Great to see a fine review of the Eng version of Prof. SKR's Kannada classic - Śāradāpīṭhada Māṇikya. Having read the Kannada version, I can recommend it to all those interested in knowing more about an avadhūta's life. 🙏🙏to HH Anantaśrī Chandraśekhara Bhāratī Mahāswāminaḥ

Finally! Author Copies received today... Order links will be made available by the end of the week! All thanks to Bhel Ramen Chat Jee Pea Tee for making it happen!

Waiting for order link! Mighty congratulations. This will be an award winning work.

This is a must buy for anyone who can't read read kannada but still wants to savour the flavours of DVG's Magnum Opus. I'm sure Chandana Sri has done a brilliant job. She combines her passion for aesthetics with a surgical skill for words.😃 Congratulations!

Shatāvadhāni Dr. R Ganesh is my single largest inspiration and he kindly encouraged me and painstakingly reviewed the manuscript several times. His comments were incisive and his appreciation was effusive! Shashikiran BN shaped this work in more ways than one

The most heavenly and soulful rendition that I've come across of "Omkara Swarupa Sadguru Samartha", of course, by Sri Rahul Deshpande: youtube.com/watch?v=NN7O-k…

निवसति शतमपि शरदो गेहे येनानुमोदितं नृशरीरम्। यद्रहितं दिवसार्धे प्रहितं गृहतो नुमस्तमसुगणमनिशम् ।। By whose approval a human body lives for a hundred years in a house, But without whose approval is expelled from its house in half a day, We bow to that group of (vital) airs.

ಈ ಬಾರಿಯ ಗಣೇಶ ಹಬ್ಬದ ಪೂಜೆಗೆಂದು ಆಗಮಿಸಿದ ಮಿತ್ರರಿಗೆ ಕೊಡಲೆಂದು ಚಿತ್ರಿಸಿದ್ದ 'return gifts'. ಇವಕ್ಕೆ ಬಣ್ಣ ಹಚ್ಚುವ ಕೆಲಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಡದಿಯ ಸಹಾಯವೂ ಇತ್ತು.

'So, is Muddled Muff's Musings a word-by-word explanation of the Kagga poems? ' 'No.. ' 'Oh, then it must be your take on the poems' 'No... It's just a rendition of the Kagga in English verse' 'Why though?' Here goes-

न कलौ स्वेन देहेन भूम्यां युक्तेति संस्थितिः। यं नियुज्य गतस्त्वष्टा सोऽभियन्तृगणोऽवतात् ।। May that group of engineers - to whom Twaṣṭā (Viśvakarmā) entrusted his job & left, saying that it is not apt of him to bodily reside on earth in this Kaliyuga - protect. #EngineersDay
