28 Mar 1988
Srinath Tripathi was born on 14 March 1913 in Varanasi (then Benaras) into a family of priests and Sanskrit scholars. His father used to teach in a local college as well as perform the duties of a priest in the Kashi Vishwanath temple and the Annapoorna temple. Tripathi himself learnt Sanskrit as a young boy. He spent his time reading Hindu scriptures, and by the age of 14, he knew the Bhagawad Gita by heart.
