M essage to group members

[Guest guest]

Dear learned friends of TBP,

 

My heart full pranams.

 

I am happy and proud to go through the messages of our

members on Bhakthi, spiritual and devotion etc.

Almost all CHINNA KATHALU are very impressive and moral

orientated.

 

I was a 'Pravasa Andhra' for some decades. Perhaps that

might be the reason to have good interest in Telugu Literature.

All these days, I am enjoying the messages of our group

members. I could not share with them of my little spiritual

knowledge due to lack of time. Henceforth I will also make

every effort to share.

 

We all vow much to WEB for introducing this Bhakthi

pages and also naming the same as TELUGU. Our respects

to Sri Raghava Rao Garu for his inundate support and also

to other literary members.

 

In the languages Telugu is considered to be the sweetest of all

and our old emperor Shri Krishnadevaraya said " Desa bhasalandu

Telugu Lessa " . Of course, he was the sarvabhouma of Andhra.

Of the South Indian languages, Tamil is the ancient one and

Thiruvalluvar happened to be the great scholar. In his Thrukkural

he mentioned " Kili Telungu " that is ' Parrot Telugu ' which means

" Chiluka Paluku "

 

Bhakthi is more described in our epics. When we think of epics,

the first we recollect is ' Sri Bhagavatham ' by Sri Bammena

Pothanamathya. We will discuss Bhagavatham in detail in due

course. Bhakthi and devotion are always selfless, free from ego.

 

Pothana while delivering the great Bhagavatham to us did not say

that he was the author. One should always remember the

beginning of Bhagavatha that is:-

Palikedidi Bhagavathamata

Palikinchedu vadu Ramabhadrundata..

One can understand the riped and devoted bhakthi of Pothana.

He left everything to God and declared himself as a tool in delivering

a great epic. This is the reason that none had the courage to

enter into any criticism in this epic as is done in other epics.

 

So let us all strive to attain Bhakthi from God recollect the

principles

of our great old literates and put the same in front of same minded

persons and enjoy the fruit of BHAKTHI.
