H. V. Vishwanath (1962) was privileged to spend his early years (1972-94) in the lap of Ramakrishna Math, B’lore. As a member of its Vivekananda Balaka Sangha and the Yuvaka Sangha, he developed a strong penchant for singing and literature. Later, under the guidance of Swami Purushottamanandaji he honed his skills as a writer-editor. In the early 1990’s Vishwanath got involved with teaching bhajans to several individuals and groups including the Ramakrishna Sevashrama and Sri Sharada Sevashrama, which led to the formation of Sharada Gurukula.
