P.S.: For your kind attention, I am pasting the foreword that was for my first published book, which is still waiting the proper platform, the publisher/distributor for marketing, and the foreword is:
The comment from MR. I. B. Muirden, Retired Principal of Muirden College, Adelaide, South Australia:
FOREWORD
Harmander Singh arrived to study in Adelaide, South Australia in1989 with a very small package of cloths, which was different from the voluminous luggage brought by other Asian students coming for study.
This difference was significant. It demonstrated that Harmander’s main interest was the intellectual and spiritual, not study for ultimate economic gain.
His book amply illustrates the great importance self-study has for the improvement of the intellect and the spiritual process. His book provides a great many suggestions and aids to show how one may improve your self-study and learning skills.
The book demands and deserves thoughtful and serious attention. I would commend it to all students everywhere.
