The
Kuppuswami Sastri Research Institute was established as a tribute to one of the
greatest Sanskritists that our country has produced Mahāmahopadhyaya,
Vidyā Vācaspati,
Daršana Kalanidhi, Kulapati Prof. S. Kuppuswami Sastri (1891-1944); he was also
conferred with the most coveted 'LE.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 Śāstras. 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 by
associating themselves with the KSRI. Dr. V. Raghavan, followed by Dr. S.S. Janaki,
with their depth of knowledge and intellectual prowess led this Institute with
great dedication and were ably supported by many statesmen, scholars, lovers of
Sanskrit and philanthropists. Even after their demise, the Institute has been
marching ahead in the same path and has completed 75 years of glorious service
to the cause of Sanskritic and Indological research. The KSRI has been holding
periodical seminars /conferences and lectures in which eminent scholars from
different parts of India and abroad have actively participated. It is
associated with University of Madras for M.Phil and Ph.D in Sanskrit from 1983
and has produced about hundred scholars who submitted their dissertation and
were awarded their degrees by the University of Madras. The institute has also
been publishing the Journal of Oriental Research, Madras an internationally
reputed journal which was originally started by the great Professor Mm.
Kuppuswami Sastri in 1927.
