Sri:mathe: Ramanujayanamaha!

Sri Jeeyar Thiruvadigale: Saranam!

Jai Srimannarayana

 

Our motherland has always been the most hospitable source of inspiration for

generations of poets and writers. Hence to no surprise, we have the most

legendary epics such as Rigveda, Bhagavthgeetha, Ramayana, Mahabharatha and

puranas. These epics are life giving and life sustaining forces to the humanity.

 

Following the classical tradition, the renowned poet and the then emperor

Srikrishnadevaraya who reigned the Vijayanagara Empire in Southern India five

centuries ago presented a great Telugu poetical work "Amuktha Malyada" to the

Indian literature. It is an admirable poetry extending onto fiction and

knowledgeable editions for all the ages. In this great contribution, the emperor

Srikrishnadevaraya focussed upon the wedding story of Godadevi (Andal), the lone

daughter of Srivishnuchitta, a very famous devotee of Srivilliputture in

Tamilnadu. The marriage was with Sriranganatha an incarnation of lord Krishna

idolized at Srirangam.

 

Today, a dedicated scholar of Telugu literature Dr. K. Venkata Charya with all

good intentions of bringing laurels to Indian literature analyzed the main

aspect of philosophy intricately vowen in "Amukta Malyada". The title of the

book is "Amukta Malyada and its Philosophy". He has critically studied various

literary works of great authors relevant to the context covered in Sanskrit,

Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and English languages. This book covers all the intricacies

of Indian culture and values.

 

Dr. Venkata Charya attained M.A. (Telugu) from Osmania University in 1965, and

got "two Gold Medals", having secured University first rank. He did M.A. in

Sanskrit

from the same University and Ph. D., from Kakatiya University.

 

He served as the head of the esteemed Sanskrit Degree College at Warangal in

A.P. His commendable services to the Education Department were recogonized by

the Government of Andhra Pradesh and honoured him with "Best College Teacher

Award", in 1986. Besides, he was bestowed with awards such as "Sahithya Vidya

Praveena" and "Upanyasaka Ratna".

 

Now he wishes to spread the philosophical fragrance of Telugu literature through

his work. Many laureates of literature appreciated the review mentioned above

and complemented that this would be a good stimulation for all the upcoming

dedicated

writers, and a source of knowledge to every one of the present and future

generations.

Jai Srimannarayana!
