Sri Vasistha Ganapati, whose life is beautifully portrayed here, was a unique personality, an intellectual colossus, a man of light and learning, a poet and an author, on orator and a patriot, a social reformer, a saint and a savant. This beautiful English rendering of T.V. Kapali Sastry's original Sanskrit biography of this seer communicates the inspiration of viewing the life and work of a great soul.
