Bapuna Ashramman
by Haribhau Upadyayઆ પુસ્તક ઇતિહાસનું કે ચરિત્રનું નથી. સંસ્મરણોનું છે અને એ લખતી વખતે ભગવાન કૃષ્ણ પ્રત્યે ગોપીઓના આ મામિર્ક અને સાર્થક વચને મને સદા પ્રેરણા આપી છે: तव कथामृतं तप्तजीवनं कविभिरीडितं कल्मषापहम्| श्रवणमडलं श्रीमदाततं भुवि गृणन्ति ते भूरिदा जना:|| હે વહાલા, તારી કથા તો અમૃતની ધારા છે. એ સંતાપમાં પડેલા જનોને જીવન, શાંતિ અને શીતળતા આપે છે. કવિઓએ એની ઘણી પ્રશંસા કરી છે. એ પાપનો નાશ કરનારી છે. એના શ્રવણથી મનુષ્યનું કલ્યાણ થાય છે. એ સમૃદ્ધ છે, અને નિત્ય છે. એથી જે કવિઓ એનું ગાન કરતા વિચરે છે, તેઓ જગતને એક અતિ કીમતી વસ્તુનું દાન કરે છે.

by Dashrathlal Shahગાંધીજી જે જાતના સમાજની નવરચના કરવા માગતા હતા, એમાં આ એકાદશ વ્રતોના પાલનને સ્થાન હતું. આશ્રમ એની પ્રયોગશાળા કે તાલીમશાળા હતી. આશ્રમના નાનકડા સમુદાયમાં જો વ્રતો મૂતિર્મંત થાય તો વિશાળ જનસમાજ એને અપનાવશે એવી એમની શ્રદ્ધા હતી. આવી શ્રદ્ધા સાથે સત્યાગ્રહાશ્રમ, સાબરમતીમાં પંદર વર્ષ વ્રતપાલનનો એક સામુદાયિક પ્રયોગ એમણે કર્યો. આ અભિનવ પ્રયોગ દ્વારા એમણે બતાવી આપ્યું કે સત્ય અહિંસાદિ વ્રતો એ કંઈ મોક્ષમાર્ગી સાધુસંતોનો ઇજારો નથી; સામાન્ય જનસમાજ પણ એનું આચરણ કરી શકે છે. ગાંધીવિચારના હાર્દ સમા આ એકાદશ વ્રતોની મીમાંસા અનેકોએ અનેક રીતે કરી છે. પ્રસ્તુત પુસ્તિકા ‘મંગળપ્રભાત’નાં બાપુનાં એકાદશ વ્રતો વિશેના શ્રી દશરથલાલ શાહના લેખોનો સંગ્રહ છે. ગાંધીપ્રેમીઓ અને વિશેષ કરીને ગાંધીદર્શનના વિદ્યાર્થીઓને એ ઉપયોગી નીવડશે એવી શ્રદ્ધા છે. —મગનભાઈ જો. પટેલ
Bapune 10 Anjali
by Amrutlal Vegadબાપુના જીવન સંબંધી વિશાળ સાહિત્ય-મંદિરમાં, કંઈક લજ્જા અને કંઈક સંકોચ સાથે, ભાઈ અમૃતલાલ પણ એમનો લઘુ પૂજાથાળ લાવ્યા છે. એની સાથે ન તો ઘંટા-ઝાલરનો ઘનઘોર ઘટાટોપ છે, ન સ્તવ-સ્તોત્રોનો સીમાહીન સંભાર. બસ નાનોશો — કદાચ માટીનો બનેલો — થાળ છે, થોડીશી દિવેટો, જેમાં પૂજારીની અન્તર્મુખી દૃષ્ટિનો સ્નિગ્ધ પ્રકાશ છે. અમૃતલાલ વ્યવસાયે શિલ્પી છે, એટલે રંગ-રૂપ-રેખાઓના પેલા આંતરિક વિરહ-મિલનનો ભેદ તેઓ જાણે છે, સુરુચિ અને સહૃદયતાના રસથી શિલ્પી જેને ભીંજવે છે. એટલે જ એમને સંતુલન સુલભ છે, અને સુષમા પણ. સ્વભાવથી અમૃતલાલ સાધક છે, એટલે મંગલની કલ્પના એમને અનુપ્રેરિત કરે છે. એમની શૈલી આમ શિલ્પીની સૂઝ અને સાધકની બૂજનાં તત્ત્વોથી આપોઆપ ઘડાઈ ઊઠી છે. બાપુ જો કેવળ સંગ્રહાલયમાં સજાવીને રાખવાની વસ્તુ ન હોય, તો અમૃતલાલની આ રચનાઓ આપને જરૂર ગમશે. — મોહનલાલ બાજપેયી

