<p>This book is a revised master’s thesis submitted to Concordia University which is a reprint of the 1984 edition. Divided into six chapters this book addresses the issue of Sarvodaya raised by a prominent Indian freedom fighter educator activist and the successor of Mahatma Gandhi Vinoba Bhave. This publication reminds me of Bhave as a successful reformer. This book offers a critical study of Bhave’s effort to bring about revolutionary changes in traditional property polity and family relations and thereby establish economic equality and social justice in modern India. For this purpose it is argued here that Vinoba made extensive use of the familiar Hindu myths and metaphors. The present study therefore also evaluates his relative success as a mythmaker and a transmitter of his cherished ideals and concepts through the medium of myths to his intended audiences.
