The Bhagavad Gita Foundation was launched at a glittering function

held at Ravindra Bharati in Hyderabad on January 19, with popular

playback singer Gangadhar as the founder president. Sri Sri Sri

Tridandi China Srimannarayana Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamy unveiled the logo.

Later, thespian Akkineni Nageswara Rao launched the Bhagavad Gita

website. It is worth mentioning here that Gangadhar, who was a popular

classical singer, had taken up the singing of the entire Bhagavad

Gita.

 

According to him, the late Ghantasala had taken up the project and

rendered only 108 slokas and after that his health did not permit him

to complete it. Hence, Gangadhar decided to complete the unfinished

project of Ghantasala. Legendaries like Akkineni Nageswara Rao, C

Narayana Reddy, K Raghavendra Rao were the members of the foundation.

The entire Ravindra Bharati was filled with a devotional atmosphere

and turned a devotional centre.

 

Speaking on the occasion, the speakers say, 'We listened to six

slokas rendered by Gangadhar and we are surprised as we could not

differentiate the voice and were in a shock whether Ghantasala was

reborn for the purpose. We have gone to another world while listening

to those slokas.' Addressing the gathering China Jeeyar Swamy

announced, 'Gangadhar had decided to take only 10 per cent of the

profits from the sale of the Bhagavad Gita CDs and cassettes and the

remaining 90 per cent would go for charitable trusts and would be

utilised for the welfare of destitute children, old age people etc.'
