On the eve of our Golden Jubilee Year, we seek our Paramaguru Swami Tapovan Maharaj’s blessings by dedicating the entire issue to him. When we began compiling the issue, we decided to focus on some of his little known writings and hitherto unpublished manuscripts. My worries about the paucity of new material were set to rest as letters and articles started flowing in from unexpected quarters. I came upon a hitherto unknown article by Swami Tapovanji on Swami Sivananda Maharaj. Brni. Prarthana Chaitanya (Swamini Kaivalayananda), who was collecting Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda’s letters and other documents under instructions from Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda, found a treasure trove in Kerala – letters by Swami Tapovan Maharaj, a shraddhanjali souvenir and some other documents. Both of us were excited and worked hard, racing against time to share as much of it as possible with our readers, as the magazine deadlines were looming large. We realised that Sri Tapovanji Maharaj was showering his blessings upon us. Our hearts are full as this magazine goes to the press and I am sure all our readers will experience the same as they traverse through the pages of precious manuscripts, articles and letters.
