"He weaves a tapestry of ethereal beauty and embraces his audience in the eternal spirit of India… The Audio-Visual presentation on ‘Pilgrimage to Kailas and Manassarovar’ of C.V.Gopinath is somewhat like Panditji’s Discovery of India."

"Shri C.V. Gopinath, with his erudite scholarship and devotion to revive roots of our great cultural heritage is a natural cultural Ambassador of Karnataka."

"As a man, Shri Gopinath is devoid of many weaknesses which beset human mind and with his honest and upright devotion to promote traditional Indian values, I am sure he shall always bring dignity to all those who may come in his contact and as well earn him their respect."

"Although we spent the time inside a dark room, it was possible to feel a strange light beginning to glimmer inside the inner self… our deep gratitude to you for enabling us to undergo such a moving and enlightening experience."

"It is heartening to learn that, after a distinguished career in the civil services, you have devoted yourself to guiding and mentoring civil services aspirants in the areas of ethics and moral leadership."

"In today's information rich society, there are many onslaughts of visual and audio information, but harnessing of different media in a manner to generate a completely new kind of experience in the audience was something which only a maestro like Mr. Gopinath could put together. It is remarkable that the audience which constituted largely of restless teenagers, whose span of attention does not usually exceed a few minutes, was held spell bound for over 2 hours."
