Dear Dr. Badlani,

Please accept my loving greetings. Glad to receive your letter. Thanks for the book on Hinduism you wrote with so much dedication and sincere research. You have worked hard for so many years and the book is the outcome of that.

I did not get a chance to read the whole book yet. I glanced through the pages and was deeply impressed to see that you have wonderfully expressed your ideas in a very lucid English, which has made it more readable by those who will not otherwise read such text. Thanks for that great attempt. You have given enough references to substantiate your points--that is also very helpful for the readers. I hope and pray that your labour of love will receive appreciation from readers and they will benetit in understanding Hinduism in the proper spirit. My heartfelt love and appreciation for your nice work. May the Divine Mother bless you and keep you in good health--is my prayer.

With lots of love,
Sarvadevananda
