Dear Friends,

 

     The book Mādhava-Mahimā, is going into printing, and the editor Shri Vats Deshraj Sharma has kindly shared with me a complete pdf. From the pdf I see that it is a 411p book, and the table of contents looks like this:

<image.png>

The 4th chapter consists of an almost complete collection of my Sanskrit poetry, except my current series of Kr̥ṣṇa verses [now close to 2500] which will be published separately. Chapters 2-3 contain what some of my students and colleagues have written about me and some more detailed accounts of my life and contributions. Except for a few materials in Hindi and English, most of the volume is in Sanskrit. This was an initiative undertaken by the Late Professor Ramakant Shukla, the president of the Devavani Parishad, Delhi. He passed away in 2022, however, the project was continued by the Devavani Parishad and the editor Shri Vats Deshraj Sharma.
