KAVYAKANTHA SRI GANAPATI SASTRI
"We are all educated but Ganapati Muni is education Itself"- Kashi Krishnacharya, Famous Sanskrit Scholar
Vasistha Ganapati Muni (1878-1936), famed as Kavyakantha , and popularly addressed as Nayana, was a mighty spiritual personality in his own right and had a large following of illustrious disciples. It is a standing testimony to his spiritual sincerity, humility, and intellectual honesty that he recognized the uniqueness of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi's teaching , accepted Him as his Guru, and proclaimed him as the Maharshi to the whole world.
This web domain was launched in commemoration of 125th Birth Anniversary of Nayana(Nov 17th, 2003) and 97th Anniversary of his first spiritual, historical meeting with Brahmanaswami (later, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi) at the Holy Arunachala Hillock (Nov 18th, 2003).
