Justin Davis, page 48
With much gratitude, I acknowledge the invaluable assistance of my late parents, H.E. and Ann Resnick, and of my brothers Allen and Robert Resnick, whose loving help enabled me to devote my time to this project.
The seed of this book was planted in my mind decades ago, and in that initial, exploratory phase, Kṛṣṇa-priya (Hollie Kennedy), Devāmṛta (Devi Thompson), and Brahma-tīrtha (Bob Cohen) rendered valuable help, for which I am grateful. Brahma-tīrtha continues to help in many important ways.
More recently, I am grateful to Pāñcālī (Sol María Videla), working from Santiago Chile. She has devotedly managed the publication of this and my other books, in several languages. I also wish to thank Taruṇi (Tal Patalon), Naṭeśa (Natacha Bourgel), Śyāmala Kiśorī Engelhart, Māyāpriya (Mayapriya Long), Devala Ṛṣi (Donald Neumiller), Dāneśa (Daniel Laflor), Ānanda-līlā (Amanda Possato), Preṣṭha (Fred Grave), Nīlācala Zabala, Adwaita Candra (Euclides Vergilato), all the members of our Global Publications team, and my gifted editor, Elizabeth Ridley.
My thanks and apologies to all those who helped and do not find your names here.
