On
the eve of bringing out the 2nd Edition, nothing, I presume, can be
a more fitting beginning, than thanking lavishly the theist
community and intellectual fraternity, who read and are reading,
cither for information to visit these hoary temples for gaining
merit, or to augment their dissertations to be submitted for scaling
higher academic ladder, for fulfilling my sole ambition
dissemination of the spiritual wisdom of our sacred IND. My joy at
going to the press in a short period of 30 months is so great that
it out-weighed all the worries, caused by hurdles, rows,
disappointments that squeezed the sap of my life, to speak the
truth. For, I played several roles-writer, Publisher, Distributor,
Seller etc. to making the 1000 copies of the first edition reach the
discerning readers scattered all over India. And abroad too. The
experiences read like a fascinating tragi-comedy. Its didacticism
failed miserably, though it tried with all its might to mould me
into altogether a different man-a business man, for my firm
conviction that writers alone shape the destiny of mankind and rill
the world with bliss remained firmer than before. Has not Shelley
pronounced-authors are the unacknowledges legislators of the world?
Though it made me wise, it did not rise my monetary position. Never
regretted, since my aim in taking up the several roles is, as said
not for profit, but promotion of our Sanatana Dharma, its nucleus
being the integration of diverse nationals and divine sentiments. A
little more of this is necessary now for full comprehension of the
idea of starting the Message Publications. So read.
