Gadiyaram Ramakrishna Sarma (6 March 1919 - 25 July 2006) was a Telugu writer, Sanskrit scholar, researcher, reformist, and historian. Sarma won the Kendra Sahitya Academy Award in Telugu for the Year 2007 for his autobiography: "Satapatram" ("A Hundred Petals"). In "A Hundred Petals," Sarma devoted very little space to writing about himself but penned what he had seen during his nine-decade-long life. His autobiography emerged as an authentic work on contemporary social, political, and cultural conditions. Sarma presented "A Hundred Petals" to his wife, Kammalamma, with a word of praise for her patience.
