Working together with the author over the last fifteen years, I realised the comprehensiveness and interrelatedness of geography in shaping and creating the sacredscapes and ritualscapes that have now considered as a way for 'new vision' in the era of New Age. The results presented here are based on co-sharing and deeper interaction that were presented in several papers during last two decades, however the essays are updated, revised and expanded with a fresh writ of integrity, harmony, cultural astronomical reflections, and profusely illustrated design and figures to which Rana Singh is a master craftsman. In the UN International Year of Astronomy (2009) this book will serve as sparking star for new thoughts from India . - Prof. John McKim Malville, Emeritus Professor, Astrophysics & Planetary Sciences, University of Colorado, Boulder, U.S.A
