Soulful Ideology

This book, "Soulful Ideology" is a small initiative towards finding a platform with a hope to understand Gandhi's principles by focusing on topics pertained to religion, humanity and pathways of nonviolence. It gives a precise account on the core aspects of his ideology. One could also find a philosophical Gandhi who saw human kind and moral livelihood as a matter of creed and way of life. His principles and political ideologies are still relevant and are for discussion by scholars and critics for its vastness and applicability in the masses of today's world. His Ahimsa is as questionable as it was in the beginning during his times. Today's youth could not find answers for matters like Ahimsa and Satyagraha being a possible solution for their ends. It is important to understand the ideological Gandhi, the causes and effects of his words that have worked during his times. His are the words sounded from the soul force in action. His writings are the manifestation of the Great Soul speaking. This edition of the book includes topics such as "Means and the Ends", "The workings of human nature", "Islam illustrated", "Hinduism", "Vows", "Soul" and "Silence". All these topics portray detailed revelations in the areas of religion, human character, nonviolent path to success and disciplinary aspects in carrying out one's life. The author has tried to unearth the unexplored areas of philosophy and principles of Mahatma Gandhi that had never been discussed or wrote elaborately in the Gandhian literature. "Means and the Ends" enlightens the reader with not just the meaning of these terms but elicits the need for nonviolent means. "The workings of Human nature" explains how Gandhi's nonviolent struggle was carved out of people's intricate human nature of those days. "Islam illustrated" is an account of real conventions of Islam as a religion and how it has been terrorized in today's world. "Vows" discusses the importance of taking of vows in one's life and elaborate Gandhi's eleven vows for a better understanding of its purpose. "Hinduism" gives a precise account on Sanatana Dharma, a religion of mystic ideas and philosophical values. The topic "Soul" explores the aspect of the spiritual soul in Hindu context and how soul force by Gandhi worked out. "Silence" discovers the importance and effectiveness of being silent as it looks into Gandhi's observance of silence as not only a method for discipline but to avoid conflicts as well.
