This compilation had many tributes and blessings showered on the author apart from several of his articles and speeches.

I did not find in this volume any statement that HM suffered in its gamakas due to the introduction of the harmonium. in fact Sri Iyengar comes down heavily on the violin in CM as an accompaniment instrument, he also says that HM sounds much better to CM ears than vice versa due to their better voice culture and Sruti Suddham.
