Dr. Jagannath Patnaik

An Apostle of Tolerance and Love

Dr Anton Todorov
President of Royal Academy of United Nations—Bulgaria and Switzerland

Dr Jagannath Patnaik is well known in India and abroad, for his authenticity, simplicity in lifestyle, clarity of thought, passion for truth and truthfulness, brilliant speeches and prolific writing. Above all he is known as an apostle of tolerance and love. God’s goodness and love toward the whole creation, especially mankind, is the dominant theme of his speeches and writings. He is known and applauded beyond the boundaries of caste and creed, language and nationality that he has transcended through his love for humanity. He has lived the life of a vagabond for so many years spreading the good news of God’s love for each and everyone and witnessing to it through his Spartan lifestyle.

I have read the book without stopping late into the night; it has made me pray; it has made me feel vividly the divine power of that love which our Lord came to reveal and make present in our midst.
