Life of Service
Introduction
Sri Kompella Satyanarayana Sastry was born on 7 April 1936 at Vemavaram in East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh. He joined Indian Railways and retired as a Senior Accounts Officer, South Eastern Railway, Visakhapatnam, in October 1994.
Though professionally associated with the Railways, his deeper life’s work unfolded through homoeopathy, spiritual service, social upliftment and the guidance of seekers and patients.
Guru & Guidance
Path Under Master E.K.
Dr. Sastry moved to Visakhapatnam with Indian Railways in 1963. Around that time, when his son fell ill, he approached Sri Kulapathi Ekkirala Krishnamacharya, known as Master E.K., for treatment.
Through repeated interactions, he was deeply influenced by Master E.K.'s service and contribution to society. In 1965, he was initiated into the path of service and ancient wisdom, and thereafter followed the path shown by the Master.
He firmly believed that successful treatment of a patient was enabled by the blessings of his Guru, Master E.K.

A Living Continuity
Hahnemann's Principles in Dr. Sastry's Service
Guided by Master E.K., Dr. K. S. Sastry carried Hahnemann's core concepts into decades of careful treatment, physician training and free service to humanity.
He taught physicians to understand physical symptoms, mental disposition, constitution, modalities and characteristic features together.
His teaching upheld careful remedy selection, restrained dosage and observation of the patient's response before changing the prescription.
He stressed patience, attentive listening and freedom from haste or assumption, especially in difficult and chronic cases.
He allowed time to observe the patient's response before repeating, changing or replacing a prescription.
What began as Hahnemann's disciplined search for a law of cure became, through Master E.K. and Dr. Sastry, a sustained work for the welfare of humanity. Explore Hahnemann's core principles
