Voice of the Guru- Saundaryalahari

[Guest guest]

I am extremely happy to know that the volume "Voice of the Guru-

Saundaryalahari", which is the English translation of Mahaperiyaval

Sri Sri Chandrasekharendra Sarasvati's glorious speeches is evoking

so much interest among saktas. Due credit must be given to the

translator, the late Sri R Gopalakrishna (R.G.K), who was an

accomplished journalist and author. Apart from the aforesaid work,

R.G.K has also brought out two other translations, viz. "The Guru

Tradition" and "Hindu Dharma- The Universal way of life".

R.G.K was someone who was very close to me and hence it is a

personal joy that his painstaking efforts have not gone a waste.

Before his death in August last year, R.G.K, was working on another

translation of Mahaperiaval's discourses dealing with Ganapatya and

the esoteric significance of Ganapati. But unfortunately he passed

away before it could be completed. I believe that it would be a

blessing to the world If someone amongst the distinguished members

of this group or any competent person for that matter, would take up

the himalayan task. Able individuals who feel that they can take the

responsibility may contact me for a copy of the proofs of my uncle's

translation.
