Synopsis: “The Spirit's Pilgrimage by Madeleine Slade is a spiritual memoir that chronicles the author's journey from a privileged life in England to a life of service in India. Slade, who was known as Mirabehn, was a disciple of Mahatma Gandhi and played a significant role in India's struggle for independence. The book begins with Slade's childhood in England and her early years as a socialite. However, after reading Gandhi's autobiography, she felt a deep calling to serve the Indian people and left her comfortable life to join him in India. The Spirit's Pilgrimage details Slade's experiences living with Gandhi and his followers, as well as her involvement in the Indian independence movement. She writes about the challenges she faced as a foreigner in India and the sacrifices she made to serve the cause she believed in. Throughout the book, Slade reflects on her spiritual journey and the lessons she learned from Gandhi. She writes about her struggles with ego and attachment, and how she found peace and purpose through her service to others. Overall, The Spirit's Pilgrimage is a moving and inspiring memoir that offers a unique perspective on India's struggle for independence and the power of spiritual transformation.”-Print ed.
