Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi
Sri Kapali Sastry came to the feet of the Maharishi in 1911, as a disciple introduced by Kavyakanta Ganapati Muni.
He was not an inmate of the Ashram, as his relationship preceded the formation of the Ramanashramam and he later came to reside permanently at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.
He wrote the commentary on Sat Darshana, titled the Sat Darshana Bhashyam. The Sat Darshana was the Muni's Sanskrit rendering of the Maharishi's Tamil உள்ளது நாற்பது (Ulladu Narpadu). He also wrote the English translation of this commentary, making it accessible to a much wider audience and is readable mostly in its own right directly, even without reference to the original Sanskrit.
Another signal work by him is the Ramana Gita Prakasa. This was a very significant exposition of the Maharishi's Mahayoga by the Muni, in Sanskrit. There is one chapter in the Ramanagita which renders in a question-answer form, the Maharishi's instructions to Sri Kapali Sastry.
Sastriar wrote the Prakasa and dedicated it, in October 1941, at the feet of Bhagavan, with the blessing of the Mother. He also drafted an English translation of the introduction.
The Collected works also give the other poetic, prose and excerpts from Sastriar's writings, notes and speech on the Maharishi.
