PREFACE
I do not have any inclination or inspiration to make the whole of world religious. Hinduism is a vast tree that nobody can befall the age-old tree. It has survived onslaughts from Buddhism, Jainism, Islam and Christianity. I am not referring to physical conversion of Hindu population. Brahmins in Vedic age stopped animal sacrifice and the founder of Buddhism, Gowtama Buddha is regarded as an incarnation of Mahavishnu! Hindus do not hate Jains who worship the same Gods. They attend Urs of Muslim Saints. They watch the Christian movie Karunaamayi, (story of Jesus Christ) and shed tears. A true Hindu cannot hate any religious faith, for he finds all these within his own religious fold, he has been exposed to the thoughts of other faiths since his birth! Hinduism is not a tender tree that needs anybody's protection. It is for us to derive benefits from the vast tree. Even if I want to add a new thought, it is not possible, as the same has already been explored elsewhere! I do not believe in" spreading the Gospel to one and all".
I know several highly placed officers who make their staff write religious, astrological and management topics for them while they are busy making black money in various ways. There is a saying in Kannada, "ಮಂತ್ರ ಹೇಳಲಿಕ್ಕೆ, ಬದನೇಕಾಯಿ ತಿನ್ನಲಿಕ್ಕೆ!" [Mantras are for telling others and brinjals for my eating]. One need not be religious to talk religion! I am not an IAS or IFS who use their subordinates to release "cut and paste" books instantly. What you see here is, my hard work. Obviously this is what I am doing here! Once I wanted to gift a small book containing certain mantras to my close friend. It would cost perhaps Rs.20 or less. But, I searched for that in all book stalls, temples and such places. Letters to the publisher did not produce any result. Later on, I came to know, he had stopped publication of such books, as the market is not encouraging! Some of my enlightened readers ask me to provide them certain mantras, not readily available in the market. In India, we speak many languages. Many people prefer to read mantras in their respective mother tongues. I believe, I would be of some help in their spiritual progress. Hence, this publication. Books marks are provided for easy navigation. For offline use you can also save the document on your local machine. Unless it is very essential, please do not take paper prints - "वृक्षो रक्षति रक्षित:।" [Trees protect those, who protect them]. Taittariya Samhita in Shikshavalli says, "स्वाध्ययने च न प्रवदितव्यम्। प्रवचने च न प्रवदितव्यम्॥" (Do not give up self-study and teaching others). A Brahmin (learned man) who does not teach others, becomes brahmaraakshasa (a demon) after his death, it is said. No, I do not wish to become a brahmaraakshasa! I am merely giving directions to a traveler like a policeman - nothing more, nothing less. The collection is based on the request of my learned readers.
