Spiritualism is awakening afresh with all the essence of humanism. To Mahatma Gandhi, it is something more than mere awakening. It is a practice and poignance for manifestation of inward perfection for a better beyonding of consciousness. A reformer with a revolutionary" as Rabindranath Tagore remarks with reverence, Mahatma Gandhi probes deep into the core of spiritualism and guides for a gradual ascent of man. His objectives and strategies for spiritualism are adorned with Sarvodaya, the welfare of one and all and also with the aesthetic excellence of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. He makes a happy fusion between religion and spiritualism often unduly misinterpreted even now in Gandhian, and steps ahead with the vision of mysticism a serene stream of spiritual profoundness in man the non-violent.
A comparative study of Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda as con- noisseurs of spiritual consciousness might open out newer vistas of spiritualism and might also be endeared and appreciated as a very significant contribution to Gandhian studies.
The first of its kind in radical approach and innovation, Gandhian Spiritualism might contribute to the re-emergence of man from the global moratorium of doped consciousness.

To enter into the heartland of humanity is to search for the essence of excellence. Mahatma Gandhi, an apostle of inner excellence, invigorates humanity with the unending quest for the ascent that truly represents man as a spiritual aspirant. For such an ascent, Gandhi makes a practical approach to the day to day affairs of life from where man paves newer avenues for worthier excellence in spiritual poignancies. "The Ascent of Man and Spiritualism: Gandhian Perspectives" is a quest for this end in view. "Spiritual Education: Gandhian Viewpoints" spells out the manifold objectives of education as a spiritual experience, which even now awaits serious rethinking in the context of unfortunate ukase in education.
Spiritualism as a great exposure of the awakening of mass consciousness is yet to receive wider appeal. Admittedly, Gandhi launches his movement of sarvodaya not merely as an ethical and moral force, but essentially as an all-embracing spiritual revelation of humanity in course of synchronization of diverse behavioural designs. "Sarvodaya and Spiritualism: Gandhian Exposures" is an indepth. analysis to negotiate this objective.
The Aesthetics of Gandhian Spiritualism" is a critical approach to the intrinsic components of Gandhian aesthetics in relation to revelation of spiritual excellence, and, as such, it marks a significant avenue of spiritualism as a symbol of Truth, Goodness and Beauty.
That religion and spiritualism are closely interlinked, is an age- old truism that Gandhi emphasizes from the practical points of view. Man, in his spiritual vision, finds a newer approach to spiritualism only because he is primarily a harmonized being always striving for the good of one and all. "Religion and Spiritualism: The Gandhian Bonds of Harmony" is a critical study on this objective.
