Mahapragya started writing when he was 22 and did not cease until his death. He authored more than 300 books. These works deal with meditation and spirituality, the mind, the human psyche and its traits, the roots of emotions and their manifestation through behaviour,Mantra saadhana, Yoga, Anekantavada, Non-violence, and Jain philosophy and history.

Mahapragya formulated Preksha meditation and wrote extensively on this topic. In these books he described various techniques of meditations and their effects on the psyche, physiology, hormonal influences, the endocrine system, and the nervous system.

Acharya Mahapragya is one of the most erudite and spiritually elevated saints of India. Very few religious heads possess the qualities that Mahapragyaji evinces in his life. There is nothing extraordinary about his appearance- tall frail body, broad forehead with minute lines, shining eyes, innocent visage attired in white sheet of cloth covering the portion above his waist. But those who come into his contact, sit with him for sometime and have a dialogue with him on the problems that beset the world are amazed at his intuitive insights and wisdom, his quest of the self and his exploration into mind beyond mind. Full of humility and with utmost devotion and gratitude to his revered Guru Late Acharya Tulsi, Acharya Mahapragya’s.

Acharya Mahapragya’s personality is truly many-splendoured. He is a meditative yogi, a monk, a thinker, a writer, a researcher, a dedicated disciple of his Guru, a nonviolence marcher, and above all an effulgent soul. His figure bears a striking likeness to that of Gandhi. Verily he continues the legacy of active nonviolence

Mr. Sunder Rajan, an eminent aura specialist commented when he first saw the Acharya in 1994. He said, “Such an aura is rarely possessed by anyone. All the colours in it are pure, radiant and powerful. Your aura is diffused with yellow, blue and green colours. It indicates that you are endowed with intuitive insight and extra – sensory perception. What strikes most in your aura is that there isn’t any tainted and distorted colour in it.”
His outstanding intelligence is a matter of surprise even for the intelligentsia
He is a treasure house of infinite knowledge
He was popularly known as a ‘mobile encyclopaedia’.

As a poet, it is difficult to categorise him into a type. Is he a poet of torrential waves of ecstasy or renunciation, a singer of nature’s beauty or its monstrosity or of the man in clutches of machine, mechanization or machinations nobody can tell.

For Acharya Mahapragya writing:
“Between one full stop and the next sentence, a kingdom can be built”
