Mr. Challapalli Venkata Ratna Prasad
Born in the small village of Kondiparru in Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Ratna Prasad worked in the RMD Department at Andhra Bank and retired as Senior Manager in the year 2010. Post retirement, he started this initiative to compile and publish books related to Kanchi Paramacharya and his preaching's, as a humble service towards spreading Acharya’s Vani.
Mr,
Ratna Prasad and his family members have been devoted to the Kanchi Kamakoti
Pitham and are ardent disciples of the Paramacharya, and Guru Parampara..
His father–in-law Late SrI Yeleswarapu Siva Nanchareswara Sarma had undertaken pilgrimage to Kanchi to meet and get enlightenment, regarding a family tradition and marriage of his daughter at a premature age. HH Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swami not only clarified his hesitation, but also showered His benign blessings by summoning the local pundits, fixing the Muhurtam, and presenting mangala sootrams and clothes for marriage ceremony.
What started on a small scale with the reprinting of a book that was originally published in the year 1969, has grown in to a full-time passion, which resulted in production of seven books, propagating the message about HH Kanchi Paramacharya and his preaching.
The
main aim of these books is to ensure that the future generations get
enlightened by knowing more about HH Sri Chandrasekhara Saraswati Mahaswami and his teaching and preaching.
Several family members and friends helped in this endeavor by attending to the various requirements of the book publishing and distribution.
