As a teenager, one day when he was crossing the Ganges River, he found the Bhagavad Gita written on some old palm leaves. This coincidence inspired him to propagate the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita throughout his life.

He also translated the Yoga Vasishta into Telugu and the Dhammapada, a Buddhist work from Hindi into Sanskrit and Telugu. The Bhagavad Gita Makarandam was his most notable work. This is a commentary on Bhagavad Gita which he first wrote in Telugu. This book was later translated into Tamil, English, Kannada, Hindi, etc. and now into Spanish by Pedro Nonell.

In 1950 he founded the Sukabrahma Ashram, where as a daily routine, he used to explain the Bhagavad Gita and other Spiritual works to the Ashram seekers.

The Ashram has transformed itself into a center of spiritual learning, having completed 108 Jnana Yannas of the Bhagavad Gita and as many as 58 symposia on the sacred text.
