Hi! Great Day!

I am quite excited to inform you that now I am in the process of publishing my book:

Abhang Gatha: Divine Verses 

(Tukaram’s Teachings - Book 1)

Here are some details:

Maharashtra is blessed with a great lineage of saints. The most lovingly worshiped deity in Maharashtra is Shri Vitthal, who is the incarnation of Shri Vishnu. The saints of Maharashtra have written lovely poetry on Shri Vitthal (Vithoba, Vithuraya, Pandurang) and spirituality. They have created a beautiful world, with compositions of short verses which are known as abhang. Till now, the abhangs are restricted only to Maharashtra. I would like to show the beauty of this poetry to the whole world. Saint Tukaram was a great poet, who lived in the 17th century. He was an extra ordinariliy person, in fact a holy saint, and is very famous for his epic 'Abhang Gatha' (Gatha means a big collection of poems). His 'Abhang Gatha' written in love for Shri Vithoba has more than 4400 abhangas. I am very passionate to show the beauty of Saint Tukaram's poetry to the world. Hence I have translated 600 abhangas into English and now I am publishing them in the form of a  book. 

 I am publishing 300 abhangs in this first book, in order to control the number of pages.

I have started collecting names of persons who may be interested in buying my book.  

As you may be aware, it is not a field in which you can sell the book very easily. So,  it is impossible to guess how many copies I should print. Hence I am carrying out this survey to know how many friends will buy my book of translations of 300 abhangas.

It will be of about 270 - 300 pages and will have several illustrations. 

The price is expected to be Rs. 400. I will give pre orderv copies at Rs. 360. 

So,  please let me know if you would like to buy my book. If yes, then I'll note your pre order and that will help me in deciding how many copies I should print.

Looking forward to getting a positive response from you.

Regards.

Deepak Phadnis.
