The watercolor paintings that initiate each chapter are the work of Tiru A. Manivelu, 62. The background patterns adorning the title pages were created by the monastics using Adobe Photoshop. The book’s index was created by Tirumati Chamundi Sabanathan of Santa Rosa, California, using Sonar Bookends.
