The Story of My Experiments with Truth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Story of My Experiments with Truth (available at wikisource) is the autobiography of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (or Mahatma Gandhi) and was first published in two volumes, Volume I in 1927 and Volume II in 1929. Gandhi found that uncovering the truth was not always popular, as many people were resistant to change, preferring instead to maintain the existing status quo because of inertia, self-interest or misguided beliefs. My life has been full of tragedies and if they have not left any visible and indelible effect on me, I owe it to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Story_of_My_Experiments_with_Truth   (813 words)

Thinking Aloud My experiments in the political field are now known, not only in India, but to a certain extent to the ‘civilized’ world. But as I have all along believed that what is possible for one is possible for all, my experiments have not been conducted in the closet, but in the open; and I do not think that this fact detracts from their spiritual value. The experiments narrated should be regarded as illustrations, in the light of which everyone may carry on his own experiments according to his own inclination and capacity. mumbiadna.blogspot.com   (1620 words)

The Story of My Experiments with Truth - An Autobiography My life from this point onward has been so public that there is hardly anything about it that people do not know. To describe truth, as it has appeared to me, and in the exact manner in which I have arrived at it, has been my ceaseless effort. That is why my devotion to Truth has drawn me into the field of politics; and I can say without the slightest hesitation, and yet in all humility, that those who say that religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion means. www.shubhayan.com /gandhi/chap169.html   (905 words)

The Story of my Experiments with Truth By Mahatma Gandhi-Part 1 Chapter 2 There is an incident which occurred at the examination during my first year at the high school and which is worth recording.

Last check: 2007-10-10) Reader will find contradicting aspects in his personality as he tries to be modest yet appears to be self-glorifying; he ends up compromising the quality of writing. Much of the book is about his experiments with his diet and thus becomes a bit repetitive (and some of the information is quite unnecessary). It can also be a bit confusing since it does not conform to the chronologic pattern as he seems to be jumping time with some of his chapters. www.textkit.com /0_8172290810.html   (379 words)

Powell's Books - Documenta11_platform2: Experiments with Truth: Transitional Justice and the Processes of Truth and ... The catastrophic fate of European Jewry during the years of National Socialism in Germany and the subsequent calamity of the holocaust for both Jews and other minorities under the Third Reich have continued to press on contemporary thinkers and historians the difficult task of coming to terms with its features. In the wake of the debates around such violations, new and formidable categories of jurisprudence are emerging in which such notions as transitional justice, global justice, and universal jurisdiction are working to reshape the nature of judicial sovereignty on the one hand and accountability on the other in the post-cold war period. Experiments with Truth engages with the vicissitudes of the emerging debates around Truth and Reconciliation, new forms of global justice, testimonies and memories of communities. www.powells.com /biblio?partner_id=719&cgi=product&isbn=3775790802   (262 words)

Last check: 2007-10-10) Consumer Summary - I approached this book with some trepidation as my Indian friends are divided in their attitude to Gandhi (some regard him almost as a saint, others are far more ambiguous). I suppose an equally legitimate method would be to adopt an opposite approach and start with a biography then finish with this book. Full appreciation of this book may only be possible if you are either Indian or have a better knowledge than mine. www.bookreviewsandsummaries.com /books/0807059099.htm   (345 words)

Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments With Truth - Cookie Nest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) Although accepting of his status as a great innovator in the struggle against racism, violence, and, just then, colonialism, Gandhi feared that enthusiasm for his ideas tended to exceed a deeper understanding. He says that he was after truth rooted in devotion to God and attributed the turning points, successes, and challenges in his life to the will of God.

Contact with Christian missionaries, who poured scorn on Hindu beliefs and encouraged converts to display anti-Hindu behaviour (as a sign of their new beliefs), suggested to him that this was not an example of true faith.

The Virtual Bookcase, Book Details and Reviews of 'Autobiography : The Story of My Experiments With Truth' Gandhi's nonviolent struggles in South Africa and India had already brought him to such a level of notoriety, adulation, and controversy that when asked to write an autobiography midway through his career, he took it as an opportunity to explain himself. His attempts to get closer to this divine power led him to seek purity through simple living, dietary practices (he called himself a fruitarian), celibacy, and ahimsa, a life without violence. It is in this sense that he calls his book The Story of My Experiments with Truth, offering it also as a reference for those who would follow in his footsteps. www.virtualbookcase.com /book/detail/25000068   (465 words)
