Volume-1: Dedication

This book is dedicated to the Arab men whose prayers to Allah gave us safe passage across the desert into Azerbaijan, and to the Mohammedan caretaker of St. Daniel’s tomb in Samarkand – a gentle soul whose reading of the Koran was full of devotion for the Lord. I am also grateful to the many Mohammedans who treated us with kindness and respect as we traveled through their villages and towns. Finally, I offer my most respectful obeisances to all the Vaisnava devotees who are preaching in the lands of Islam.
