I would like to say to the diligent reader of my writings and to others who are interested in them that I am not at all concerned with appearing to be consistent. In my search after Truth I have discarded many ideas and learnt many new things. Old as I am in age, I have no feeling that I have ceased to grow inwardly or that my growth will stop at the dissolution of the flesh. What I am concerned with is my readiness to obey the call of Truth, my God, from moment to moment, and, therefore, when anybody finds any inconsistency between any two writings of mine, if he has still faith in my sanity, he would do well to choose the later of the two on the same subject.

M. K. GANDHI Harijan, 29-4-1933, p.2

Readers of the Harijan are aware that in later years Gandhiji had come to believe that Ramanama was not only an effective aid in controlling the mind but was also an infallible remedy for most of the ills of the body. His writings about Ramanama therefore assumed a deeper significance during these years. While issuing this second edition we have taken the opportunity to add some later writings on Ramanama by Gandhiji to the original selection and have also added a chapter from Manubehn Gandhi's book - Bapu - My Mother. The chapter though forming part of Manubehn's diary is in fact a report of Gandhiji's devotion to Ramanama almost in his own words. We trust the additions will please all lovers of Gandhiji's writings on Ramanama.

Many of the earliest books about Gandhi and his associates, particularly those dating back to the 1940s, 1950s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive
