It has been seventy-five years since Mahatma Gandhi departed from our midst, but his life and soul continue to animate humanity transcending national and international boundaries. His contribution to human development is far too great and varied to have been forgotten or to be overlooked. The world today recognizes him as a far more compelling social innovator than humanity ever realized. Written in the 1920s, Gandhi?s autobiography tells of his struggles and his inspirations; a powerful and enduring statement of an extraordinary life. In 1999, the book was designated as one of the "100 Best Spiritual Books of the 20th Century" by a committee of global spiritual and religious authorities.
