Harmelink gathered a crew of students who worked together to stabilize these rare documents, including records of Baptisms and funerals from early Missouri Synod missionaries to India. The rag-tag team removed mold, dust, bugs and debris from the salvageable documents and then stored them in acid-free, archival-quality folders to protect them from further degradation. The Nagercoil seminary then dedicated an environmentally controlled room on campus to serve as the new archive.
During the recovery effort, Harmelink also trained students to photograph the documents so that they could be digitized for an online backup, which made them more accessible for researchers around the world. The procedures used in Nagercoil are nearly identical to those followed at Concordia Historical Institute in St. Louis, Mo.
During the archive cleanup process, the volunteers discovered a baptismal register dating back to these early missionary days. The workers wept as they held in their hands the story of how their great-great-great-grandfathers were brought into the faith through the waters of Baptism. It was the story of how their whole family had been saved.
Lord of the church, Your faithfulness flows from generation to generation. We thank You for the India Evangelical Lutheran Church, for all the saints who have gone before us and for the testimony of their faith. Let us, in our recalling, learn also to persevere in faith and hope, trusting that Your church will endure for all generations. Bless those who preach and teach Your Holy Word, that all might hear and believe and thus be added to Your holy family, even as You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Singing their heart and soul to the divine, dedicating every verse as an offering, visiting the most auspicious of temples, recounting their personal encounters with the Lord, and living a life of faith, surrender and utmost devotion characterizes all the bhakti saints of India. Belonging to diverse communities, regions, historical periods and composing in different languages, styles and contexts, these poet-saints are bound together through time by their steadfast love of God.The widespread devotional tradition of India is referred to as the Bhakti Movement. From around the 6th century onwards, as far as historians can tell, regional bhakti poetry has been flourishing in the Indian subcontinent in various local languages. The early Vaishnava and Saiva bhakti saints composed hymns at a time when Jainism and Buddhism were gaining major popularity. In the early seventh and eighth centuries, the Hindu Pallava and Chola kingdoms of southern India were at the height of their power. This, coupled with the burgeoning popularity of the divine songsters, kept Hinduism strong as it faced threats from other faiths. The bhakti environment created by these poet-saints influenced people from all walks of life, royalty and laymen, who were inspired by the pristine devotion of the saints and subsequently redefined their own lives as service to God.

What is happiness or knowledge if not shared? So I am reproducing the book for you. My comments are in brackets. You are reading this essay due to the superlative efforts of my assistant Ajay who has typed some eighty pages. This essay is dedicated to all Indian saints particularly Veda Vyasa, Sankara, Samartha Ramdas, Namdev, Mirabai, Guru Govind Singh, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Narayan Guru, Sri Aurobindo, Sri Ramana Maharshi and all Bharityas who have sacrificed their lives for the protection of Bharat. Before you go ahead I must say that no civilization, culture can survive if its people adopt the path of non-violence read to mean not retaliating even when you are attacked.
Quoting Swami Sivananda Who is a saint? He who lives in God or the Eternal, who is free from egoism, likes and dislikes, selfishness, vanity, mine-ness, lust, greed and anger, who is endowed with equal vision, balanced mind, mercy, tolerance, righteousness and cosmic love, and who has divine knowledge is a saint.
At the beginning of each chapter I give the list of saints as they appear in the book. In my wisdom I have covered the lives of the more important saints where I have focused more on their early life, evolution, teachings and less on miracles."
Our mythology speaks of many Vyasa; and it is said that there had been twenty-eight Vyasas before the present Vyasa-Krishna Dvaipayana-took his birth at the end of Dvapara Yuga. Krishna Dvaipayana was born of Parasara Rishi through the Matsyakanya-Satyavathi Devi - under some peculiar and wonderful circumstances. Parasara was a great Jnani and one of the supreme authorities on astrology and his book Parasara Hora is still a textbook on astrology. He has also written a Smriti known as Parasara Smriti which is held in such high esteem that it is quoted by our present-day writers on sociology and ethics. Parasara came to know that a child, conceived at a particular Ghatika or moment of time, would be born as the greatest man of the age, nay as an Amsa of Lord Vishnu Himself. On that day, Parasara was travelling in a boat and he spoke to the boatman about the nearing of that auspicious time. The boatman had a daughter who was of age and awaiting marriage. He was impressed with the sanctity and greatness of the Rishi and offered his daughter in marriage to Parasara. Our Vyasa was born of this union and his birth is said to be due to the blessing of Lord Siva Himself who blessed the union of a sage with a Jnani of the highest order. Although of a low caste.
