PUBLICATIONS OF SRI VUPPULURI GANAPATHI SASTRY GARU
VEDA SARA RATNAVALI
Sri Ganapatni Sastry was commissioned by the Endowments Department of the Government of Andhra Pradesh (in 1971) to write a book on Veda. The Hon. Minister Sri Rudramraju Ramalingaraju was keen on the Project, [Vide letter of the Commissioner, Endowments Department- letter D.Dis No. A4/566/71, dated 07-04.1971].
The reasons for writing the book was given as follows: "As Vedas and Puranas are found only in the Sanskrit Language, it is found impossible for the common man to read and understand them and need has arisen to translate them into easy language to be understood by one and all". Consequently, he was asked "to writes book on Vedic Dharma concerning all aspects of human beings so that it may be useful to the present as well as future generations." He was required to write the same within one year. It was published by Sri Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy Devasthanam, Annavaram in 1974.
