The
Koppuswami Sastri Research Institute was established as a tribute to one of the
greatest Sanskritists that our country has produced Mahämahopadhyaya, Vidyā
Vācaspati, Darśana
Kalanidhi, Kulapati Prof. S. Kuppuswami Sastri (1891-1944); he was also
conferred with the most coveted 'L.E.S' by the then British Government during
the pre-independence era of this great land. Prof. Kuppuswami Sastri stood as a
colossus of Sanskrit and Sastraic studies when they were neglected in this part
of the country. Single handedly, he brought a revolution in higher learning in
Sanskrit. The Madras Sanskrit College, Chennai established in 1906, of which he
was made the first Principal, stands as a testimony to his greatness even
today. He attracted hundreds of students and scholars from different parts of
India who benefitted from his training both in Traditional and modern methods
of learning and teaching in Sanskrit and different Sastras. The Presidency
College (Madras), Annamalai University (Chidambaram) and Rajah's College,
(Thiruvaiyaru) were some of the prestigious institutions where he nurtured
Sanskrit studies and Comparative Philology. He was widely respected in India
and abroad for his traditional knowledge and modern research acumen. After the
sad demise of the great savant in 1944, great men of wisdom, his students and
admirers joined together to establish a research Institute as a fitting
memorial to him and aptly chose the premises of the Madras Sanskrit College,
Mylapore for carrying out the great work done by Prof Sastri. Thus from 1945
till date the Kuppuswami Sastri Research Institute (KSRI) has been functioning
in this premises, holding one of the best collections of rare and old books on
various branches of Sanskritic and Indological studies. It has carved a niche
for itself in the international arena of Sanskrit and Indology. Hundreds of
scholars from many foreign universities across the globe and different parts of
India have benefitted.
