Early life and education

Rewa Prasad Dwivedi was born in Nadner^[3] (22 August 1935);^[4][1]), on the banks of the Narmada river in Madhya Pradesh, to Pandit Narmada Prasad Dwivedi and Lakshmi Devi. He was orphaned when he was about eight years old. After completing basic education in Sanskrit in Madhya Pradesh, he traveled as a teenager to Varanasi to study Sanskrit at Banaras Hindu University.^[5] Despite poverty, he excelled in Sanskrit language and literature in both the traditional system at Faculty of Sanskrit Vidya Dharma Vijnan,^[6] and modern system at Faculty of Arts^[7] at Banaras Hindu University. His primary teacher and mentor was Pandit Mahadev Shastri.^{[citation needed]} Dwivedi obtained a Sahityacharya title and a M.A. degree in Sanskrit from Banaras Hindu University.^{[citation needed]} He received a PhD from Ravi Shankar University, Raipur,^[8] in 1965, and a D.Litt. from Jabalpur University in 1974.^[9]

Dwivedi's main area of work is in Sanskrit Sahitya (literature), but he was an expert in the Sanskrit language disciplines of Navya-nyaya (logic), Darshana (philosophy), and Vyakarana (grammar), as well as the scripts of Brahmi, Sarada and Nagari.^{[citation needed]}

Career

Dwivedi was emeritus professor of Sanskrit at the Banaras Hindu University,^[10] Varanasi, India, where he taught Sanskrit Literature from 1969 to 1995. He was Dean, Faculty of Sanskrit Vidya and Dharm Vijnan^[11] for three 2-year terms between 1979 and 1989, and multi-term Head of the Sanskrit Literature Department at this faculty. He was also a Member of Banaras Hindu University's Executive Council as well as its Academic Council.^{[citation needed]} Before joining Banaras Hindu University, he taught Sanskrit literature in various roles in India's central state Madhya Pradesh's colleges in Raipur and Indore. Dwivedi has served on various national policy-making bodies for Sanskrit education in India.^{[citation needed]}

In the early 1980s, Dwivedi organized the World Sanskrit Conference at Banaras Hindu University. He traveled to the US, Canada, and Europe to participate in other World Sanskrit Conferences as part of Government of India's delegation, American Oriental Society Meeting,^[12] and in personal capacity to conduct manuscript reviews at institutions such as Harvard University's Houghton Library.^[13]

Dwivedi was the founder of a non-profit institution Kalidas Sansthan in Varanasi.^[14][15] This institute has published books in Sanskrit literature.^[9] After retiring from official role at Banaras Hindu University, Dwivedi continued to read, research and create literature daily in his personal study and library,^[16] where he also taught students from the nearby campus^[17] of Banaras Hindu University free of charge.
