INTRODUCTION |

Now
comes the the redemption of indebtedness. For inspiration,
subsistence, and successful accomplishment of this great mahayagna,
many visible and invisible agencies contributed their mighty mite,
when solicited in person or by letters. First in order comes the
reference books that formed the bedrock of his work. They are
acknowledged
separately .
Coming to the one immediate and infinite assistance extended,
I must mention first T.T. Devasthanams Experts
Committee, whose sagacious selection and magnanimous grant
for publication of this book is unparalleled and unforgettable.
Shri N.S. Ramamurthy M.A. Editor-in-charge of Saptagiri was generous
enough to accept the late submission of the script and strove to see
it come out tagged with the lable "A id Granted". My
palms join at the mention his name, and to the members of the
Committee and its Chief for their bounteous help. My
friend-philosopher-guide Mr. Sreesan, Sub-Editor (English) who
supplied the available books from his personal library, time and
again ungrudgingly and liberally deserves reverent mention and
whole-hearted grateful thanks. And to Mr. Srinivasan M.A. Sub Editor
(Kannada) too for enlightenment on temples of Karnataka, More than
the routine turn out, my daughter Kavitha put in strenous efforts
for over six months towards the completion of the work in several
aspects, like typing, proof-reading, coating etc., son Kiran, who
attended to mailing cum typing, and misus for supplying steaming
cups of tea more often than not merit highest appreciation and God's
infinite compassion. I invoke the grace of the Almighty Providence
to bless them for future bright and life prosperous.
