Mr Prasad,

I woud be interested to know why you have become interested in KLV Shastri. I studied Kâçikâ with him in Madras in the early sixties. He was then retired, having taught Sanskrit at Presidency College, Madras for many years. He is the author of several books on Sanskrit and related topics and was honored with several learned titles. He was a close collaborator of V Raghavan, then Professor of Sanskrit at the University. If you wish to learn more about him I would suggest that you contact one of his sons, notably Dr K V Ramesh, formerly Director of the Archaeological Survey, in Mysore, or K V Padmanabhan, advocate, in Madras. Another of his sons, whose name I have forgotten, taught Chemistry at Duke University for many years. His son-in-law, KS Haridasa Bhat, was head of MGM College in Udipi and founder (with Shivaram Karanth) of the Yakshagâna Kendra in Udipi.

Regards,

Edwin Gerow

Thanks

Hello List,

I’m looking or any biographical information on K.L.V. Sastri, the Sanskrit scholar and occasional author of modern literature. Just dates of birth and death would be very helpful, but any other details (e.g. place of birth) would be of interest. Have poured through as much of his material as I can find in libraries and have yet to find a detailed bio.  Maybe someone out there knew him?

Thanks in advance,

Charles
