Synopsis Vinoba Bhave’s contribution in political and socio-economic struggle for the attainment of swaraj was a significant phenomenon in the annals of our sub-continent. A true Gandhian as he was he appeared to be a saint from his dress which indeed was very simple. His sincere identification with the causes of the rural people made him quite popular. His Bhoodan and Gramdan movements brought about significant and historic results. The book has deep bearing on swaraj, democracy as he realised, the Bhoodan movement, Gramdan movement, progress, and extent of the Bhoodan, nature of donation, his mass contact programme and last but not the least the legacy which he left for posterity. Thus the theme contains ten chapters on his ideology and philosophy of life. This work would be a useful study for teachers, scholars and students in India and abroad.
