Ganapati, when 18 years old, set out and wandered from one place to another, residing in places like Bhuvaneshwar, where he performed his tapas. [...] Ganapati Muni's teachings are laid out in his magnum opus, “Uma Sahasra� and other works like “Mahavidyadi Sutras�. They helped to reduce popular prejudice about the teachings of Tantra.

Vasishtha Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni (1878 1936) belongs to the rare race of intellectual and spiritual giants who crowded into the narrow corridors of the last quarter of 19th and first four decades of the 20th century to endow life, letters and all endeavors with meaning, purpose and altitude. [...] Ganapati Muni was born in Kalavarayi near Bobbili in Andhra Pradesh on 17th November 1878. He belonged to a family of Sri Vidya initiates (in vashishtha gotram), which had actually migrated from a village near Kumbakonam in Tamil Nadu in the late 16th or early 17th century (later the family was well-known as the “Ayyalasomayajulu� family). His parents, Narasimha Sastry and Narasamamba, had three sons, Ganapati being the middle on. [...] 

The poet seer Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni met Sri Aurobindo on 15th August 1928. He stayed at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram for about a fortnight. During this stay at the Ashram, the Muni meditated with The Mother a few times. After one such meditation, The Mother expressed that the Muni was a real yogi who could plunge into great depths the moment he started meditation and that she had not so far found any person abiding in Her spiritual consciousness as Ganapati Muni did.
