21 Nov Acknowledgments

Any book comes to fruition with the help of numerous reviewers, editors, publishers as well as the authors, and it is customary to acknowledge them. I’m especially grateful to Swami Sarvapriyananda for the lucid lectures on Vedanta that he has posted on Youtube and to Jayana Clerk for many stimulating conversations as the book took shape. The reviewers were amazing as they helped hone the narrative to its present form. I’m deeply indebted to Gillian Goslinga, Sai Praneeth, Meena Khandelwal, Jayana Clerk, Elemer Magaziner, Keith Akers, Lama Dawa, Sudha Fatima, Jon Thompson, Juan Ahonen-Jover,  Deb Ozarko, Marty Landa, Pash Galbavy, Richard Pauli, Melvin Taylor, Richard Starling, Ezra Silk, Gani Ganapathi, H-S. Udaykumar, Kevin Greathouse, Mike Roddy, Linda Sills, Thomas Kailath, Roxy Chappell, Arun Sharma, Pamela Gale-Malhotra, Sudha Kukillaya, Umesh Rao, Sally Bingham, Rita Bruckstein and Freddy Bruckstein for plodding through the early drafts and sending much needed feedback. Gopi Govada’s editing ironed out the grammatical errors and tensing issues in the draft.

This book contains extensive quotes from public sources as the story of humanity is integrated in the words of so many of us. Though most of these are involuntary contributors to the book, it is my privilege to acknowledge them all in the list below:
