Guest guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Voruganti Krishnaya , popularly known as Krishna Bhikshu , is the biographer of Sri Bhagavan in Telugu (Sri Ramana Leela) . --------------- Krishna Bhikshu was a man of insatiable curiosity, keen intellect,enthusiasm and energy. He was a precocious youth whose early studiescreated a distaste for religious literature. This lasted until he cameunder the powerful influence of Ganapati Muni, who brought him to theMaharshi in 1929. He was enchanted by the holy presence of the sage, butstill wandered about for some years exploring the different spiritualtraditions and teachers of the time. As the result of his wide study andlong practice, Krishna Bhikshu became convinced of the truths taught andlived by Sri Ramana Maharshi and surrendered to him whole-heartedly.He authored several important works in Telugu, one being Sri Ramana Leela,the most comprehensive biography of the Maharshi. Amidst the chanting ofArunachala Siva, Krishna Bhikshu breathed his last on December 30, 1981.
