Book Description

About The Book

This volume is a compilation of the speeches made on various occasions by Shri R. Venkataraman, former President of India, in his post-presidential years. The speeches covered in this volume were made between 1992 and 2007 and deal with a wide range of themes: spirituality, religion, dharma, culture and the arts; religious, spiritual and cultural leaders; personalities in public life in the realms of politics, social service, business, etc; major current concerns in the political, constitutional, public administration and management areas; and others.

In general (with some exceptions), these were not formal lectures delivered to academic or scholarly audiences, but speeches addressed to mixed audiences of scholars, experts and the general public on various occasions. They are not dense; they are characterised by lucidity, easy intelligibility and capacity to hold interest. However, the apparent simplicity is deceptive; it conceals much cerebration and wisdom.

About the Author

Shri Ramaswamy R. Iyer, an erudite writer and an ardent admirer of R. Venkataraman has, with a grave responsibility, compiled the essays and put them together in this book.
