A brief biography


Rambhadracharya, who lost sight in both eyes when he was five, did not let the tragedy come in the way of his quest for knowledge. He has authored more than 240 books and texts, including four epics (two in Sanskrit and two in Hindi) and a Hindi commentary on Ramcharitmanas. He has also written a poetic Sanskrit commentary on Panini’s work on grammar, Ashtadhyayi, and Sanskrit commentaries on Prasthanatrayi, literally meaning three sources. Brahmasutras, Pradhan Upanishad, and Bhagavad Gita collectively form the Prasthanatrayi.


In October last year, PM Modi released ‘Ashtadhyayi Bhashya’, ‘Ramanandacharya Charitam’ and ‘Bhag- wan Shri Krishna ki Rashtraleela’, authored by the Ramanandi sant who was also a star witness for the Hindu side in Ayodhya site title dispute in Allahabad HC.


A polyglot who speaks 22 languages, Rambhadracharya also writes in Awadhi and Maithili.
