Finally, I extend my grateful thanks to
several authors of books, folders and booklets, particularly to Sri. J.H. Dave
and Sri. M.S. Mate, whose scholarly works. "The Immortal India" and
"Temples and Legends of Maharashtra" supplied me enough fuel to
steering this chariot for your benefit. My daughter Kavitha and son Kiran
discharged their routine duties ungrudingly, as in the past. So, deserve God's
benedictions. I owe my thanks to the dynamic Proprietor. KRBE Printers, Madras
and his efficient staff for their excellent work and Sri C. Nageswara Rao Garu
Manager, Visalandhra. Vijayawada for extending full cooperation in the printing
work. All is said everyone is paid his due, except you the reader, of course
awaiting my attention. So dear look, I am raising the curtain on the Archamurthi
of Kolhapur temple for darsan. Circumambulate first and bow to her for grant of
infinite luck and trouble - free journey. And then pray to several deities
enshrined in many mini-shrines and grand pavilions, as you move from one corner
to another for your salvation, and to my gratification too.
Your Sincerely,
K.K. Moorthy.
