The book that follows is a wholesome source of the rituals
that are performed among the Aaryas. The custom of rituals is
not based on mere whims and fancies but has a scientific
approach. These practices seem vital to the development and
progress of individuals and consequently a nation. The editor
Aachaarya Shree Gyaaneshwaraaryaji has compiled the book
meticulously and concisely. His vast knowledge and reference to
authentic sources like Charak and Sushrut - the ancient books
of medicine - leaves no point smudgy. The book is intended to
effectively reach out to the scores of people who are unaware of
these rituals and their purpose. I thank Aachaaryaji for lending
me an opportunity to contribute in the unending effort of the
spread of knowledge.
