Noted religious scholar and orator, Rama Dikshitar, now in his mid-seventies hails from Sengalipuram, one of the several hamlets in Thanjavur District. His chanting were reminiscent of the glorious days of Rama Dikshitar's uncle, Sengalipuram Anantharama Dikshitar, and father, Sengalipuram Narayana Dikshitar, trendsetters in the field of religious expositions.

He was trained in Niyamadhyayanam in Gudalur for a year under the tutelage of Gudalur Ramachandra Sastrigal. Mudicondan Vaidyanatha Sastrigal trained him in Yajur Veda. He went on to learn Sastras from Niyamathampettai Sundaresa Sastrigal, and Siddhampalur Kalyanasundara Sastrigal stayed in his ancestral house to make him an expert in Vyakaranams.

Rama Dikshitar's range of subjects include the Ramayanam , Mahabharatham,Tiruvilaydal Puranam, Skandam, Bhagavatham, Devi Bhagavatham and Soundaryalahari.

Rama Dikshitar has received several titles from organisations across the country.
