In his foreword to the book, Professor K. Raghavendra Rao writes:
“… In his poetry and fiction [Mulimani] is wrestling with some of the intractable issues baffling mankind, such as God, death, freedom and truth.
His Operation Epiphany ~ God’s Journey on Earth is a profoundly philosophical novel which explores with rare intellectual courage and visionary imagination the meaning of human life. His fiction is unique in Indian writing in English and it recalls the philosophical fiction of Raja Rao. His use of the English language is highly original and poetic. His writings are demanding but the efforts invested in reading them are worthwhile.”
