Friendz..dears.....Today Sep 1st is my revered father 'Puttaparthi'varu's 25th Vardhanthi....

From past ten days itself I am feeling guilty for 'NOT being successful' in publishing my father's works in his 100th year centenary celebrations. Though the funds were sanctioned by the then AP government, though I worked day and night in each and every work of press, though one book 'PADYA KAVYA SARVASWAM' of maa ayyagaru was released on Ugadi day of this year (31st March), complete copies r not available in the market because of 'due payments' to the press.
My father 'Puttaparthivaru' used to tell always 'RAJA KAALASYA KAARANAM'..means the rulers r the MAKERS of the TIME and changes.This is 100% true in my father's book publication even.
Though the orders of sanction of amount are with me, no body can do anything. Sanction is 'ON PAPER' but not in practical use.
Another  four complete works of  my father's "Gadya sahityam' namely 'Navala Katha Sahityam' 'Anuvada sahityam' and 'Vimarsana sahityam' (2volumes) are ready with all DTP works completed, no way to go for publication.
From past 18 years, I am publishing my father's works and with all my experience I can tell 'today,  there is more market for cinemas than the books.' Book reading is almost a DEAD habit. 
If at all it is there, it prefers Shortstories, Novels and Puranic books not the 'Traditional Padya Kavyas'.
Many copies of the books I published r still lying on the Chajjas (low roofs) of my home.
So in these circumstances I could not dare of publishing my father's books spending lakhs of rupees. 
I am answerable to my family even.Is n't it?
With all these developments, I am ashamed by being 'unsuccessful' in my challenge of   'PUTTAPARTHI SATHA JAYANTHI PRACHRANALU' like this.
Alllllllll apologies to that real 'SARASWATHI PUTRA'....
I hope that I will  complete this challenge (either on my own or other way) atleast till next VARDHANTHI of my father (1st Sep 2015).....

 As mentined earlier previously in my blog, I want to be THANKFUL to my revered father through out my life 'cause he and my lovely mother have given me a 'succesful life'. I want to be succesful even in the 'MEGA PUBLICATION' of my father's works...Pl support my feelings my friendz.....

Dr.Puttaparthi's 'Sivathandavam' Discourse by Dr. T.K.V.Raghavan - Part 1

Tadavayeranannu brochutaku..A telugu devotional by Dr.Puttaparthi

....
The above  devotional song  is written by my revered father Dr.Puttaparthivaru and composed by Sri Palagummi Viswanadhamgaru, for Bhakthiranjani, AIR Hyd. prog. (now rendered by me friendz)
Dr.Puttaparthi told many a times that Srimannarayana was his main deity (upasya daivam) and so  'Astakshari mantra
 was his chanting mantra. He completed some crores of rendering (japa) of the above mantra and afterwards continued the chanting without any count.
We, the family members used to see him doing the above 'japam' always. His right fingers used to move accordingly telling the viewers that he is chanting continuously. 
'Astakshari' as per my father is the Mantra that is more suitable for the people aspiring for 'Mukthi' and so while in the couse of chanting, the mantra releives the bhaktha from all the worldly emotions.
This is the one which was rendered by Bhagavadramanuja from the top of the shrine, to all the common people irrespective of cast and creed, to get them MOKSHA.
When ever any sishya used to approach my father for any 'mantropadesam'. he used to tell him 'Mantram from a person like me, a Moksha aspirant, will give no benefits to u.Instead pl. go to 'mee amma' (puttaparthi's wife and our mother) for 'mantropadesam' cause she is devotee  of Rama, who stands for the 'family values'.
        'EkOpi KrisNasya sakRuth praNamaha
         daSaaswamEdhava bhRutEna tulyam,
         daSaaswamedhi punarEpi janma
         KrisNa praNAmO na punarbhavAya'
This was the sloka with which he used to start his RamayaNa  pravachanam in 1970s, at Sri Visweswaraalayam, Kadapa.The above sloka says that 'one namaskaram to Krishna is equal to ten aswamedha yagnams. one gets re-birth even after performing ten aswamedha yagnams, but with one pranam to Lord Krishna, that person will not get re-birth at all.
'People who want no re-birth, should worship Krishna'.So friiendz, in this auspecious moments of  'Sri Krishna Jayanthi' pl. render the name of 'Sri Krishna' as many a times as possible, do pranams to 'Sri Krishna' as many a times possible if u r fed up with the present trends of political dramas, FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTTTTTT life and not able to 'LIVE the life' properly, peacefully and aesthetically.....
      'KrushNa paramAtma, yadukula ksheeravardhi
       PurNachandrama! Devakiputra, sujanavinutha,
       NarayaNAya,VisvESa, viSwa vandya,..

       maa dEva, nIkidE praNuthi Sathamu'..  ..'Pothana'...........

Mariyadana neeku..Astakshari krithi of Dr.Puttaparthivaru

Unforgettable.......

Friendz dears...As far as I remember, meeting my revered father was one of the 'IMPORTANT Things' to many of the writers when ever they used to come to kadapa in those days. Keeping in view his age also many poets were coming to our house and used to have ayyagari blessings for their book releases and request for a foreword for their books even. Sri Ogeti Achyutha Rama Sastrigaru came to my father along with a fotographer and took foto sitting besides my father. That might be one of his valuable remembrances.The above foto was printed in one of the News papers even...Hmmmmmm...So nice na?
Here is the recent article on my revered father's 'Meghadutham' published in 'Musi' a monthly literary journal from Hyderabad.,,

I am thankful to Shri Gabbita Durgaprasadgaru for forwarding this article to me....Friendz...My lil.sis Mrs. Anuradha and me always recollect the days in the precious presence of my revered father and mother. Recently she told her experience.  As she is younger to me by 9 years, she was still in second inter. One day she was reaching home after her tuition in the evening at about 7.45pm. On her way back home, she noticed police security in our street. She thought that 'why this security in the night? Probably any VIP is going this way.' As she came near our house she saw more police in the entrance of our hose too. Surprisingly when she entered home, she was told by the police to keep silence as 'District collector' is inside our home. As she entered into 'Padasaala' (hall in our coloquial house hold) she saw my ayyagaru talking to the collector from the 'DOMATERA' (Mosquito net) it self. Collector very obediently talked to my father and went away doing Padanamaskaram to Puttaparthi varu...That was the practice of respect being given to Puttaparthi varu in those days even by collector of the district...

Friendz..Now a days scene has changed..Is n't it? .... ..

Me and me lil.sis.Anuradha on recent Varalakshmivratham day..

Friendz dears,,
My recent activity is, going thru the old albums and trying to feed some important information about maa ayyagaru to u...In that process , I found out the following foto and wanted to share some thoughts with u all....

..

In the above foto, I could recognise only Vallampati Venkatasubbayya, (in a very young age) before the mike.Sitting on the dias, Puttaparthivaru also is seen.First from left...  Vallampati  was ardent lover of my father. Right from his college days. after his introduction to my father's writings, he never turned back, though his ideologies  changed and though his activities widened. He stated himself that he started writing novels as per the advise of my father. Later also he, in one of his reviews commented negetively on my father's work. Even then, my father Puttaparthivaru told him to be 'IMPARTIAL' and 'UNINFLUENCED' in criticism. The same way he followed until his last breath and Vallampati is being remembered as an Excellent critic of yester years. In this context, I feel the STRAIGHT FORWARDEDNESS of my revered father in advising Vallampativaru also to continue as a 'WORTHY CRITIC' and not as a mere reviewer- the same path followed by my revered father also, as a writer, critic, polyglot and vaggeyakara.
