Description:
This comprehensive biography of Baba Amte has been written by the author after a close association with the Amte family and the communes of Anandwan. She was fortunate to have stayed and closely interacted with the ailing Baba Amte and his family for long periods, during many of her visits to the ashram. The biography is an attempt to narrate the awesomely motivational story of Baba Amte to the urban youth who are straying westwards for inspiration while icons like Baba Amte have remained obscure to them.
