The Influence Of The Bhagavad Gita On Mahatma Gandhi’s Life

Abstract

When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day. “This was said by Mahatma Gandhi, a spiritual and political leader of India, in one of his speeches.
