Lars Lindström (1943–2018) was since 1999 a professor in pedagogy. In 2008 he became a professor at Stockholm University at the Department of Educational Science where he worked on technical, aesthetic and practical traditions of knowledge. Lars’ interest in Gandhi’s philosophy was stimulated by his father’s interest in religion. Lars’ father, Henning Lindström was a lecturer in Christianity and its history. During Lars’ early college years, while traveling to Thailand and Laos Lars learned about the rise of Buddhist militant action against communist regimes. After these experiences, Gandhi’s peace philosophy became important to Lars.  It was above all Gandhi’s aesthetics and the importance of images that inspired Lars’ research. To interpret the beauty of words as the inner meaning of images became Lars’ hallmark. In Lars’ view, no one gave life to pictures through words and actions like Gandhi. During this fall the Gandhi Collection will be categorized and made available through SASNET’s library and eventually in Lund University’s Asia Library. This is the second Gandhi Collection that SASNET has received. The first collection is a donation from the private library of the Swedish historian Karl Reinhold Haellquist, who passed away in 2000.
