Mahatma Gandhi: Lifelong Learner, Integralism in Action Series (3 Lectures)

Gandhi's experience of social injustice (in South Africa in 1906), coupled with the inspiration of his wife Kasturbhai, enabled him to formulate his teaching of satyagraha (truth-force) which served as the basis of his experiments in social and moral reform during the subsequent forty years of his life. Gandhi's relationships with his family, his collaborators, and his opponents and his own inner life, as well as with his Indian roots and Western influences, all show his ability to learn under stress, and in public. Ramchandra Gandhi responds eloquently and at length.
