PUBLISHERS’ NOTE

        We have very great pleasure in offering to the public this collection of Essays in Indian Philosophy by the late revered Prof. M. Hiriyanna of Mysore. This has been possible through the great kindness and unfailing courtesy of his daughter and near relations who have spared no pains in making available to us all papers and necessary references. Our grateful thanks are due to them in the fullest measure.

         Prof. Hiriyanna contributed a large number of papers relating to Indian Philosophy and Sanskrit Literature to various journals and other publications. The present volume is but a selection from among them, except for the two studies on Mãyã and the essay on Indian Philosophy which are being published now, for the first time. This last essay was contri­buted to the Tamil Encyclopaedia where it will appear rendered into Tamil. The shorter essay on Mayã was written in 1943, for a ‘Sri Sankara Jayanti Memorial Volume’ which unfort­unately was not published. The longer essay seems to have been written much earlier; but no clue as to its date could be traced. The Training of the Vedãntin appeared also as a pamphlet issued by ‘Sri Sankara Jayanti Sabha’ of Bangalore with translations of the quoted Sanskrit passages added to it. Sri D. V. Gundappa who drew our attention to this fact, also kindly lent us his own copy of the pamphlet. The address The Value of Sanskrit Learning and Culture of which extracts alone had been published here appears in its complete form. Certain objections raised against the essay on Six points of View and Prof. Hiriyanna’s rejoinder may be read in the Aryan Path for September 1950.

         We have, in reprinting these essays, made use of the cor­rections and to a certain extent, the marginal notes made by the author in his own copies. Nevertheless we wish to state that we are responsible for any shortcomings in this publication.

         Our thanks are due to Sri N. Sivarama Sastry, Asst. Professor of Sanskrit in the University of Mysore, who has given us much editorial help; to Sri R. K. Narayan, the well-known author, who has taken a kindly interest in the publication of these essays; and to the authorities of the Wesley Press and Publishing House who have executed the work neatly and promptly.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

        The late Prof. Hiriyanna’s daughter desires to express her grateful thanks to the Editors of the various journals and other publications in which these essays made their first appearance.
