Man as an infinite essence of humanism is perhaps on the verge of denouement. As an introspective visionary par excellence, Mahatma Gandhi makes serene inroads to humanism not from without but from within where the solemn phoenix of human reawakening is reborn in the holy urn of consciousness and evolution.
Diverse and multidimensional as the Gandhian strategies of humanism are, the socio-cultural aspects of humanism side by side with religion in the form of Daridranarayana or Sarvodaya as an unparalleled aesthetic force for global human welfare bring forth a luminous and unending exposure of Gandhi as an ardent humanist. Here is an innovative study - Gandhian Humanism-towards this direction. It also makes an introspective approach to Gandhian viewpoints on education as a purified process of self- askance, self-enrichment and self- revolution to forge ahead in the quest for true humanism. A comparative study on Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi as harbingers of humanism is the most prominent indepth area of research which might attract and invite erudite criticism from every esteemed reader of this book.
A significant contribution to Gandhian Studies for global peace and humanism.
IF HUMANISM is man's real identity as man, Gandhian humanism is more than that. He goes deeper into the problems of human consciousness and probes into the inner sensibilities of mankind. There are neither any theorics nor are there any dogmas to uphold humanism as something novel or new in him but where he departs from others in evolving a new concept of humanism is: it is Love and Truth for which man is and eternally thrives for the fusion of man and the All Beautiful. "Gandhian Humanism: Inroads to Inner Awakening" and "Objectives and Strategies of Gandhian Humanism" are pointers to the essence of Gandhian Humanism.
That religion is nothing but to synchronise diverse faiths and religious beliefs towards the welfare of mankind is discussed in "Religion and Humanism: Gandhian Guidelines". What makes Gandhi rather a revolutionary is that the socio-cultural aspects of humanism find a new language in his service towards humanity - a fact discussed in "Socio-cultural Aspects of Gandhian Humanism".
The Gandhian aesthetics of Sarvodaya is undoubtedly a new dimension in the discovery of human consciousness. It is a concept that embraces humanity for global awareness and global welfare. "Sarvodaya and Gandhian Humanism" is an introspective analysis to this end in view.
Education is always looking within and looking in askance for the exploration of inner consciousness. It is a means to find out and utilise the natural and available resources towards the well-being of mankind. Gandhi, therefore, looks upon education as an unending preparation for service towards mankind in course of self-askance, self-discovery, self-cnrichment and self-cvolution. "The Humanistic Approach to Education Gandhian Viewpoints" is a critical study on these viewpoints of education.
"Gandhian Humanism and Non-violence" and "Tagore and Gandhi : Harbingers of Humanism" carnestly expect learned criticism from esteemed readers.
