Title: Vows and observances
First published: 1999
Description: "Vows and Observances presents the heart of Mahatma Gandhi's teachings on the practices of daily living. Drawn from four works written for residents of his religious community, Satyagraha Ashram, it explores in detail "The Eleven Observances," which for many Western readers will call to mind the Judeo-Christian Ten Commandments."--BOOK JACKET.

"Vows and Observances addresses fundamental issues of life and society from the perspective of a man whose ideas are based not only on study and meditation, but also on decades of experimentation in community living. In addition, his discussion of swadeshi, a principle of commitment to focal economic activity with roots in ancient India, strikes an important contemporary chord in an era of increasing globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
