We all might have come across spiritually inclined scientists. But has anyone heard of a 'Spiritual Scientist'? About five years ago, I happened to get acquainted with such a unique Master living in Hyderabad.
During a visit to the Vishwajananee Parishat Ashram, Baptala, Andhra Pradesh, founded by Ma Anasuya Devi (1923-1985), affectionately addressed as Jillellamudi Amma, an article penned under the pseudonym 'Spiritual Scientist,' in the ashram magazine, The Mother of All, made me curious to know more about the author.
The writer, Shri Valluru Sriramachandra Moorty (aka VSR Moorty) was born on February 28, 1950 as the third son of Smt Sarojani Devi and Sri Nagabhushan Rao in Turumella village in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh. He was brought up by his grandparents, Sri Bhujanga Rao, and Smt Durgamma, at Tenali. At the age of 12, he won the State Science Award for the article 'Varahamihira and Brihat Samhita Kavya!' When he was 18, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba fondly blessed him during a visit, with the sobriquet 'Spiritual Scientist.'
