PUBLISHER’S NOTE

With the blessings of H.H. Sri Bharathi Theertha Mahaswamigal, who is now gloriously adorning the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetam of Sringeri as its 36th Pontiff, we are bringing out once again this valuable book ‘Sparks from A Divine Anvil’ written by Sri Jnanananda Bharathi. The book has always been the favourite of the discerning reading public ever since it was first published about 46 years ago.

Ardent Gurubhaktas Sri R.R. Venkatramani, a grandson of the great Sanatanist Diwan Bahadur Sri T.R.Ramachandra Iyer, and Sri S. Nataraja Iyer, the Managing Director of M/s Sankar Printers Pvt Ltd., who have been inspired with great devotion to Sri Mahaswamigal after reading this book, have on their own, taken up the responsibility to reprint the book, so that it would reach a wider circle of seekers of Truth and Knowledge.

We thank both of them with all our hearts for the valuable service they have done to propagate the dharmic ideals and values preached by Sri Mahaswamigal.
