'''Tolstoy Farm''' was the first [[ashram]] initiated and organized by [[Mohandas Gandhi]] during his South African movement. At its creation in 1910 the ashram served as the headquarters of the campaign of [[satyagraha]] against discrimination against Indians in Transvaal, where it was located.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tolstoyfarm.com/the_past.htm |title=Tolstoy Farm|publisher=South African Historical Journal, No. 7|date=November 1975}}</ref>
The ashram was named after Russian writer and philosopher [[Leo Tolstoy]], whose 1894 book, ''[[The Kingdom of God Is Within You]]'', greatly influenced Gandhi's philosophy of [[nonviolence]].

[[Hermann Kallenbach]], a Gandhi supporter, allowed Gandhi and seventy to eighty other people to live there as long as their local movement was in effect. Kallenbach suggested the name for the community, which soon constructed three new buildings to serve as living quarters, workshops, and a school. Sjt.pragji desai also helped in this program. There were no servants on the farm, and all the work, from cooking down to scavenging, was done by the inmates.<ref> For Kallenbach and the naming of Tolstoy Farm, see Vashi, Ashish (31 March 2011).
