Beyond my toleration, as a
matter of fact. Their good intention and frank expression worked like an opiate
and made me oblivious of time and place. Meeting me after reading the Somanath
write-up in the Abodes of Gods Series No. One, which appeared first in Saptagiri
Monthly, one exclaimed loudly
- Is there such an intellectual writer in Tirupathi? We are honoured by your
stay here ... Your assumption, approach, argument, generalizations are superb
... The opening part of every write-up is a master-piece and the sub-heading
'Uniqueness' is a unique of uniques. Maintain and lift the traditional method
from the bog ... Ah! What a presentation! The get up, layout are excellent ...
Your books are received like Prasad from Tirupathi, and they last longer ... You
are a sage, if not such feat could not have been demonstrated ... Each item exhilarated; its grip cannot be released easily ... Inspired by the contents and
their narration, I convinced my guide of Chicago University approve my doing
research work on the temple, basing on a write-up in your book. It was okayed
... though we have been in the field producing temple books and religious
treatises for more than seven odd decades we have not done such wonderful work
so far as you have permit us to translate into our vernacular ... Our
periodical will be enriched with the reproduction of your grand articles! Honour
us with your acceptance for regular reprinting in to to in our journals ... I
feel glad to commend your books to Temple Libraries, and Information Centres. go
ahead with many more ... I am preserving them as sacred scriptures and read
every day a page or so for spiritual elevation ... let not slackness in sales
prevent you from further production, carry on uninterrupted ...
