Google boy to celebrate his 'janma-tithi' in Kashi

VARANASI: Kautilya, the child prodigy popularly known as 'Google boy', from Karnal district of Haryana, will celebrate his ‘janma-tithi’'(birthday) in Kashi as per Hindu calendar on ‘Margashirsha Purnima’ that falls on December 13.
His birthday as per English calendar is on December 24, but he insisted to celebrate it at Sri Vidya Math here at Kedar Ghat with Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati, the chief disciple of Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati.
He had invited Avimikteshwaranad to attend his birthday at his native place in Karnal on December 24. But, the seer showed his inability to attend the function, as he only takes part only in those ceremonies, which are celebrated as per Hindu calendar. "When he came to know about it, he decided to celebrate his ‘janma-tithi here," said the seer.
Kautilya had also visited the math in the past and met the seer when he was felicitated at the centenary celebrations of Sanatan Dharm inter college, Nayi Sadak in 2014. The boy is famous for his exceptional grasping power and memory. Kautilya earned attention due to his exceptional grasping power and memory. He can answer questions on any subject.
