About the Book:

Mahatma Gandhi's Letters on Brahmacharya, Sexuality and Love by Girja Kumar is a book that deals with the fundamental principles of Brahmacharya. Mahatma Gandhi was a celebrated writer and some of his best literary works include his autobiography, Gita according to Gandhi and the exclusive compilation of his works. This is one such book that allows the reader into a world not explored earlier. A significant portion deals with controversial, yet notable experiments with Brahmacharya.

This real life story offers a never before illustration of the life of the Mahatma based on the letters he wrote to his associates.  It delves into the noteworthy events in his personal life, and his views on Brahmacharya, love and sexuality. There is one chapter dedicated to Sarla Devi. Gandhiji looked up to her as his spiritual wife. The book will give you a peek into the failed romance of Mirabehn and Prithvi Singh Azad. The legendry crusader is portrayed in different light. This chapter is dedicated to an uncommon love story of Madeline Slade whom Gandhiji   rechristened as Mirabhen.
