Prof.


Prof. Sri. Mani Dravid Sastrigal was conferred with title MahAmahOpAdhyAya by SLBSS Vidyapeetham, New Delhi. Sri Mani Dravid Sastrigal is just 50. He is a Veda /Mimamsa Professor in Madras Sanskrit College. He is also the visiting faculty of Mimamsa /Veda Bhashya in Sampoornananda Samskrit Vishvavidyalaya, Varanasi, Ujjain Vedic University. He also teaches in the traditional way in Rajamandri Veda Gurukulam, Tenali Veda-Shastra Patashala, etc. He is in the panel of Judges in the prestigious "Vaakyaartha sabha" /"Vidvat sabhaa" conducted by Srigeri Mutt and Kanchi Mutt.

Some of his students are well known to me such as - Sri. Sriramana, Sri. Sriram (Veda bhavan, Hyderabad). I have consulted Sri. Mani Dravid sastrigal on few occasions for some clarification on "Vedaartha"

One of his Sr. student Sri. Devadutta Patil, (he has written a very unique Bhashya for Tarka Sangraha called "Vidyaadhari")  48, of Goa was also conferred with same title on same occasion.

These two scholars in addition to Prof. K.Ramasubramanian of IIT Mumbai have together produced over 100 scholars of high quality.

We in this forum salute such great Vedic scholars

"I am still speechless on my childs answer and have started searching for God in Humans instead of statues. -- A good story which I read today. Not sure whether this has been penned by an agnostic or atheist. But forms a good question for discussion. What do you all think about this?
