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.
