Life of Service
Introduction
Dr. Ekkirala Krishnamacharya, affectionately known as Master E.K., dedicated his life to the service of seekers, students and patients. His work bridged spiritual discipline with daily living, scholarship with simplicity, and healing with compassion.
His teachings continue to inspire seekers across India, Europe and many other parts of the world through study groups, healing centres, publications and service activities.
Academic Life
Education & Academic Career
Master E.K. pursued higher studies in Telugu literature and oriental learning. He later earned a Ph.D. in Telugu literature and became a respected lecturer and professor.
He served at Andhra University, where he taught literature, Vedic wisdom and philosophical subjects. His lectures were known for combining scholarship with practical spiritual understanding.
The Spiritual Current Behind the Work
From Master C.V.V. to Master E.K.
Master C.V.V. (Canchupati Venkatarao Venkaswami Rao, 1868–1922) was a yogi and spiritual reformer from Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu. He introduced Bhrikta Rahita Taraka Raja Yoga, a path of synthesis and transformation for the Aquarian Age. His teaching affirmed that spiritual growth is possible while living in the world: one may fulfil family and professional responsibilities while cultivating inner alignment, group consciousness, goodwill and service. The invocation “Master C.V.V. Namaskaram” became a central practice for aligning with this spiritual impulse.
The wisdom received by Master E.K. carried this same spirit of synthesis into a broad and practical expression. Master E.K. recognised Master C.V.V. as his spiritual teacher and demonstrated that yoga is not an escape from daily life, but its illumination. He translated the impulse into meditation, wisdom teaching, healing, homoeopathy, education, family life and selfless service, making profound spiritual principles approachable for modern seekers in both East and West.

Healing Work
Master E.K. & Homoeopathy
One of the most remarkable dimensions of Master E.K.'s work was his dedication to homoeopathy as a system of healing and service.
He viewed healing not merely as the treatment of disease, but as the restoration of harmony in body, mind and life. He adopted homoeopathy as a practical means to serve humanity and made it accessible to people irrespective of their financial background. Master Homoeo Vaidyalayam became a key centre where he personally conducted dispensary service and trained disciples in the art of homoeopathy.
Patient Service
Provided free homoeopathic consultation and care to a large number of patients.
Preventive Health
Encouraged disciplined living and spiritual practices for well-being.
Integrated Healing
Connected spiritual understanding with healing sciences.
From Principle to Service
Carrying Hahnemann's Core Concepts Forward
Master E.K. drew from Dr. Samuel Hahnemann's disciplined study of the whole person and transformed those principles into an accessible stream of healing, teaching and service.
He studied body, mind, constitution, temperament and daily life together rather than treating an isolated complaint.
He taught careful comparison between the patient's symptom totality and the known picture of the remedy.
He emphasised attentive case-taking, a carefully selected remedy and patient observation before repetition.
He taught that the remedy should correspond to the whole person, not merely to the name of a disease.
Hahnemann gave the foundational principles; Master E.K. carried them forward through organised group service for the welfare of humanity. Read about Dr. Samuel Hahnemann
