Dr. K.Sivananda Murty (1928-2015) is one of the outstanding contemporary spiritual masters in the Guru tradition. The tradition traces its origins to Dakshinamurty, Sage Dattatreya, Maharshi Veda Vyasa, Bhagavan Sri Krishna and Sage Maitreya of Puranic times spanning to Acharya Sankara and Maharshi Ramana in modern times. Sanatana dharma is the gift of the great sages of yore to this country of Bharat. Guruji documented the lives and works of many such sages compiled from many Puranas in his two-volume "Maharshula Charitralu" in Telugu. Sivananda Murty is a complete Yogi and his unique elucidation of Kathopanishad, in his book Katha Yoga, received accolades from Jagadguru Bharati Tirtha Mahaswami of Sringeri. This Upanishad records the remarkable event of a boy Nachiketa, going to the realm of Lord Yama, the god of death and receiving knowledge from him regarding what happens to human beings after death as also how to conquer it. In his "Structure of the Universe -Vedic Viswaroopa" Dr Sivananda Murty, describes the Vedic conception of Brahmanda and its fourteen lokas in a manner appealing to the modern scientific mind. The locations of several lokas such as the Gandharvaloka, Vasuloka and many such realms nearer to earth have been identified on the basis of Vedic hymns.

For over three decades the author has been talking about the uniqueness of the life and teachings of Sri Krishna, a historical person, who walked on this earth some five thousand years ago. While we can easily find from Puranas the history of Sri Krishna, the real issues to be explored are the nature, the personality and the contributions of Sri Krishna, who was hailed by Vyasa as "bhagavaanswayam". He has authored several other books like Education System of India, Suvarnabhoomi, Hindu Marriages etc. He has authored hundreds of articles on a variety of subjects.

He has received D-Litt from Potti Sriramulu Telugu University and Gitam University, Mahamahopadhyaya from Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetham and Desikottama from Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham and many more awards of National importance.
