Songs From Prison is a collection of translations by Mahatma Gandhi, created during his incarceration in Yeravda Prison in 1930. These translations include hymns and lyrics from Sanskrit scriptures like the Upanishads, as well as works by Indian poets and saints such as Manu, Tulsidas, Kabir, Nanak, Mirabai, Ramdas, and Tukaram. Gandhi originally prepared these translations for his English friends, particularly Mirabehn.
