The Kuppuswami Sastri Research Institute was established as
a tribute to one of the greatest Sanskritiars that our country has produced
Mahamahopadhyaya, Vidya Vacaspati, Daršana Kalanidhi, Kulapati Prof. S.
Kuppuswami Sastri (1891-1944), he was also conferred with the most coveted
'LES' 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 Sästras. 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 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.
