Abstract
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the significant development of Mahatma Gandhi’s faith and belief in Hinduism. Gandhi follows his spiritual journey from initial skepticism to firm conviction. The present study discusses an important influence of Blavatsky’s “Key to Theosophy,” the direction provided by Raichandbhai, and the revival of Hinduism that was led by Swami Vivekananda. In this connection, Gandhi’s comprehensive conception of religion, stress on action, humanitarianism and his rational, yet pragmatic approach to Hinduism are further investigated. Particularly, the article focuses on Gandhi’s emphasis on Ahimsa having the pursuit of truth by non-violent means.
