Prof.
K.K. Murthy, has dwelt at length the uniqueness of each temple, and
its antiquity and the festivals that are being celebrated in the
intervening periods. He had also indicated the various routes to
reach the temple for the benefit of pilgrims. He stressed the need
to observe some rituals before undertaking pilgrimage and during its
course also. It is gratifying that Prof. K.K. Moorthy chose to write
about the abodes of Gods spread over throughout the breadth and
length of India. This book is first of its kind in the series. Apart
from books of perennial and ethical values, he also
showed keen interest in research work and as well in literature.
Thus he wrote many short stories and- novels in Telugu and also on
Byron in English and found himself famous. In fact, there are number
of books to his credit both in English and Telugu. The author had
the humble beginning after completion of graduation, but his quest
for learning is enormous and this led him to acquire Master's
Degrees from Banaras Hindu University, through hard work and
perseverance and finally had become Professor and Head of
Department of English in a College of Tamil Nadu. Thus he reached
the heights in academic career and simultaneously developed ardent
love and involvement in multifarious religious activities.
