The color art for each chapter, as well as the paintings of Iraivan Temple and the San Marga Sanctuary on page xli and Gurudeva with his monastic order on page xlvii, were produced by I. Wayan Marya of Ubud, Bali. The cover art is a watercolor by Tiru S.

The Deity paintings on the title page and after the introduction are also the work of S. Rajam. The paintings on pages xxxi and xxxix depicting Gurudeva’s visions of Muruga and Śiva and all the numerous computer graphic patterns were done by a gifted soul among our sannyāsin order. Gurudeva enjoyed drawing numerous Aums for the patterns you see at the end of certain chapters.
