SOME OPINIONS ABOUT PROF. DR. SATYA VRAT SHASTRI

   "Dr. Satya Vrat Shastri is one of those few scholars of Sanskrit in the country who have made a mark in both the widely different fields  of critical scholarship  and creative composition. His literary  work consists  of some of the most delightful poems, dissertations on some of the toughest problems  of Indology, a humorous skit and a translation from English into Hindi. It is the combination in him of the poet and the critic, the playwright and the translator, the interpreter of the old tradition and the original thinker, that marks him out as one of the most remarkable personalities in the contemporary Sanskrit field." --- Indian Literature, Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi, Vol. XII, No. 3, 1969.

 ---While at college  one of  Dr. Satya Vrat Shastri's teachers,Prof. K.L.Gautam, said the above of  Dr.Satya Vrat Shastri:"He has been his teachers' pride. The paper  qualifications and the degrees of the University he has attained is but a small  measure of his true worth. He is a stabilized mind, conscious of the great  heights a man is heir to in real life"

 ---While at the University, another of his teachers, Dr.Suryakanta observed :"Satya Vrat Shastri's range of thought is wide and his discernment for what is right and wrong  instinctive. His knowledge  of Sanskrit is deep".

--- Dr.Siddheshwar  Varma, the eminent linguist, once said of him:"Dr.Satya Vrat Shastri has acquired the potentialities for advancing the most profound aspects of  Sanskrit.  He has unusual abilities."

--- Dr.Suniti Kumar Chatterji, another linguist and Indologist  (in theForeword to Dr.Satya  Vrat  Shastri's  The Ramayana - A Linguistic Study")  observed of Dr.Satya Vrat Shastri : `Dr.Satya Vrat Shastri is one of our younger scholars who has already distinguished himself by his researches in different branches of ancient Indian lore.  I have been very favourably impressed by his versatility as well as depth.  He is a finished scholar of Sanskrit verse."

--- Reviewing  Dr.Satya Vrat Shastri's poetry Dr.K.Krishnamoorthy,the eminentcritic, remarked: "Dr.Satya Vrat Shastri's limpid  flow of the verse is unparalleled today. It is a case of inborn genius coupled with complete learning - Pratibha  competing with Vyutpatti."

   "In making any  assessment of Dr.Satya Vrat's achievement as a modern poet,one feels the difficulty of avoiding superlatives. It goes without saying that he has the gift of a great poet, and has qualified himself as a poet of  universal nature. Who knows that one day in future both eastern and western critics my rank him as one of the greatest poets of the World? --- Journal of the Asiatic Society,  Calcutta, Volume XXXV,  No.3, 1993

  "When trying to describe the seemingly limitless academic qualities and contributions to Sanskrit literature of Prof. Dr. Satya Vrat Shastri,  suffice it to say that he is the most highly decorated Sanskrit scholar alive today." ---R. S. Brown, GIA, PG.  Dec. 2000
