire him even more.

This book is a good and easy read. I like how Arun narrates the story and the titles of each chapter. I think as he wrote this book it was not only a dedication to Ghandi, but a reflection for him as he has struggled on the path of non-violence. There are many lessons to be taken from this book. It forced me to think about my actions, commnity, the world, and U.S. This book is more than just than a movement, but an ideology that is sound. The author never said his grandfather was wrong or that his beliefs were the way, but it is an offering of thinking of everything around you differently. A majority of what is said in the book is something we can identify or even guilty of.

For one of the reviewers who writes Arun Ghandi is a bigot...lol. His comments concerning Isreal and Jews, he only spoke what he felt was truth. I didn't find anything he said not true. I think his comment was taken out of context and meant to be misconstrued. Of course when you have everyone against you, they want to see you fall. Arun Ghandi continue spreading the word.

I love this book. I learned about it when Arun came to speak and decided to buy it. Great introduction to the ideas of nonviolence in a very simple and short (read it the first time entirely in a single day) format. Have leant it out to several others to help spread the word.

Arun Ghandi: Bigot and Racist

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 10, 2008

Please consider Mr. Gandhi's ongoing attacks against Israel as well as his latest statement that "the Jews are the biggest players" in global violence (WashPost OnFaith, Jan 10, 2008).

Such statements are extremist, false, and extremely biased. Do you want to support such an author?
