On the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's birth centenary in 1969, the Navajivan Publishing House, which was founded by Mahatma Gandhi himself, had published the first edition of The Selected Works Of Mahatma Gandhi in six volumes with the aim to convey the message of truth and compassion to millions of people in India and abroad. The eminent Gandhian, Shriman Narayan, had edited an excellent representative selection of all the writings of the Mahatma which are of permanent value and have an universal appeal. The first two volumes contain his autobiography, which he called An Autobiography - The Story Of My Experiments With Truth.
The third volume of the series is Satyagraha In South Africa. In the fourth volume Shriman Narayan has collected most of The Basic Works of Gandhi, including titles like Ethical Religion, Unto This Last, Hind Swaraj Or Indian Home Rule, From Yeravda Mandir, Constructive Program and Key to Health. The fifth volume, entitled Selected Letters is of historical interest and contains notable ideas on a variety of important subjects. The sixth volume incorporates all the essential ideas of Mahatma Gandhi on philosophy, religion, culture, economics, politics, sociology and education. It is called The Voice Of Truth. The Selected Works Of Mahatma Gandhi are highly useful for all those who are keenly interested in the study of Gandhian thoughts.
