ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Mr. Damodar Lund, English and Aesthetics Professor, deeply interested in mysticism and

Buddhism and an ardent disciple of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, was a regular participant in the

satsangs held by Maharaj at his residence. This book is the product of the notes, he took during

the meetings, which he left behind, before his untimely death. Mrs. Kamala Lund, his wife, was

kind enough to allow me to use the notes for the preparation of the book. She wanted it to be

distributed freely on the Internet, as Maharaj would have wanted it, had he been alive. Mr.

Pradeep Apte, in spite of his hectic schedule was kind enough to edit the notes in preparation of

the book, for which I am extremely grateful. I am also thankful to my friend Mr. Gajanan

Netrawali, who encouraged me to take up this task, and also to put up the website for free

materials on Maharaj. -VIJAYENDRA DESHPANDE
