This is a biography of Acharya Vinoba Bhave who is called Father of the Bhoodan movement, a constructive work movement aimed to build new India of Mahatma Gandhi's dream. Vinoba became a world figure in the early fifties. He was admired for the originality of his ideas, for their clarity and for his knowledge of many languages. He was a nationalist, no doubt, but he was a universal man - a citizen of the world. He made no distinction of any kind between individuals and he never thought in terms of group and clash of national loyalities. He studied with reverence the scriptures of nearly all religions. His personality was a combination of a sage and a saint.
