From the Jacket:
Srimad Bhagwat is a comprehensive purana projecting the advent of Vishnu in various incarnations. In this book, author has tried to trace the protocol in the life of people i.e. - political, social and spiritual in Pauranic era and comparing it with the modern concept of protocol.
The spiritual protocol indicating protocol within Gods, seniority in Gods, God-Jiva relation, is found in abundance. We also find mention of laws of war, laws of peace, international relations, international agreements, relation between the king and his subjects, the duties of the king and the subjects; social protocol about varan ashram institution, multi marriages by kings and not others, equality amongst people of all varnas in performing bhakti, attending social and royal functions, order of precedence in making seating arrangements in all functions as per capability and not as per varnas, division and supremacy of labour, allotment of priorities for jobs; administrative protocol about relation of king with his ministers, advisers etc.
For the sake of maintaining flow and continuity, related aspects of the protocol have also been included in the text. This makes the book a précised form of Srimad Bhagwat itself and it is considered that it will be of interest to scholars and general readers.
Born in 1933, the writer had his schooling in Sonepat (Haryana) and graduation and post graduation from Delhi. He joined Ministry of Railways in 1961 through IAS & Allied Services Examination and retired in 1988 as a Joint Secretary. By virtue of his interest in Sri Ramcharitmanas and literature, he got the inspiration of writing something on Manas. He was struck with the idea of bringing out the extent of existence of modern
