It was a wonderful book, written in a very simple style and touching every aspect of the glorious history, traditions and humanitarian works of Dharmasthala, a unique matha presided by a householder who is held in such a high esteem. The blessings of Manjunatha, the compassionate Shiva has been and shall always be on the unique blessed Matha. I am truly grateful to the author and publishers for this wealth of information contained in a small book. Dharmasthala example should be tried in other Hindu mathas and ashrams also.
