The Vedanta was an inseparable part of Swami Vivekananda’s personality. He lived and breathed this philosophy while preaching it to India and the West. While Vivekananda’s landmark address at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893 established him as modern India’s great spiritual leader, his popularity and appeal is attributed to his ability to integrate his human side with his profound spiritual side.

The 19th century was an exciting time of initiative and enterprise around the world. If John D. Rockefeller was creating unimagined wealth in the United States that he would put to the service of the nation, a Parsi family with humble roots was doing the same in India. The Tatas is a tribute to a line of visionaries who have a special place in the hearts and minds of ordinary Indians. Written by seasoned journalist Girish Kuber, this is also the only book that tells the complete Tata story spanning almost 200 years.

Interesting but not the author's best

Publisher's Summary
To mark the 150th anniversary of Gandhi's birth, DK presents the audiobook of The Story of My Experiments with Truth: An Autobiography, narrated by Sagar Arya.
Gandhi's nonviolent struggles against racism, violence and colonialism in South Africa and India had brought him to such a level of notoriety and adulation that when asked to write an autobiography midway through his career, he took it as an opportunity to explain himself.
He feared the enthusiasm for his ideas tended to exceed a deeper understanding of his quest for truth rooted in devotion to God. His attempts to get closer to this divine power led him to seek purity through simple living, dietary practices, celibacy and a life without violence.
This is not a straightforward narrative biography. In The Story of My Experiments with Truth: An Autobiography, Gandhi offers his life story as a reference for those who would follow in his footsteps.
A well-known Indian actor, Sagar Arya has narrated over 35 audiobooks, including White Teeth by Zadie Smith, Love Like Blood by Mark Billingham and audiobooks by Amish, and he brings his wealth of knowledge to this production. His television credits include A Touch of Frost, Hunted, Spooks, Casualty and Holby City. He appeared as Claudio in RSC's Much Ado About Nothing as well as Twelfth Night (West End), The Great Game (Tricycle) and A Fine Balance (Hampstead).

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).

I did struggle to read it cause it's too long for someone getting in the groove of reading but I must say that it's totally worth it!
It's relatable at many points, insightful at many more and thought provoking at some. The experiments with diet and medical healings were really really the most interesting for me to follow!

The story of self control and public service
It’s through ‘Ahimsa’ that God can be perceived and it’s through ‘Sachia Garah’ that society can be transformed. Gandhi lived according to what he believed in, this book contains the story that how did he put his beliefs to practice and what outcomes did he experience. At the end turn of 19th century when Darwin, Einstein and Freud were putting forward their scientific theories, Gandhi was exploring some spiritual domains.
