At 89, Gangadhara Sharma continues to spread Vedic vision.

A gentle breeze blows off the waters of the river Godavari. Kapileswarapuram, 16 kilometers southeast of Ravulapalem in East Godavari District, is a village of around eight thousand people, and the work is mainly agricultural. At a short distance from the banks, in Sri Sarvaraya Veda pathasala, he sits cross-legged and teaches students.

Tangirala Bala Gangadhara Sharma, at 89, stocky and slightly stooping, with large intense eyes and voice vibrant, is a sage philosopher on these banks. He has been the principal of the pathasala since 1973. (Sarvaraya Educational trust runs both Harikatha, Nrutya and Veda pathasalas.)

He has crammed so many lives into his life. It takes at least 12 years of continuous study to complete a portion of a single Veda. He is a cheturvedi (an exponent in the four Vedas). Simple in his living and ascetic in outlook, he is one among the few in India to have mastered all the four Vedas and six angas (Siskha, Vyakarana, Chandassu, Nirukta, Jyothisha, Kalpa). Without these six, it’s nearly impossible to get the true understanding of the Vedas. More than one hundred Veda and Sanskrit pandits have been taught and trained by him.

“I studied Rg Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharvana Veda with meaning. Sama Veda is ganam (song). The study goes on still,” he says.

Feted, felicitated and honored by different universities and organisations, and awarded by the former presidents of India, he exudes the same rigor of tradition, the passion for teaching and sacredness of a mind dealing with higher realms.

On the issue of whether there are four or three Vedas, he offers a remarkable synthesis: “If you take Vedas in their entirety, they are mantras (Rks), gadya (Yajas), ganam (Sama); in this sense of lakshanas, they are three; if you take them in their svarupa — that they deal with the primordial elements — they are four.”

On Varna Vyavastha and everybody’s place in it, he says, “ creation is same for everybody. For a society to be stable, it had to be graded on the basis of work. Hence, an entire caste was set apart for the cultivation and transmission of Vedic knowledge. Nevertheless, the entire humanity is a part and parcel of that cosmic being.”
