Embodiment Of Truth - Kanchi Mahaswami  (Paperback, The Hindu Groups)

It is 25 years since Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati, 68th Pontiff of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Pitam, attained Mukti in Kanchipuram. A revered religious head, he showed concern for the welfare of humanity and was a crusader for the downtrodden. The Hindu followed the movements of the Acharya during his marathon Yatras and published reports from his camps regularly. His discourses and the tribute showered on him were published too. The 25th Aradhana of Mahaperiyava, as he was called, seemed to be a good occasion to revisit the Archives and publish a compilation of the newspaper's substantial output on him. The Embodiment of Truth, from The Hindu Group of Publications, is a two-part volume, which traces the Sankaracharya's birth, succession to the Acharya Pitam, his multiple yatras, his philosophy and so on. Volume 1 deals with the early years of his life as Pitadipati.
