Sherab Gyatso
A portrait of Lama Sherab Gyatso, author unknown
Lived in the 19th Century. One of the most famous of the Mongolian scholars in Tibet and India. He founded Ghoom Yidgha Choeling Monastery in mid-nineteenth century. He had also been a tutor to the Eighth Panchen Lama. Ghoom Monastery is the first ever Tibetan Buddhist monastery built in the Darjeeling region
(what is now Darjeeling District of West Bengal state of India). He is believed to have authored several books on
Tibetan astrology, but they were lost from the library of Ghoom Monastery during later years. We are
in search of his biography and the astrological works.
Ghoom (Yidgha Choeling) Monastery is still in Darjeeling, India
