What a performance!

Sagar Arya nailed his performance as Bapu. Excellent audio book. The book of course is legendary and a must read/listen for any Indian and a recommended reading for humanity in general. One might agree or disagree with Gandhi on individual issues but the overall force of his character cannot be denied.

Wow ! What a Great life filled with experiments !!!

Thank you DK Audio for bringing out this masterpiece in Audio book format. Beautifully narrated by Sagar Arya. Like the Gandhi movie, this one is also a must listen for every Indian.
It’s a shame that I am reading this book at age 45. But better late than never.
I strongly believe that listening to this book has brought in a profound impact on me.
How did Gandhi manage to live such an eventful life. Full of experiments, many of them so dangerous. Really wonder how he survived for 79 years even after being so tough on himself.
Kasturba Gandhi must have been a Great soul. Else it is not possible for a normal person to put up with all that Gandhi did.
Gandhi remembers the names of thousands of characters whom he has come across in his life and mentions them in the book. Looks like, he maintained a journal of his entire life in a disciplined way.
But this book doesn’t cover his journey with respect to his contribution in the final phase of India’s freedom struggle. I am very keen to read his version of the same.
This book has kindled my interest to read more about Gandhi and his works. And of course, he has a deep influence on the reader and this would for sure bring in many changes in my lifestyle.

An epic legend but monotonous...

I wanted to learn about the life of the great people and the decision they made that got them into the places where they were, so what better person than our Bapu, so i started listening to this book. After listening to about 18 hrs of this book, i found that Gandhiji was just like every other introvert during the initial stages of his life, shy and reclusive. But then as the book progresses you find out the decisions that he made, if not all, almost all of them were morally right. Just one right decision after another you slowly see what it takes to be a Mahatma. There are moment during the book where you ask yourself, how can someone be so simple, self reliant and make so-many sacrifices, yet be in the happiest state of mind. Also the voiceover is just plain amazing, its like Ghandiji himself is telling us about his life. The voice is so calm and peacefull, if you are not carefull you may fall asleep, happend to me more than once, lol.
But if you are person who generally does not like history and anecdotes, well then this book might not be for you, because it is full of description of events and so many different people whom ghandiji came across and different dilemmas that Ghandiji had. Well what do you expect it is a autobiography afterall. Howmuchever amazing the story of Ghandiji is, it gets boring, there are rarely any exciting moments. So if you are a person who enjoys exhillirating and stimulating books, then maybe you won't like this one. If you are looking for a thrilling read , I recommend - Param Vir-Vikram batra(GL Batra), Wings of fire(APJ Abdul Kalam), Elon Musk (Aslee Vance), Can't hurt me (David Goggins).

The Narration makes it Better

Lot to process. dellayed reading this for a long time. Happy that i finally read it.
Makes you realize that afterall, Gandhi too was an ordinary man who became The Gandhi by toiling throughout life.

the origin recording of Gandhi at the end made you it a good ending...

The story of my experiment with Audible!

The story of my experiment with Audible has helped me achieve my long time due wishes of reading some of these great books. Thanks to Audible.
Mr. Sagar Arya's narration is excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed.

Absolutely an amazing book!

An eye opener to a marvellous life well lived. That it was inspirational is an understatement.

The height of being moral

This is an awesome book and it is very well narrated by Mr Sagar Arya.
One who wants to know about morality and sustainable way of life should read or listen to it. It explains a lot of concepts like Integrity, Brahmacharya, Honesty, why we should do fasting, tolerance and many more.

Truth means Hahimsa

Difficult to review The Mahatma's Autobiography in my little experience about life and selfless work.....everyone must listen and if we adopt and practice few of his character means a lot to our life. 🙏🙏
