Mahatma Gandhi: The Bhagavad Gita - A Book of Ethics for All Religions

Mahatma Gandhi: The Bhagavad Gita – A Book of Ethics for All Religions examines the Bhagavad Gita through Gandhi’s reflections on its ethical and philosophical teachings. The discussion places emphasis on ideas such as duty, self-discipline, non-attachment and the relationship between belief and action. It offers readers a way to explore how Gandhi interpreted the text and applied its principles to questions of personal conduct and public life.

The Bhagavad Gita has been interpreted in different ways across religious and philosophical traditions. Reading Gandhi’s commentary can help readers understand his particular perspective and compare it with other interpretations. The themes of action, responsibility and ethical choice remain relevant to discussions of philosophy, religion and social change.

This English-language book is published by Lotus / Roli Books. It may suit readers interested in Gandhi, the Bhagavad Gita, Indian philosophy and interfaith ethics. It offers one interpretive lens rather than a substitute for the original text or the range of traditions that discuss it.
