About The Book: The Gospel of Selfless Action: Or the Gita According to Gandhi is Mahatma Gandhi's interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita, emphasizing selfless action (Karma Yoga). Gandhi integrates non-violence (Ahimsa) and truth (Satya), central to his philosophy. He teaches that actions should be performed without attachment to results, dedicating them to the greater good, free from selfish desires. For Gandhi, Karma is not just physical action but the intention behind it. His interpretation encourages fulfilling one's duties (Dharma) with spiritual discipline, promoting selfless service as the path to liberation. This work offers practical guidance for living a life of compassion, integrity, and service.
