I along with my collegues, all Konkani writers from Goa, Mangalore and Mumbai visited the Sukrtindra Oriental Research Institute today. It was a wonderful and educational tour of the various departments and the spacious library consisting thousands of books on practically every subject. I was thrilled to see some old Konkani palm leaf inscriptions. The Institute is well maintained with loving care.

I have the grand fortune to visit Sri Sukrtindra Oriental Research Institute. I am thrilled to see the treasure. The good work done will be mentioned by the Institute.

R. J. Kamath. Bangalore (Former Chairman & Managing Director, Andhra Bank & Canara Bank)

My visit to Sukrtindra Oriental Research Institute today has been very rewarding. The literary ambience is evident all over the premises. The Library is a treasure of literary works most of which are rare and valuable. I admire the care with which the books and manuscripts are dealt with.I am particularly happy with the discussions I had with Shri Nityanand Bhat who is knowledgeable and well-read. A section to Konkani books makes me feel proud though more need to be done to acquire the vast treasure of Konkani books including the Encyclopaedia, Samagr Shenoy Goembab and other works of research, translations, etc. Great efforts. Keep it up. May Konkani speaking community benefit largely by this endeavour. I am returning greatly satisfied and would like to repeat visiting this Institute.

I am fortunate that I am in this Cultural Centre which throbs with intellectual activities. The Library contains very valuable books throwing light on our ancient culture. That all these books have been donated by lovers of philosophy shows that Sanathana Dharma is the Eternal religion. I am tempted to be a member of this Library by which I hope to enrich my knowledge and thus aid me in the research I am now engaged in. I wish the Institute all success in its endeavour to spread Sanathana Dharma. With Pranams to the Swamiji.
