The Story of My Experiments with Truth by Mahatma Gandhi
The Story of My Experiments with Truth by Mahatma Gandhi is an autobiography organised around the author’s attempts to understand and practise truth, morality and self-discipline. Gandhi recounts childhood, education, marriage, legal work and formative years in South Africa and India.
About the book
Rather than presenting himself as flawless, Gandhi describes mistakes, doubts, diet, faith, family responsibilities and the development of ideas that later shaped his public life. The book reaches only partway through his lifetime and should be read as his own account of personal and ethical development, not as a complete history of the independence movement.
Sarvodaya provides meaningful Sri Lankan context because A.T. Ariyaratne began the movement through a community work camp in 1958 and developed a tradition of grassroots service. This comparison concerns community leadership and does not claim that Sarvodaya derived its work from this specific edition.
