Venkataachalapati PraNati

[Guest guest]

I think I had my share of questions. I want to share something else now.

 

Yesterday after I recd. books of Shree Ananta Rangaachaar - I was

looking at my collections and I found unpublished work of my father

-Shreeman Kuntimaddi Seshacharlu on Venkatachalapati PraNati. This

is a small book of Venkateswara sthuti - 45 sloka-s. I was pleasantly

surprised to read in the introduction and in one of the sloka-s. If I

can translate the telugu part- He wrote -

 

" Last June 1990, Shreeman N.S Ananta Rangaacharlu from Bangalore

asked me if there are any new works on Shree Venkateswara Stuti - Is

there any thing that you have written recently - I said I did not

write any - but he motivated me to write this - started on 26 June

and finished on 28th, 1990 .... and Let him hear this composition"

 

There are 45 slokas - of these the 42nd one the sloka reads

 

padyaanyanatarangaa

chaaryanumatena sheshhadaasena

venkaTa dharaNiipatiH

aalekhaya damuuni paThita doshhaj~naaH||

 

ananta rangaacharya anumatena seshadaasena amuuni padyaani vennkaTa

dharanii dharapateH

aalekhayat| doshhaj~naaH paTita|

 

According to the wishes of Shree Ananta Rangachaarya, Lord

Venkateswara has propelled this Seshadaasa to compose these poems. I

hope these will be read by the pandits ( doshhaj~naaH - who know the

right from wrong).

 

We just heard the telephone lectures of Shree Ananta Rangachar. I am

pleasantly surprised that my father knew him well. Additional

motivation for me to go and prostrate at the feet of the achaarya

when I visit Bangalore next time. I would like to post slowly

sloka-s from this Venkateswara praNati along with the meaning on the

list. I am also slowly translating another small book of my father

on VishishhTadvaita and post bit by bit from this book also.

 

Hari OM!
