Sir,

It would be better to display the Title page as you did in the case of  your earlier publication,viz.the Parasharatantra. The Jain University, Bangalore, did a wonderful job at that time.Hope,the same pattern is followed this time also.
Congrats and best wishes.

Prof. Siddharth Y Wakankar.

Namaste Prof. RN. Iyengar,

Thanks for the message. However, I am unable to see the image that you are trying to share here. (It appears as a blank square with a tiny icon on the top left)

thanks,
Anand

Dr.Wakankar, I do not yet have the finalized cover page. I will certainly post the same once it is ready. What I have received so far is the publicity material. Perhaps the image was too large and hence it did not get displayed properly. I have condensed the size and hope this time it will appear correctly on your screen. I will share further details about date of book release, price, ISBN no etc as and when they become available.

Dear Dr.Wakankar,
Thanks for your kind words. In my eagerness to share the information with you and others I posted the draft sent to me by the press. You might have noticed  an unnecessary s' in the English title. I am getting it corrected. I don't know how over Sanskritization (if it can be called so) happens at the hands of the designers!  The figure you see on the cover page is a representation of नाटकशाला  of Lesson 65.

Regards
RNI

Can you share specific location and nearby landmark, Google maps location if possible.
There seem to be two locations for Jain University Jayanagar.


I don't want to miss it due to confusion.


Thanks,

Here is a recent online review by a person not known to me. He has purchased the book to read it. It is satisfying to note that the efforts of अयं  जनः are liked.
