(First Edition, Part II)

We consider it a great privilege and blessing to bring out this Second Part of the collection of the discourses delivered by His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Sankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetha, during his stay in the City of Madras from September 1957 to the end of 1959. It is a matter of supreme satisfaction that the release of this volume coincides with the 75th Birthday of His Holiness on 2nd May 1968.

We wish to place on record our gratitude to the Hon’ble Mr. Justice P.S.Kailasam, Judge, Madras High Court, who has contributed a valuable forward to this volume.

Our thanks are also due to the Management of The Hindu, for permitting us to use, in the preparation of this volume, the discourses that were published in the columns of The Hindu.
