It would not be wrong to say that this book, though apparently a thing of paper and ink, is actually made of love. While sitting at the computer and typing I would frequently be overwhelmed by the task that I had undertaken- that of translating and adding fresh material to a book about my Guru! I wondered if I was equal to the task and prayed that he would guide me and that the book would take shape in exactly the way he wanted it to.
With Guruji's blessings and with the loving support of so many of his disciples who contributed in many different ways the book is now ready and you are holding it in your hands. May his love and blessings reach out and touch you through the pages of this book!
I want to mention here, all those people who are a part of this book. First of all a huge debt of gratitude to Kavi Kamal Jain on whose Hindi version “Naya Gagan Naya Surya" this book is primarily based. Secondly, Roli Srivastava, whose Hindi language skills helped me immensely in the translation. I could not have done it without her. Mahesh Verma has been at my side throughout this endeavour with his advice and help and Vandana Verma and Neha Verma have contributed their time, effort and loving support for this book in every way.
