  This book contains quite a good archaeolo–
  gical information and details on Vaidik and 
  Pauranik quotations of Da�a-Avatar. The 
  part 2 of the Book covers all the Avadhoot of

  presented.
  The Omkarananda Ashram Switzerland is 
  thinking to translate this book in German, 
  too. Hopefully, it will work out by next year.
