Mysuru :

There was a special award waiting for Krishnappa at the 15th Annual Convocation of KSOU held here on Thursday. Seventy-eight-year-old Krishnappa, a resident of Kanavanaghatta in Channarayapatna taluk of Hassan district had appeared for MA Sanskrit examination and has passed with 57 per cent and also received a cash prize.

A relentless learner, Krishnappa says that his age never hindered him from appearing for the exam and added that he engaged himself in reading spiritual books after his retirement. Krishnappa also said that Sanskrit was an ocean of knowledge and this had inspired him to take up Master’s in the subject.

Krishnappa says that he wanted to attain spiritual knowledge and hence, read a number of books and added that he would continue to read and acquire knowledge till his last breath.
