Mahatma Gandhi, one of the greatest influencers in the world, was
himself influenced by trailblazing thinkers and writers like
Tolstoy, Ruskin, Thoreau, and others-each one contributing
significantly to his moral and spiritual development. Yet only a
few people know the most consequential person to have played a
pivotal role in the making of the Mahatma: Shrimad Rajchandra.
About the unparalleled influence of this person, Gandhi himself
wrote: "I have met many a religious leader or teacher... and I must
say that no one else ever made on me the impression that
Raychandbhai did." Uma Majmudar, digging deep into the original
Gujarati writings of both Gandhi and Rajchandra, explores this
important relationship and unfolds the unique impact of
Rajchandra's teachings and contributions upon Gandhi. The volume
examines the contents and significance of their intimate spiritual
discussions, letters, questions and answers. In this book, Dr.
Majmudar brings to the forefront the scarcely known but critically
important facts of how Rajchandra "molded Gandhi's inner self, his
character, his life, thoughts and actions." This Jain zaveri
(jeweller)-cum-spiritual seeker became Gandhi's most trusted
friend, as well as an exemplary mentor and "refuge in spiritual
crisis."
