Shri. Guruji, born in Mahārāṣṭra, has been deeply rooted in the Hindu tradition and drawn to the wisdom of the Veda-s since childhood. At the early age of twelve, he resolved to dedicate his life to the study and mastery of the Veda-s.
He pursued in-depth studies of Śukla Yajurveda at Bhosalā Vedaśāstra Mahāvidyālaya, Nagpur – a distinguished traditional school of Veda and Śāstra of that time. There, he studied under the revered Shri. Nanashastri Muley (Ghanapāṭhī, M.A., a Saṃskṛta scholar of Nagpur University, comprehender of Śrīmad-Bhāgavata and Orator). Under the Guru-Śiṣya Paramparā, he completed the recitation and memorization traditions of Saṃhitā, Pada-Pāṭha, and Krama-Pāṭha of Śukla Yajurveda.
In addition to his core learning, he received advanced guidance from eminent Vedic scholars across India, including Shri Śrīkṛṣṇaśāstrī Godse Guruji and Shri Nārāyaṇaśāstrī Bhānoṣe Guruji. He also qualified for the Mahāparīkṣā of Veda and secured the first rank.
Following his mastery of the Śukla Yajurveda, Shri. Guruji specialized in all aspects of Paurohitya (ritualistic practice). He has actively participated in numerous Vaidika Sammelana-s and Veda-Pārāyaṇa-s both in India and abroad. He was a part of prestigious Pārāyaṇa events held at places such as Didwana (Gujarat), Janakpur (Nepal), Prayāga, Dāgaduśeṭh Gaṇeśa Temple, Pune, and various locations in India.

Later, he settled in Nagpur and chose to pursue Paurohitya as his profession. His thirst for deeper knowledge led him to study the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa and advanced chanting techniques like Jaṭā-Pāṭha and Ghana-Pāṭha under Late Shri. Manoharshastry Joshi, a Śatapatha Cūḍāmaṇi, Rāṣṭrapati Puraskāra awardee, Salakṣaṇa Ghanapāṭhī, and a master of Saṃskṛta.
He has also organised and hosted enormous yajña-s such as Atirudra, Āyuta-caṇḍī, etc.
His depth of knowledge, rooted in tradition and honed through decades of practice, places him among the few rare masters in India who combine traditional Vedic education, mastery over Karmakāṇḍa, and deep scriptural understanding.
For over 25 years, he has taught students in the Gurukula style at his residence in Nagpur, known as Veda Bhavanam, where numerous disciples have learned Veda and Paurohitya under his guidance, and the tradition continues to this day.
In 2020, Ācārya founded Nigamakalpataru Gurukulam with the vision of imparting traditional Vedic wisdom to future generations through authentic, rooted methods. He continues to serve as a guide, examiner, and mentor for students and is associated with several like-minded institutions dedicated to Vedic preservation.
Ācārya Ganesh Joshi is widely recognized as one of the foremost contemporary masters of Śukla Yajurveda and Karmakāṇḍa in India.
