Vāsiṣṭhadarśana (वासिष्ठदर्शन) (in 45 ślokas) is the name of a topic of the sūtra-grantha-mālā-division of the collected works of Vasishtha Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni (1878 -1936), according to the essay written by Dr. Sampadananda Mishra (सम्पदानन्दमिश्रः / ସମ୍ପଦାନନ୍ଦ ମିଶ୍ର).—Ganapati Muni (also known as Ayyala Somayajulu Ganapathi Sastry) was a disciple of Ramana Maharshi (இரமண மகரிசி)—an Indian Hindu sage from the 19th century. He was born into a family well-known for its traditional learning and worship of the Divine as Mother (Sri Vidya / Shaktism). His teachings were collected by his disciple, Srivatsa-Natesan, and kept there. Highlighting various categories and topics [e.g., vāsiṣṭhadarśana] [=vāsiṣṭhadarśanam], Dr. Sampadananda Mishra has edited and divided the entire literary storehouse of the sage in his essay called—“vāsiṣṭhagaṇapatimuneḥ sāhityam” (वासिष्ठगणपतिमुनेः साहित्यम्).
