    It is sad to observe that no one has carried forward the great legacy. The books published by the Vaidika Sahitya Prakashan Samithi were all great work. I sincerely express my gratitude to the great soul for his time and effort.

    He was a great soul. He dedicated his later part of his life for promoting Vedas and its literature. He was constantly on the move to spread the Vedic Knowledge and principles of Arya Samaj. Has influenced thousands of people in Karnataka to start reading Vedic philosophy and related topics through his "VEDA PRAKASHA" a monthly Kannada magazine.
    A great family friend of ours.
