Ph: 24451172 2 Vol. 91, No.1, January 2010 Kanara Saraswat From the President’s Desk ..... Dear Members, Let me wish you a very Happy, Prosperous and Healthy New Year. The year 2009 was quite eventful. All of us enjoyed the different events organized by various Chitrapur Saraswat groups located in different parts of our country and elsewhere, through our great Kanara Saraswat magazine. We hope we will get more opportunities this year. In November 2009, we had the pleasure of releasing a book, “Formula for Fulfilment”, the biography of Shri Nalkur Sripad Rao written by Vidya Gunavanthe. This is the lucid story of a man who rose from rags to riches. What a wonderful felicitation offered to Sripadmaam on the occasion of his 90th birthday! The biography has been written analytically, describing the journey of his life right from childhood to his present age. It reveals the different obstacles faced by him during his lifetime and how he turned tumbling blocks into stepping stones to climb the ladder of success and become an international celebrity, and details the four formulae that he follows to achieve success. Sripadmaam has been a great inspiration to budding entrepreneurs, a role model of magnanimity to many, and an ardent social worker. He always says “moos marnu kaas kelle.” In other words, he sees the extraordinary in the ordinary, in achieving these heights. I strongly feel that “Formula for Fulfilment” deserves a prominent place in your home library. Let us all, Chitrapur Saraswats, get together and march towards a successful outer as well as inner journey of peaceful coexistence.

Moreover if December 16th is Some even go through all the pages with a fine tooth comb Mukkoti Dwadashi, Ekadashi shud be the previous day i.e., attached with a magnifying glass!! December 15th .
