Mohandas K.Gandhi
Mohandas K. Gandhi, known as Mahatma (“great soul”) Gandhi, is a revered figure worldwide for his nonviolent action to free India from British rule. His iconic status endures in the United States, through his influence on Martin Luther King, Jr., and in popular culture, including quotations, a blockbuster film, and interest in Hindu spirituality and practices. Readers will discover how Gandhi came to be a member of the exalted pantheon of men for the ages. They will follow him from his family’s home in the provinces to an early arranged marriage, solo sojourn in England to prepare for a law career, and growth from a timid new barrister in South Africa to India’s foremost negotiator with the British power structure. He is shown evolving from a loyal British subject to become the champion of Home Rule for India – often inciting illegal actions to get himself and his supporters arrested to further the cause, and risking his life with his famous hunger strikes.

The Magic Of Awakening
Spirituality in its true form is neither an escape nor refuge. It’s about reconnecting with our real self, understanding our hidden potential, preparing ourselves to deal with emerging situations and much, much more. Spirituality helps by attaching a context to the various occurrences in our everyday life. It also expands human potential to deal with the infinite aspects of life.Until we remove the blindfold of ignorance and understand the real truth about life and living, we’ll continue to believe fallacies and get bogged down by existential dilemmas. The truth of life lies in the art of being one with life—a truth that not only takes us forward in our spiritual quests, but also elevates our level of consciousness. All paths that lead to the truth begin differently but end in the same way—with understanding.Sirshree tells us how to awaken and feel the magic within. He says, ‘All paths that lead to the truth begin differently but end in the same way— with understanding. Understanding is the whole thing . . . listening to this understanding is enough.’ Established in 1999, the Tejgyan Foundation has multiple centres across India. The Foundation has administered several programmes in different countries.
