The Foreword:

When I set myself for a course so less traveled and territory which remains little known in my part of the world, it is fraught with probable events where I'll have little knowledge, whereas a scholastic appreciation will be the eventual requirement. I'll accept the truth as a student with the perspicacity of a Brahman. And I am, certainly, not ruling out that there will be times, owing to circumstances which may apparently be unknown to me and I may very well make certain ill-conceived decisions/notions at that given juncture, I beseech my consciousness in its right-minded abide to help me speak the truth, verily the truth and the truth alone, however impossible it may seem at that time. It’s significant that I must approach all the right people and the intuition says that all my acquaintances are the best in the life. It is very much a necessity for me that I be of all good, worth my self, to the others who enable me to accomplish my set objectives. May I have all the good fortune of receiving the instruction of all the best of the teachers in the discipline I embrace. The 10th Samhita of the Rig Ved, especially explains instruction to be a blessing;

One not knowing a land asks of one who knows it,
he goes forward instructed by the knowing one.
Such, indeed, is the blessing of instruction,
one finds a path that leads him straight onward.

With these thoughts it feels like a less daunting and an achievable ambition of my life. I thank the people who have provided me with their kind words and in effect honouring my endeavour's spirit. Not the least and infact the first words of thanks, even if only for mounting on this noble quest go to my parents & family and to my forefathers.
