The cover of the Souvenir designed by Aarthi (my daughter) is a visual treat. Whenever we think of my father, the first image that comes to our mind is that of his reclining on his favourite canvass chair and reading the Ramayana. This has been vividly brought out by Aarthi in the front cover. The back cover has the 19th sloka from Chapter 7 of Bhagwad Gita (with its meaning in English)

bahunam janmanam ante
jnanavan mam prapadyate
vasudevah sarvam iti
sa mahatma su-durlabhah

After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.
