THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Scientific Mananagement - Spirtual Way

"Something of Every thing and Everthing of Something is way towards excellence."

- Sai Bindu.

TOPIC OF THE DAY

Rashtrakavi M. Govind Pai

Born in a well-to-do Goud Saraswat family of Mangalore, Pai was brilliant student at school and had Panje Mangesh Rao as his guru at school, who was a great writer and teacher of Kannada. Pai came to own property from his mother's side in Manjeshwar and was compelled to stay there. He built an excellent home-library for self-study which contained more than five thousand volumes in thirty-six languages at the time of his death. He was conversant in many Indian languages like Bengali, Gujarathi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Urdu, Pali, Sanskrit, Kannada, and Tulu. Konkani was his mother tongue. He taught himself Latin, Greek, French, Spanish and German and utilized the original sources in historical research. His meticulously maintained study-books, notes and diaries speak volumes of the painstaking hours, days, moths and years in studying various languages and cultures.