Barack Obama's America: How New Conceptions of Race, Family, and Religion Ended the Reagan Era
by John Kenneth White"White'sBarack Obama's Americaeloquently captures both the important nuances of the current political scene and its long-term consequences. " ---Richard Wirthlin, former pollster for Ronald Reagan "This delightfully written and accessible book is the best available account of the changes in culture, society, and politics that have given usBarack Obama's America. " ---Stan Greenberg, pollster for Bill Clinton and Chairman and CEO of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research "From one of the nation's foremost experts on how values shape our politics, a clear and compelling account of the dramatic shifts in social attitudes that are transforming American political culture. White's masterful blend of narrative and data illuminates the arc of electoral history from Reagan to Obama, making a powerful case for why we are entering a new progressive political era. " ---Matthew R. Kerbel, Professor of Political Science, Villanova University, and author ofNetroots "John Kenneth White is bold. He asks the big questions . . . Who are we? What do we claim to believe? How do we actually live? What are our politics? John Kenneth White writes compellingly about religion and the role it played in making Barack Obama president. White's keen insight into America's many faiths clarifies why Barack Obama succeeded against all odds. It is a fascinating description of religion and politics in twenty-first-century America---a must-read. " ---Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland and author ofFailing America's Faithful "InBarack Obama's America,John Kenneth White has written the political equivalent of Baedeker or Michelin, the definitive guide to and through the new, uncharted political landscape of our world. White captures and explains what America means---and what it means to be an American---in the twenty-first century. " ---Mark Shields, nationally syndicated columnist and political commentator for PBS NewsHour "John White has always caught important trends in American politics that others missed. With his shrewd analysis of why Barack Obama won, he's done it again. " ---E. J. Dionne, Jr. , Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution, and University Professor in the Foundations of Democracy and Culture at Georgetown University The election of Barack Obama to the presidency marks a conclusive end to the Reagan era, writes John Kenneth White inBarack Obama's America. Reagan symbolized a 1950s and 1960s America, largely white and suburban, with married couples and kids at home, who attended church more often than not. Obama's election marks a new era, the author writes. Whites will be a minority by 2042. Marriage is at an all-time low. Cohabitation has increased from a half-million couples in 1960 to more than 5 million in 2000 to even more this year. Gay marriages and civil unions are redefining what it means to be a family. And organized religions are suffering, even as Americans continue to think of themselves as a religious people. Obama's inauguration was a defining moment in the political destiny of this country, based largely on demographic shifts, as described inBarack Obama's America.

Barack Obama: Conservative, Pragmatist, Progressive
by Burton I. KaufmanIn this insightful biography, Burton I. Kaufman explores how the political career of Barack Obama was marked by conservative tendencies that frustrated his progressive supporters and gave the lie to socialist fearmongering on the right. Obama's was a landmark presidency that paradoxically, Kaufman shows, resulted in few, if any, radical shifts in policy. Following his election, President Obama's supporters and detractors anticipated radical reform. As the first African American to serve as president, he reached the White House on a campaign promise of change. But Kaufman finds in Obama clear patterns of classical conservativism of an ideological sort and basic policy-making pragmatism. His commitment to usher in a multiracial, multiethnic, and multicultural society was fundamentally connected to opening up, but not radically altering, the existing free enterprise system. The Affordable Care Act, arguably President Obama's greatest policy achievement, was a distillation of his complex motivations for policy. More conservative than radical, the ACA fitted the expansion of health insurance into the existing system. Similarly, in foreign policy, Obama eschewed the use of force to affect regime change. Yet he kept boots on the ground in the Middle East and supported ballot-box revolts geared toward achieving in foreign countries the same principles of liberalism, free enterprise, and competition that existed in the United States. In estimating the course and impact of Obama's full political life, Kaufman makes clear that both the desire for and fear of change in the American polity affected the popular perception but not the course of action of the forty-fourth US president.
