Indian History - 2
His famous essay 'athaato ghumakkad jigyasa' is the most famous introduction to him that every Hindi student learns in the school text books. In this, he proves the importance of traveling, and shows that one who does not learn to travel, learns nothing, one who wants to learn, has to wander around, and how travelers are the ones who have not just written history but made it - from Gautama Buddha to Adi Shakar, to Ramanuj, to Nanak, to Columbus to Vasco de G to Mongols - all of them wanderers.

The beautiful essay in original can be read here: http://www.abhivyakti-hindi.org/snibandh/2.../ghummakad1.htm

Sanskrityayan himself was a wanderer, and lived in several countries. He was best known for his hold on Mahayana Bauddha darshan. He traveled to and lived in Tibet and Sri Lanka and wrote in Hindi especially on Dirgha Nikaya. It is a pity (or conspiracy?) that these treasures are not available in English, and restricted to Hindi.

His original name was Kedar Nath Pandey. HH-ji what was his gotra?
