The Original Malayalam Text Manavarasi Innale, Innu, Nale From Which This Translation Has Been Made Was First Published In 1981. This Is A Futuristic Work Enshrining Navajyothi Sree Karunakara Guru’s Experiential Vision Of Life Which, We Believe Will Impact India And The World For Shaping A New World Order Marked By Peace And Social Justice. The Book Has Had Several Subsequent Impressions And It Was Translated Into English As A Dialogue On The Human Prospect (its Form Is That Of Discourse Between Guru And Disciple) And Published Ten Years Later In 1991. It Was Reprinted Twice And This Is The Second (revised) Edition. There Are Certain Additions In This Like The Prefatory Notes By Guru And Footnotes By The Disciples Who Were Involved In The Preparation Of The Script. These Were Included In The Later Edition’s Original Malayalam Text After The Translation Was First Published. A Glossary Has Been Prepared For The Sake Of The Uninitiated But Serious Reader. The Words Were Selected By Guru’s Mexican Disciple Mr. Carlos Guzman Specially From The Point Of View Of The European Readers Who May Not Be Familiar With Indian, And Malayali, Terms. It Was With Guru’s Permission That I Attempted This Translation. Guru Had Given Me A Lot Of Time Clarifying My Doubts. I Acknowledge My Indebtedness To Guru For Being Patient With My Barrage Of Queries I Had Left Out, With Guru’s Permission, Some Local References At That Time. When I Started Revising The Text For This Edition I Felt That The Portions Thus Left Out Could Be Included. I Have Included Them. In Deep Gratitude To Everyone Who Helped Me In This Project, I Remain A Humble Servant At The Lotus Feet Of Navajyothi Sree Karunakara Guru.

The Original Malayalam text Manavarasi Innale, Innu, Nale from which this translation has been made was first published in 1981. This is a futuristic work enshrining Navajyothi Sree Karunakara Guru’s experiential vision of life which, we believe will impact India and the world for shaping a new world order marked by peace and social justice. The book has had several subsequent impressions and it was translated into English as A Dialogue on the Human Prospect (its form is that of discourse between Guru and Disciple) and published ten years later in 1991. It was reprinted twice and this is the second (revised) edition. There are certain additions in this like the prefatory notes by Guru and footnotes by the disciples who were involved in the preparation of the script. These were included in the later edition’s original Malayalam text after the translation was first published. A glossary has been prepared for the sake of the uninitiated but serious reader. The words were selected by Guru’s Mexican disciple Mr. Carlos Guzman specially from the point of view of the European readers who may not be familiar with Indian, and Malayali, terms. It was with Guru’s permission that I attempted this translation. Guru had given me a lot of time clarifying my doubts. I acknowledge my indebtedness to Guru for being patient with my barrage of queries I had left out, with Guru’s permission, some local references at that time. When I started revising the text for this edition I felt that the portions thus left out could be included. I have included them. In deep gratitude to everyone who helped me in this project, I remain a humble servant at the Lotus feet of Navajyothi Sree Karunakara Guru.
