BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF THE PRINCIPAL CHARACTERS

1.  KUSUMA SRESHTI

His life on earth began in the dim past - to be precise during the reign of Swarochisha Manu, the patriarch venerable and a reputed emperor of Bharata Khanda. He was named Samadhi then and led a righteous life. He was highly religious and developed great passion of everything godly. On account of excessive obsession with paraloka chintana, he decided to perform penance in deep woods.

Convincing his family members - particularly his dharmapathni and loving children he went to forest. To his good fortune, he met a great Brahmin scholar well-versed in the Vedic lore.  Learning from him secrets of life and sports of Sri Mahavishnu to his heart's satisfaction, he did penance propitiating MOTHER Omkaraswarupini for three long years to get himself liberated from the cycle of births and deaths. 

She graced darsan, pleased with his austure tapas. When questioned the objective of his penance, he said that he wanted emancipation along with his own gotrikas numbering 101 and all must leave behind a splendid record of self sacrifice and exemplary ideals for the world to adore and implement for Viswasreyas.
