[Advaita-l] Inquiry Regarding Sringeri Matha’s Own Scholars and Vakyartha Sabha

[Swagata Chowdhury]

My Guruji is Vedantashastrasiromani Ramkishor Tripathi, who holds
distinguished titles such as Vedanta Martyanda, Kashi Vidvat Bhusan, Kashi
Vidvat Gaurav, Shankar-Vishesh-Visishtva Puraskar, Vidyavacaspati, and
Vidvat Bhusan. He is a renowned scholar of Varanasi and has served as the
Head of the Department of Vedanta at Sampurnanand Sanskrit University.
While I am studying the Shastras under his blessing, my approach is very
simple and not as rigorous as that of others. Further details about him can
be found on the faculty page of Sampurnanand Sanskrit University.
