Dear Ramakrishnan,

Can you give more details on the book? Publishers and where it is available? I prefer to have a hard copy as it is needed by an elderly gentleman. Is it only in Sanskrit or does it have a translation as well?

Dear sirs

Incidentally, I happened to browse this page;I was reading the book by Late Ra.Ganapathy sir by name Deivathin kural and in that I  came across about this book; Ramakrishna mutt has replied that they do not have this edition. I got the abridged one downloaded from sringeri mutt site. I think Dr.Bhat sir can get the copy from University of Pondicherry.

I  was a student of Philosophy during my college days; after the materialistic pursuit since then, got freed some time ago  to get back to basics [ am 59 years old now] for the rest of life, GOD willing.
regards and pranams
