About The Author
Kvj. Ganpati Singh Verma dedicated his whole life for the cause of human welfare through his field of specialisation His works were designed to bring man closer to the nature in the era of science & technology. He devoted his youth in gathering information on the Indian system of Medicine both from the ancient texts and the holymen (saints) who practised it to combat the diseases prevedent among the masses. He observed the sole reason for gradual decline of peoples faith in Indian system of Medicine as not the influence of long period of British rule in India alone but the inability of the people to understand the contents of the text books on the subject. He, therefore, concentrated all his efforts in bringing this gap by writing the literature in non-technical but comprehensive language.

Whereas he never-rated the teachings of ancient texts or prescribed pharmacoepial medicines therein but for fear of the modern vaidyas inabilities in working out the adequate combinations thereof, he stressed on experimenting the trusted and time-tested formulations of Saints for overcoming the evils of disease. Prior to his efforts, these formulations used to remain confined to them alone and vanished with their joining the majority. His contribution in gathering, preserving and finally presenting to general public made him a unique personality who lived for the cause of humanity with nationalistic feelings. His work have opened doors for further research in the field of Ayurveda.

His youthful spirit made him join the Indian National Congress in 1930 and flow with the main stream of struggle for independence. Born in Chautala District Sirsa (Haryana) Ganpati Singh belonged to an agriculturists family. He was one of the few mentors of Ch. Devi Lal, former Dy. Prime Minister of India, who inculcated in him the feeling to struggle for the cause of millions. He himself, however, quit politics totally when he noticed gradual downfall in political values after independence and focussed all his energy to the cause of Ayurveda. He was awarded the honour of “PRANACHARYA’ by the Indra Prasthiya Vaidya Sabha, Delhi, in 1965.

In recognition of his services in his field and as a gesture of goodwill and regard, the Govt. of Haryana honoured him as Advisor (Ayurveda) to the Chief Minister, Haryana during 1977-79. He was also designated as Chairman Ayurveda Development Board, Haryana, during that period. The noble soul, after serving the humanity left for its heavenly abode on 29thApril, 1983.
