For Hindus,
they may wonder why a Westerner would take interest in these issues. Yet do not Hindus
take interest in the affairs of Western culture? Why should it be surprising if those born
in the West take interest in Hindu culture, which is one of the oldest and richest in the

For this book I would like to thank Dr.B.L.Vashta, who first encouraged me to write along
these lines, and to the many other individuals and groups both in India and the United
States who have encouraged me to continue, particularly the various publications that have
printed my articles, which gave me the confidence to present them to a broader audience. |
