“The articles you have brought out in Apr.-June 99 issue are scholastic and enjoyable”
- K. Lakshminarayana, Pathapatnam
“The latest issue of Triveni (68/2)is a compendium of scholarly writings awakening the consciousness of its readers to a new awareness. This journal is touching new heights under your discerning editorship.”
-Dr D. C. Chembial, Maranda

“The article, “An Arrival auspicious” published in your esteemed quarterly, is fine, exquisite, and without a peer, dealing as it does, with the birth of Tathagata, the Buddha, the Supremely Enlightened, the Master Incomparable, the teacher of Gods and man, and the Saviour par excellence. Such priceless contributions enhance the prestige of your illustrious periodical in an abounding measure.”
- R. Narayanaswami, Tirupati

“I have just gone through the Editorial on Gandhi’s sense of Humour. You have brought to light the unknown side of the Mahatma in a superb style. I am taking my flight to Washington on 29.6.99. I am taking “Triveni” with me and I will show your article to the NRI’s there, if possible taking copies and distributing them, with an appeal to help the journal.”
-Dr. R. Janardana Rao, Machilipatnam

“I read your editorial. I felt greatly delighted while reading through it. I could not but laugh within my self at the humourous words of Gandhiji (quoted by you). He is a karma yogi. Where serenity dwells joy is always present and from the joyful heart comes forth humour. Very nice are all the articles full of rich information and beauty.”
- B. Indirakumari, Anantapur

“The April-June part of TRIVENI is received quite early. Almost all articles are informative and interesting. As regards the article of Mr. K. Srinivasa Sastry, on Srinivasa Iyengar, his reference to Emerson as one who defined a ‘gentleman’ is doubtful. As far as I know, Cardinal Newman’s definition of a gentleman in his book. “The ideal of a University” is famous. Srinivasa Iyengar comes within the definition of ‘gentleman’.
-Dr C. Jacob, Narsapur

“I congratulate you on the way you are bringing out the paper giving a standard fare of a high calibre to readers. Your article on “The foundation of the Khalsa” by Prof. Hazara Singh is very illuminating. It gives the reader a correct appreciation of what Sikhism stands for and describes the contribution of Guru Gobind Singh to promote inter-communal and national unity.”
-Dr G. Lakshmipathi, Hyderabad

“Of the forty one (not thirty five) books he (Prof. Srinivasa Iyengar) wrote and the eleven books he edited, over a dozen books deal with religion and spirituality or religious and spiritual personalities; four books concern Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, not to speak the numerous articles about them. He has rendered Sundarakanda, Shankaracharya’s Atma Bodha, the vachanas of Basava. He paid homage to Guru Nanak as well as Swami Viveknananda. Hopkins and Tagore are also writers treading the via mystica. His poetical works include “Tryst with the Divine”... Even his works on literary criticism draw heavily upon the insights of Sri Aurobindo and the greatest tribute paid to Dr. KRS was by an adverse critic of a book of his in the Madras Mail in 1953: “All roads to Dr. KRS lead to the Rome of Sri Aurobindo”.
