Sadācārabodhinī, a remarkable Sanskrit treatise by the great ṛṣi Kāvyakaṇṭha Vasiṣṭha Śrī Gaṇapati Muni, is a shining compendium of verses that illuminate the timeless principles of Ācāra—righteous conduct, as enshrined in the Vedic Sanātana Dharma. In an era clouded by moral ambiguity and spiritual superficiality, this work comes as a divine clarion call reminding us of the foundational values taught and lived by the ṛṣis of ancient India.

A clear, Veda-approved path to righteous living (sadācāra).
A call to embody Dharma in action, not just in belief or speech.
A means to reconnect with the authentic Vedic tradition—devoid of dogma, blind faith, or mere ritualism.
A tool to rebuild society on the principles of inner transformation, truthfulness, self-restraint, and service.
About the Author – Śrī Gaṇapati Muni
Known as the “Lion of Vedic Knowledge,” Kāvyakaṇṭha Śrī Gaṇapati Muni was one of the greatest spiritual-intellectual figures of modern India. A direct disciple of Bhagavān Śrī Ramana Maharshi, he was a master of mantras, a mystic poet, a fierce dharma-yoddha (warrior of dharma), and a true R̥ṣi of our times. His clarity, depth, and purity of expression in Sanskrit command unmatched reverence.
This work reflects his conviction that true dharma is rooted in living ācāra, not in dry doctrine—and is thus his heartfelt message to seekers of all backgrounds.
