And
with them alone, it has made monumental contribution to religion. And what is no
more, they are transforming it into a spiritual light-housie of India. All but
in a short, negligible period of a quarter century. It has many unique features
and novelties. So, let us enter and see for ourselves the distinctions that
demarcate it from the age-old shrines.
But
a duty legitimate detains me here for a minute - redemption of my debt of
gratitude to those instrumental for the release this book. Sri. K. Subba Rao,
MA, Editor, Saptagiri, appears first, if the order of preference is given
credence. His zeal for dissemination of religion and encouragement to writers
are so great that he lets not any worthy cause, serving the augmentation of
Santhana Dharma slip from his grasp.
His
shrewd examination of the material submitted for AID, and efforts to see it pass
through several stages if it is deserving is worthy of adulation. Religion lives
and spirituality moves at his deserving is worthy of adulation. Religion lives
and spirituality moves at his touch, hence my whole hearted gratitude. Mr. V.
Sreesan's continued assistance merits gratitude. The Expert Committee headed by
the enlightened and religious-minded Executive Officer along with the devout
theist members, who give tacit approval are adorable and deserve genuine,
instant, whole-hearted thanks.
