Dr. A Kalanidhi, Former Vice Chancellor, Anna University highlighted the content of the book.  In his address, he said that the spiritualism combined with humanism makes difference.  There is no humanism without spirituality.  ‘Samadharma Samathuvam’ should be followed as guided by the Acharyas.  

Shri Sthanumaalayan, RSS Kshetra Pracharak, in his address said, “Today we are in a society fighting with all evils, freeing of temple assets etc.  We could see all the Panchabhootas are polluted.  Sudhdhi or purifying Panchabhootas should be taken in a great way. This shuddhi and marching towards divinity is the real Hindu way of life. In families, the holistic way of education should be imparted.  Ramanujacharya, a great social reformer, is the solution to all social problems today.  We need to practice his philosophy in day-to-day life.  Practical Ramanujar is the need of the society”, he said. 

Sri Krishnamaacharyar, Sri Prasanna Venkataachaarya Chaturvedi Swamigal, Dr. A V Rangacharyaar and others spoke on the occasion.
