The Institute is located ideally in a central place in Bangalore, in the premises of the Mythic Society on the Nripatunga Road, hardly
half a kilometer away from the Vidhana Soudha. It has already a full-fledged infrastructure needed for an academic institution, including a well-equipped
classroom, audio-visual and other teaching aids and two libraries serving the needs of this institution.
The Mythic Society Library
The library of the Mythic Society with over 30,000 books and several current journals and back volumes is one of the well
stocked and well managed libraries in Bangalore city. Founded in 1909, it has been enriched with continuous addition of books and journals over the last 90
years, and specially by acquisition, through donation or purchase, of personal libraries of a number of scholars. The collections thus represent a wide
variety of choice of four generations of Indological scholarship. With the generous allocation of funds by the Mythic Society and grants from the Raja Ram
Mohan Roy Library Foundation and other agencies, the library has acquired a large number of new publications in recent years. The Library has also a
collection of some old Sanskrit and Kannada manuscripts, historical documents in Kannada, Marathi and Persian and a few contemporary paintings.
Sakaleshpur Srikantaya Memorial Library
With the generous contributions provided by the family members of Late S. Srikantaya, former Secretary of the Mythic Society, a new
library has been started as a part of the M.H. Krishna Institute. While the Mythic Society Library is available for consultation, this is envisaged to serve as a text book library
and students and staff of the institute are allowed to borrow books and other reading material. It has already acquired more than 1200 books besides some journals, maps, off-prints and other
reference material.
