introduction to the Rudrashtadhyayi…“Rig Veda – the wisdom of

Dear Nanda ~ pranams and thank you for this second installment in the

Rudri study. I ordered the book a few days ago and await its arrival

with excitement. :::jumping up and down with enthusiasm::: I love

the way you so clearly laid everything out, and was especially

surprised and delighted to see a whole Veda, the Rig Veda, devoted to

the wisdom of hymn. To one for whom singing has been so crucial in my

life, this is like getting a big present, all tied up in a pretty

bow. My voice doesn't work too well anymore, though, if I stay in

Silver City, I have found a new voice coach who will work with me,

with my given limitations, starting sometime after the new year. I

can't wait to read more. : ) Again, thank you so much.

Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda
