PUBLISHER’S NOTE

The current volume marks the end of stotragranthamDlD of

the Collected Works of Vasishtha Ganapati Muni. The Muni was,
indeed, one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century. His
contribution to the stotra literature in Sanskrit is beyond com-
parison.
In this volume the stotras dedicated to different gods are com-
piled together. The major works here are QrnramaKacatvDriWQat
and indrasahasranDma. Another major section gntamDlD has a
number of stotras dedicated to different God-heads. The Roman
transliteration of the entire text provided as a part of the volume is
a great help for many readers who are not well acquainted with
Devanagari script. To read and recite these beautiful stotras com-
posed by the Muni, is, indeed, a joy, a happy experience.
We are happy to know that the work of editing the Collected
Works of the Muni in twelve volumes has been progressing very
well. So far ten volumes are ready and are going to be published
by Sri Ramanasramam one after another. Hopefully, by another
one year all the volumes will have been published. We ensure Sri
K. Natesan, who has dedicated himself for the compilation and
editing of all the works of the Muni, has Sri Bhagavan’s blessings
in abundant measure and will continue to be the inspiring force
towards the publication of all the volumes.
We are sure that the third volume of The Collected Works of
Ganapati Muni too, like the first and second volumes, will be
equally useful and inspiring for the spiritual aspirants.
