While doing service to the Vedamatha through Sri Dattatreya Veda Vidya Gurukulam, “Ghanapathi garu” as he is fondly called by the people of Rajahmundry. He has travelled across the country and has produced more than 50 students who are now placed in various parts of the Bharatadesha and are also producing shishyas day in and day out. Yeomen services have been rendered by Ghanapathi garu as an examiner for many Vedic examination centers and as a consultant advisor for numerous spiritual activities.
His services not only extended to the vedic teaching but also many overseas assignments were bestowed upon him as opportunities which were not acceptable for the vision and mission of the work undertaken for the vedic living.
His committed, dedicated, disciplined vedic way of life style has been greatly admired and adored by pontiffs of these and those days is setting great bench-mark to the vedic society.
