_**About the Book**_
 In her author’s note, Sawkar writes, “I _had_ to preserve 
the stories of the sages for posterity. I grew up with them and am still living 
with them. Their life stories made me chuckle, laugh, ponder, grieve and marvel.
I want my readers to experience this whole range of emotions…

The sages were the think tanks of the prevailing society. They were poets, authors,
story-tellers, teachers, principals of schools, priests at kings’ courts and temples,
scientists, judges, expounders of law and religion, ascetics and some even commanders
of armies.

As a class they arose in the dawn of civilization and held sway over current society
roughly till the end of the first millennium.”
