Preface
Lekha-mālā (literally, a garland, necklace, or rosary of writings)
complements Patropadeśa, a recently published anthology
of my correspondence. It consists of selected compositions
and texts of mine from 1989 to 2015, now collected in this
volume for the benefit of those who may wish to avail of the
miscellaneous instructions and insights proffered therein.
As in Patropadeśa, these writings herein appear largely as
they were first published. Variant spelling styles have not
been standardized, but spelling errors have been corrected,
abbreviations expanded, and footnotes provided to clarify
certain points.
The email conferences of which postings are featured are all
within the PAMHO system, which caters mainly to members of
ISKCON. BVKS sanga is a conference on PAMHO to which (since
1998 or earlier) I have almost daily sent quotations from Srila
Prabhupada, and which also features philosophical queries
and replies.
Sometimes, in replies that I sent to email conferences, the
text (or a portion thereof) to which I was replying is placed
contiguously with my answer; such quoted text is featured in
gray type.
