Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 The Collected Works of Vasishtha Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni ON Sunday, 22 February, 2004 a formal launching of the first of a 12-volume set of books, containing the Collected Works of Vasishtha Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni was released before the Samadhi Shrine of Sri Bhagavan at Sri Ramanasarmam. The President of Sri Ramanasramam, Sri V. S. Ramanan, presided over the book release and gave the gathered devotees a brief life sketch of Sri K. Natesan, the editor of this colossal undertaking. Sri K. Natesan was introduced to Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni when just a teenager in the 1920s and became his disciple. He once asked the Muni how he could best learn Sanskrit and was told to continue writing and reciting the Muni's written works as much as possible. Encouraged by Bhagavan Sri Ramana, Sri K. Natasen faithfully followed this advice throughout his life. These simple instructions have also inspired him to collect all the inspired compositions of Ganapati Muni, set them in order and now, in final days of a fruitful life, undertake the editing and publishing of the complete works of this great Vedic seer and saint. Dr. S. P. Pani, the son-in-law of Sri K. Natesan, gave an enlightening, soulful talk on the deep significance of the Muni's association with Sri Bhagavan, the greatness of the Muni's literary outpourings and the dedication of Sri K. Natesan, his father-in-law, who at ninety years old is as alert and energetic as ever. Inscribed books were presented to devotees by Sri Natesan, and everyone congratulated him on his astounding achievement. The second volume should be printed in a few months and the other ten, which are nearly ready, will be printed as resources become available. This first 400-page, hardbound volume, containing the famous "Umasahasram," and many other hymns of adoration, printed in Sanskrit, along with the English transliterated text, will be available at Arunachala Ashrama, New York. For inquires, please call (718) 575-3215 or email "ashrama@a...". Hari Om by the Grace of God it begins ever since hearing of the Umasahasram and other works of Ganapati Muni I have been drawn to them they are the corner stone of the new epoch Siva's two son's walked the earth together Lord Skanda came to us in the form of Ramana Maharshi and His Vel "Who Am I" opened the door to the divine Self Lord Ganesha came to us as Vasishtha Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni in these 12 volumes are laid out the Path to the Mother Dr Frawely has proclaimed the coming and now they are placed in the hands of mankind let us chant them the words of our Beloved Lord Ganesha let us burn the dross away a new age has arisen Jai Maa Love baba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
