D V Gundappa’s (DVG) DEVARU is one of the short essay books which covers various rational questions raised around the topic of Religion and God. This small book holds mammoth amount of information and references and is very insightful for everybody no matter whether the reader is a beginner or expert in the field.
There are many valuable lectures and various scholarly people have discussed this work at large for the benefit of the masses, but most of them are to be found in the original language, Kannada in which the book was written. For the benefit of larger audience and to arose curiosity in the other giant literary works of DVG, though being an amateur in the field of translation, with great reverence and salutations to the master himself, I have made this humble attempt in bringing this book into English.
If the content presented is good and has generated interest to know more, then the complete credits should go to DVG, the man himself and if you find some sentences to be vague or incomplete, then it may be entirely my fault in translation or interpretation and I sincerely apologise for the same, though utmost care is taken to minimize any errors as such.
To be very clear, this book is not the official translation work and it is being presented for educative purposes only, the main intention is to generate interest towards DVG and his works among the English knowing population.
This translation is done for non-commercial purposes only and this book or translation would be made available for free.
