1. Towards the end of a hectic worldly career, one searches for his spiritual identity.

The collections that follow is one such effort by the authors, during their reading of

various publications ( Newspapers, Periodicals, Magazines, Books etc.) and hearing of

discourses.

2. Readers are requested to enhance these collections by :

. correcting / modifying the existing information

. adding additional information on existing topics

. adding additional topics

3. The objective of circulating the compilation is to initiate one right from childhood

( instead of waiting for retirement ! ) ; for one’s eternal bliss depends wholly on

spirituality – while the worldly pursuits cater to his struggle for survival with duals of

joy / sorrow etc.

4. This is meant for a layman – starting from children and therefore details and texts have

been avoided.

5. The Supreme God has been referred to as Vishnu in the Vishsitadvaita school, six (shan) madas in the advaita school etc. In this collection, while concepts are common to all schools, specific illustrations are based on theVaishnava school , as the authors belong to this school and are familiar with it.

6. One can venture into elaborate study through various publications - a list of publishers

has been covered in section 10.

7. We acknowledge the various sources of information; individual credits is next to impossible

as they are limitless and overlapping.
