I want to let you Sanskritists to know about a Sanskrit publisher in Andhra Pradesh. Its called 'Sadhana Grantha Mandali' located in Tenali, Guntur district. A Sanskrit scholar Brahmasri 'Bulusu Surya Prakasa Shastry' has started this Mandali in 1950s, while working as a Sanskrit teacher in the Govt. school in Tenali. But he hails from the costal area of Andhra from where a number of Vedic, Sanskrit scholars were born.
Since its inception, this Mandali is doing yeomen service to the Sanskrit knowing Telugu community by way of publishing all the Shankara Bhagavatpada's works translated in Telugu. They have published almost all of the Stotras of Sri Sankara and many upanishadic works are being translated now. The aim of the Mandali is to publish all of the Sankara's works.
This centenarian, sri Shastriji, tirelessly working for a noble cause for the many decades has carefully replies and acknowledges the queries, requests and himself pack the books to be sent through post. His patience even in his 100s is amazing!! In March 2006 I have visited his house(0ffice) to purchase some books and also found the same enthusiasm and zeal like he might be in his fifties. He has enquired about the benefits of computerizing the Traditional knowledge and information retrieval facilities not so much impressed.
Accompanied by his third son, he has a big list of books to be published seeking contributions/donations from the philonthropists, Sanskrit lovers. His dedication and hard work should be a class to the present Management students. If you become a life member to the Mandali, you are eligible to get all the books so far published and also you can avail a 25% discount on the future publications.
Recently, with the help from the trust's fund, Mandali has been entered in to re-designed house with little more space. All of the contributor's names were written on the front walls of the house. One good thing is that one can become a patron to the Mandali just by paying Rs.116/- also. He can be contacted at-
