    I also have heard it from couple of seniors who have read it.

    This book titled “Wonder of the World” by Mr.Roy Abraham Verghese, studies the works of four teachers from around the world. The person choosen from India is our revered Acharya Madhwa.

    The link gives an excerpt. I was thrilled.

    Regards
