Gopinath Kaviraj
He was an institution.
Gopinath Kaviraj,* born on 7 September , was a Sanskrit-Tantra scholar, Indologist and philosopher.
There was not a single branch of Indian philosophy which he had not fully mastered. He was equally at home in Vedanta, Nyaya, Vaisesika, Sankhya-yoga, Buddhism, Jainism, Saivagama, Vaishnavagama etc. and the Tantras. He had also a thorough knowledge of Sufism and Christian mysticism.
Gopinath Kaviraj, in his later years, became an ardent devotee of Sri Anandmayi Ma whom he considered goddess incarnate!
Mahamahopadhyaya Gopinath Kaviraj, who was destined to be the leading figure in the field of Indological studies and the spiritual quest of man, brought glory to Varanasi, the age old seat of traditional Sanskrit learning.
He came to this city as a student to Dr. Arthur Venis, the illustrious Principal of the Govt. Sanskrit College, in 1910 at the age of 23 years. Since then till his death on 12th June, 1976, he maintained and upheld the noblest tradition of Sanskrit scholarship marked by selfless dissemination of knowledge.
