INTRODUCTION
Ere your enter the state of Maharastra, there blows over your ears, puffs of
sublime breeze, saturated with the sounds of clanging of cymbals and singing of
abhangas,
in praise of supreme deities, invariably those of Panduranga Vittal, the darling Lord of both
class and mass of the theist community of the entire erstwhile Bombay State, comprising
the present Sourastra and Maharastra, renowned for its intense religio-political activity. The
sons of the soil, tilling the fertile fields of Philosophy and Politics by their honest toil and
moil, reaped bumper crops of FREEDOM to snapping the pasas binding mankind to this
mundane world, or to its ruthless autocrats. The primacy of their rare culture stupified the
worlds here on earth and there in heaven. Their exalted humanist approach to the
down-to earth problems and exemplary tenacity exhibited to solving them so exulted even the
uncompromising hard - hearted antagonists, descending from the bloated high, hollow
pedestals, they knelt before them in token of approval of the policies pursued. And the
supreme soul-force of the highly evolved transformed beasts into saints, inanimate into
ever blooming and never-withering enticing sights that pleased celestials to that extent of
appearing again and again for bestowing boons infinite that converted them into
torch-beares.
