During this month of devotion and surrender to Lord Vitthala, we are
proud to be bringing out Katha Panduranga by Bharat Bhushan. For over
five centuries, the "Vithoba" of "Pandharpur" has remained the object of
devotion of the people of central India in general and of the Deccan in
particular. Vithoba has remained one of the central elements of the
culture of Maharashtra. The love and the devotion of people towards this
beloved deity is experienced in its utmost divine purity during the
annual "Vari", a walk of over a million people from Alandi-Dehu to
Pandharpur. "Katha Panduranga" is a collection of stories describing
some very special pilgrims, this book brings the Vari into your home and
heart with its simplicity. The narrative is spiritually satisfying, and
stays true to the landscape and legacy of the yatra.
