Narasimhacharya S G & Ramanuja Iyengar M A
Sri M A Ramanuja Iyengar after working at Arya Matha Sanjeevini magazine with Pandit Asuri Anandalwar and Komaraswamy Tirumalcharya, met Sri S G Narasimhacharya and both of them continued in Arya Matha Sanjeevini which closed down after publishing a couple of books. Later on both MAR and SGN joined together and started Karnataka Kaavya Manjiri in 1892 which ran for 5 years and brought out many books and stopped publishing due to unforeseen circumstances. However, their air was to serve Kannad Literature and hence they started another magazine 'Karnataka Kalanidhi' in 1899 which ended in 1916. Meanwhile SGN passed away in 1907and the responsibility of the magazine was left to MAR. For details of Life History of both the Authors, please refer to Authors S G Narasimhacharya and M A Ramanuja Iyengar in the Mandayam Digital Library.
