By going through the book Moolika Vignyana and the first issue of Herbal Heritage qtrly magazine a common man can be attracted by the lucid narration of our old great Indian culture. We have to do a lot of rethinking and work on this endeavor. Experts and professionals in `Siddha`are to be encouraged to come out with a good road map on promoting siddha system. We are lucky to have the kind of professional skills and manpower to take Indian system of medicine to Heigts globally. We are equally unlucky that the governement and concerned authorities have failed to tap the sources, select and encourage those who deserve it.   Siddha Vaidya P.S. Narasimha Swamy is working hard in bringing back the age-old tradition of `Siddha`. I strongly recommend herbal heritage and Mollika Vignyana books to be translated to other Indian languages since these books are like storehouse of informations and I wish the author all the success.

Dear Swami,

You really sound like the best possible person to receive some potent herbs from. What a pity, that i did not know you a few months ago. I spent almost a weak in Mysore and then in Nilgiri Hills. I was hoping to meet some interesting and knowledgeable person like you in India but in this trip it was our fate to stay with tourists. I liked your publication efforts, your country. Hope to meet you during my next visit, which is my 6^th visit to India.

Dear Swami,

How did you start studying Siddha Medicine? It seems to me that even in India it is not common for people to study this part of medicine. I see that Indian Government is making an effort to support it. At least it is what theywrite in the Government Website and I am glad about it. I like your books and preserving them with care. My yoga teacher also shows keen interest in your books and efforts

-G.Stefani
