ORIENTAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE
e-mail : orientalresearchinstitute@yahoo.co.in
Sri Venkateswara Oriental Research Institute was started in July, 1939 by the
Management of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams with a view that it should be a first-rate
Research and Training Centre with appropriate divisions for the study of Sanskrit and
other languages of the Hindu religion and Philosophy and of Hindu culture generally.
Under the Management of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, the Oriental Research Institute
published sixteen volumes of the Oriental Journal and about sixty-four books in Sanskrit
(20), English (8), Telugu (19) Tamil (17) under three series named Sri Venkateswara
Oriental Series, Sri Venkateswara Oriental Institute Studies and Sri Visistadvaita Sampradaya
Granthamala, covering the areas of Kosa, Dharma sastra, Vyakarana, Scientific literature
like Mathematics, Saiva, Vaikhamala and Pancaratra Agamas, Vedanta, Kavya, Stotra
and Psychology. The Bharatakosa by M.R. Kavi and the History of Sanskrit Literature by
M. Krishnamachariar Published from this Institute have become indispensable basic tools
of research in Sanskrit Literate and literacy criticism. The Tength All India Oriental Conference
in 1940 and the Fourth Session of Sanskrit Vishva Parishat in 1955 were held inTirupati
under the auspices of the Institute. When the Sri Venkateswara University was established,
for the encouragement of higher education and research in all branches of learning
particularly on Oriental learning, Sanskrit, Ancient Indian Arts and Culture, Architecture
and Fine Arts, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams handed over the Institute on the 1st
November 1956, with a view to promote its activities in a broader perspective with well
qualified research staff. With limited resources and meagre staff the Instutte continued to
function with the same zeal and aspirations with which it was started and could publish 43
volumes of Oriental Journal and 30 books in English (3), Sanskrit (15), Telugu (10) and
two volumes of the Descriptive catalogue. A Seminar on Andhra's contribution to Indian
Culture was held in March 1972 and a National Seminar on the eve of Centenary
Celebration of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi was conducted on 20-08-1997.
In 1979, the Institute moved to its own new building. It was named "Tiruppan Alvar
Bhavan" in sacred memory of Saint Tiruppan alvar who sang in praise of Sri Vishnu in the
ninth century A.D. The Library of the Institute contains 17,038 manuscripts and 43,000
printed books. Each book in the library is purchased selectively on consideration of its
utility in the research activities of the Insitute covering all the fields of Indian tradition. There
is a binding section to repair damaged books. But many of the books in the old collection
are irreparable, as the paper became very brittle and got damaged. So the Library is run
onclosed access system. All possible facilities are provided for the bonafide research
scholars and learned public to consult the books in the Reading Room.
