      This paper is based on the interviews conducted by the author with three well-known great mathematicians who have done prominent work in the field of Ramanujan's mathematics. They are George Andrews, Bruce Berndt and Ken Ono. A vivid account of discovery of Ramanujan's `lost' notebook by George Andrews is given. It also mentions in detail the efforts of George Andrews and Bruce Berndt in editing Ramanujan's notes and recent breakthroughs by Ono and others carrying certain important aspects of Ramanujan's work into the future. The article also describes historical details related to Ramanujan and his mathematics, perspectives on the impact of Ramanujan's work in contemporary mathematics and a number of personal anecdotes from Andrews, Berndt and Ono. The reviewer found the article very interesting and recommends it to all students of mathematics.
