I read this book on the recommendation of a friend and I was so glad that I made the right decision. It has really helped me understand in detail all about Anna and his vision and mission and also about all the educational institutions that are so very different from commercial ones. I feel so positive and full of hope after reading this book.
This book brings a lot of clarity on the life and mission of Madiyal Narayan Bhat. Being a social worker myself, I can understand the burning desire in his heart for a wonderfully transformed society. Happy to read this book and re-align my thoughts with his, as echoed in his letters which are also a part of this book.
I thoroughly enjoyed the skillful writing and narration on this amazing visionary. It is an eyeopener for all the youth to see how one man’s vision, divine grace, conviction, and hard work can create an altogether new route to a better society through education. A beautiful peep into a beautiful life through this beautifully written book!
A VISIONARY WITH A MISSION- an exquisite coffee table book by Bhuvana Santhanam on Anna- Madiyal Narayana Bhat who is a perennial source of inspiration for latter day Thiagajeevis like young Madhusudan Naidu, carries an introduction by modern day sage, Sri BN Narasimhamurthy and a foreword by none less than our Lord, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, from the subtle. It is a must read for 21st century man, for it shows how God plans to make a true devotee’s selfless desires come true..
Vignettes on Anna’s contemporaries like Ishwara Bhat, Krishna Bhat and Gangadhara Bhat as well as touching contributions by first generation Thiagajeevis like Anna’s sister Devaki Akka, Narayana Rao Anna, Sanjeeva Shetty Anna, Vasanthraj Anna, Ramanand Anna, Rajaram Anna, Shankar Shettigar Anna and second generation Thiagajeevis like Sathyanarayana Sir and Ananthamurthy Sir afford glimpses of the magnetic personality of Anna that even today, draws men and women of heart to the Thiagajeevi path that he established. Why, it drew the Lord Himself back from the heavens to earth, to fulfill Anna’s Mission!
A tale of patriotism, love and sacrifice; of devotion beyond compare, this is a book that all need to read and contemplate upon. For it has the power to change our own lives. For the better.
