It means inner satisfaction that I have done a good work!

My inherent interest in writing and my inclination for this topic.

5. How much research went into the book and how did you do that research?

The book is mainly a product of my retirement; it just came naturally, as in my "second innings of life" I met many spiritual leaders of the community and learned persons who had great knowledge of the subject. I also read many books on the subject.

Mostly from my reading and research on the topic

Interesting to know more about Hinduism by Dr. Hiro Badlani. Appreciate his passion at such age. I built up my interest, as I am a bit aware of some of the divine personalities around me in India. Many disciples have acquired spiritual knowledge through
sadhanas
and studies.
