“Regarding review of IN SEARCH OF Hinduism(Vol.72/3)this is of course, an unending search for it is so vast, denies nothing, absorbs everything. One hopes that sanity will return to these quarters which castigate a culture that has raised this nation to great heights. Though the book has been fortunate so far, TRIVENI’s stamp is of particular significance. The issue has also brought the sad news of Sri Avula Sambasiva Rao’s passing. He was a fine person and a good friend. We were both members of the Academic Council of the Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies at Sarnath at the same time and it was a pleasure to listen to his clear view of men and matters never marred by passion. Father used to speak very highly of him.
-Dr. Prema Nandkumar (Srirangam)

“Some old copies showing the greatness of TRIVENI are required. Your ‘Happiness’ article is thrilling and quite marvellous and a guide to the suffering humanity. I tried with some people and asked them to read this to get happiness”.
-K. G. Ramachandra Murty,   Hyderabad

TRIVENI (Apr-June 2003) was another thriller. It lives upto its reputation. Truly it is a rare journal for its consistence of quality in influencing positively what is best for mankind. The spread of electronic and print media consisting of newspapers, Radio and TV no doubt provide us information of what is happening around the world almost LIVE. What then is news - only something sensational, horror, crime, scams etc.,? How about something nobler, exemplary etc.,? Good deeds, examples do not find headlines - perhaps all good things are taken for granted. Unwittingly, by constant reading of newspapers, we are polluting our minds - the young learn the undesirable facts of life. There are many articles in this issue which are worth reading. They are thought provoking and elevating. Under the heaven, one family, our caste is human kind should be a thought for ever.
- R. Krishna Murthy

It (Vol 72/2) contains some very good poems as well as thought provoking articles. I particularly liked the editorial, ‘Is not happiness within us?’ ‘Are we religious?’ by Dr G. Lakshmipathy and ‘What is meditation’ by M. Bhimsen Rao.”
-K. M. Kale, Gondia (Maharashtra)

“It is a great honour for anyone if his articles are published in TRIVENI. It saddened W.B. Yeats when he said, Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam.” It saddens us to see how many a literary journal as eminent and admirable as Troy has passed away in the uncongenial course of time. Tastes differ now, dictated by a lust for time killing entertainments. A million thanks are due to you from the readers for your efforts amidst your difficulties for keeping TRIVENI alive.”
- K. V. Ramana Rao

“Sri Satyanararana Rao’s article on Scientist Painters is informative and interesting. Translation is very good.”
- N. Upadhyaya, Lucknow

“My million megawatt congratulations for your non-stop jihad against all those M/s. Dracula & Co of deluxe darkness”
-  Krushna Prasad Sahoo. Baripada

“The Platinum Jubilee issue of TRIVENI rolled my age, by nearly six decades. I was one of the very much blessed students who had the privilege of seeing and intently listening o the great luminaries of Machilipatnam mentioned in the journal. Thanks to TRIVENI those thrilling memories are refreshed.”
-D. V. R. Bhaskara Sastry, Vanasthalipuram

“You have truly resuscitated the journal from its somnolent condition into a live organisation with an enviable financial stability. You have thus combined your literary ability with a practical vision to ensure the stability of the journal.”
- Prof. D. S. Rao, Chennai

“The criterion is merit, That is the tradition of TRIVENI and I know it for the past forty years. You are doing service to a precision magazine like TRIVENI with a grand tradition that has been kept up for years. You have undertaken the work with immense courage and unshakable faith in God. The pressures of editorial despite you have been publishing TRIVENI in time and each issue is a marvel
-R. Rabindranath Menon, Bangalore

“The July-September number is weighty and witty. Sri V. Narasimha Rao’s essay ‘Privatisation’ is spicy with tongue-in-cheek expressions. Dr Ranga Rao’s ‘Ecstacy and Agony’ is jocose. Dr V.V.B. Rama Rao’s exposition ‘Lal Ded’ is very informative and interesting. The poems like ‘Just a Bard’, ‘Don’t you feel the same’ and almost all other poems are appealing. Your editorial, if prescribed for study in colleges, will enormously benefit the youth. The concluding paragraph is precious with its aphorisms.”
- V. Lalithakumari, Guntur

“I liked the article ‘spicy Bits’ in this issue. I wish there could be more of such light articles...since gravity doesn’t take us anywhere in the present scenario, I think it is time to laugh tragedies away...”
- Abdul Rashid Bijapure, Dhule (Maharashtra)

“The issue (Vol. 72/3) abounds in very good articles as well as poems. The editorial- ‘Spicy Bits of Scientists lives’ makes an interesting reading. It has great educative value. ‘A Poor man’s Doctor’ by J. V. Ratnam is a moving real story.
- K. M. Kale, Gondia (Maharashtra)
