Dear Swamin:
This is in continuation of my earlier mail in which I had just reproduced
the draft of Review proposed by Sri ANC Swamin for publication in "Sri
Kanchi Perarulalan". I have sent he following reply to him.
For your information.

=========================================================
Dear Swamin:
Kindly accept my heartfelt thanks to you for your impressive expression of
appreciation of my humble work. IMHO, they were meant to provide me an
opportunity more out of love and affection than as a result of recognition
of my capacity (or the lack of it) to live up to the standards mentioned by
you.
You have rightly pointed out that one can work wonders with Anugraham of
Acharyas. There can be no truer words than these. I have mentioned this in
the ?Author?s Acknowledgements? in which I have stated ?The book has been
made possible by the graceful benediction of my Acharya, Srimad Andavan,
Poundarikapuram Swami Asramam. I am proud to say that I am the recipient of
Paripoorna Kataksham of His Holiness.
I repeat: ?If there are any merits in the book, the credit goes to these
masters. Any variations or deviations are due to my own lack of knowledge,
lack of understanding and lack of experience.I hereby implore forbearance?
I feel confident that with Acharya Kataksham and blessings of Scholars like
you, I can live up to the standards, at least over a period of time.
I feel that you may delete the following words ?
1. In the Preamble
?or even the third millennium of Christian era and sixth millennium of
Kaliyuga.?
2. Under ?Devotion towards Acharya?
?which can be considered as the eighth wonder of the world?
I have proof read your write up with spell check etc. and am again attaching
it at the end of this mail. You may feel free to publish it in Kanchi
Perarulalan.
The review has appeared in The Hindu dated 22nd June 2004, and
Sri Nrisimhapriya (Tamil?June 2004) and (English ?July 2004) issues.
Smt Vasudha Narayanan, Professor of Religion, University of Florida and
President, American Academy of Religions, has also sent her evaluation.
I have sent them attached to my previous mail for your kind information.
A million thanks to you, Swamin.
