Vasishtha Kavyakantha Sri Ganapati Sastry (1878-1936)

Sri Ganapati Sastry was born in Kalavarayi near Bobbili in Andhra Pradesh on 17 November 1878. His parents were Sri Narasimha Sastry and Srimati Narasamamba. Born as an amsa (portion) of Lord Ganesaha, he was gifted with marvellous powers of mind, intellect and soul. His entire life was a "tapasya", a quest for the Eternal. He was endowed with extra-ordinary capacity to compose Sanskrit verses extempore. He was adorned with the title "Kavyakantha" (Voice-of-poetry) at the early age of 22. His indubitable versatile genius, keenness of perception, powers of intellect and intuition made him the most prolific Sanskrit writer of the 20th century. His Sanskrit compositions cover a wide variety of topics: praises and prayers to various deities (strotras), poetic compositions (kaavyas) philosophy (darshana), logic [nyaayaashaastra), medical science (aayurveda), astrology and astronomy (jyotishshaashastra), commentaries (bhaashshya), novel (aakhyaayikaa), letters (patraani) and other research works. His wide scholarship and studies in religious lore had harmonized in him all religions and schools of philosophy. Indeed his writings will be a guiding spirit and lamp for centuries to come.
