Start with Bhagavad Gita.It was a major source of inspiration for many leaders during the Independence movement including Bal Gangadhar Tilak and is often referred to as a spiritual dictionary.

We will discuss Shrimad Bhagvad Gita with reference to Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi's reason for calling Gita his eternal mother like our proverbial mother provided conditional love and support and lifted his spirit and led him kindly to light. It showed him the way from darkness to light, eternal truth and eternal breath. Therefore he referred to it as his mother.``Unto this last” was written by John Ruskin, first published and a series of articles in Corn Hill magazine. Gandhi turned his book into nine Paraphrases. The book was in Gujarati language in Indian opinion. Later it was published as a pamphlet with the title Sarvodaya meaning Welfare of all. The kingdom of God is within you is the title originate from Luke is peak of the principle of non violence and resistance when confronted by violence one has to be defensive in nature and give up the game of Revenge. Gandhiji considered it as a most important inspiration to adopt the philosophy of nonviolence.
