Reader Speak

"In Amar-Chitra Katha fashion, the book tells the story through pictures. The crisp narration traces the journey of Sri Abhinava Vidya Theertha, from his birth to his attaining sanyasa and succeeding as peetatipati. His deep gurubhakti is expressed vividly. The various initiatives that he started for the welfare of the people, the yatra that he undertook three times across the country and how he won people’s affection and faith are dealt with in detail. The book (Rs. 40), is sure to find favour with readers, especially children, who will find the style simple and the pictures attractive."

"This 32 page illustrated format of the life and spiritual journey of the great Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatheertha is an anecdotal as well as a visual treat to readers of all ages. Considering how the book is sprinkled with rich stories from His life and offers a glimpse of the multi-faceted personality through a simple and easy narrative style, this book has become a valuable addition to our home library."

- T. M. Bharathi

- K. Vaidyanathan

"It brought me great joy to see the book."

- S. Eshwar

"I read both the English and the Tamil versions. The books are very well written, produced very well and more importantly cover a lot of topics in depth. The authors have managed to bring the important things to the pictorial version. It is very nice to see that just because it is a pictorial format they did not treat the subject lightly. The transalations in English and Tamil are immaculate and to the point."

- Harihara Vinayakaram

"The book captured the greatness of Jagadguru in an elegant manner. The pictures are very beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book."

- Sri Harsha Kandukuri

"My compliments for covering the inspirational and revered life of His Holiness comprehensively. The illustrations are also really good and do justice to the narration."
