Dr. Panduranga Rao, scholar and philosopher, is respected for his unique understanding of deep philosophical truths concerning God and his creation. Brought into close association with Hindu ritualistic traditions and sacred works at a very young age, he combines the inspiration and dedication of a true devotee with the intellectual genius and preseverance of a scholar to explore in his works various aspects of Hindu philosophy and religion, particularly the Ramayana.

A multi-linguist writer, he was around fifty publications to his credit.
