ఎక్కడి మానుష జన్మం బెత్తిన ఫలమే మున్నది!

Annamacharya

ప|| ఎక్కడి మానుష జన్మం బెత్తిన ఫలమే మున్నది |
నిక్కము నిన్నే నమ్మితి నీ చిత్తంబికను ||
చ|| మరవను ఆహారంబును మరవను సంసార సుఖము |
మరవను యింద్రియ భోగము మాధవ నీ మాయ ||

A Letter from Somebody I “Loved” (For Yandamuri Fans)

A coherent arrangement of words for abstract, but cogent thoughts is what touches us. It doesn’t matter if the central idea is about life and love; or death and sorrow – the language can still touch our hearts. That is the power of language – possibly any language. The language for romance and love, some [...]

Sri Sitarama Kalyanam Commentary from 1986

Sri SitaRama Lakshamanulu

Sri SitaRama Kalyanam

Today is Sri Rama Navami, nostalgy drives me to remember how we  would celebrate it back home.Typically listening to the Kalyanam on  AIR was the biggest part.
Ushasri as most of you know was involved in the live moderation of the  commentary for several years, Ushasri.org were kind enough to upload  the audio of [...]

Maha Mrutyunjaya Mantram

Mrutyunjaya Maha Mantram
When a fruit is cut from a plant, a drop or two of the sap is released from the cut stem. However when a ripe fruit drops from the tree, there is no sap released, the fruit renders itself for others to enjoy itself and voluntarily detaches itself from the tree.
This is the essence of [...]

Disgraceful Alterations to K.V. Ranga Reddy’s Autobiography

Mallik Garu sent me Chapters 22 and 23 of Late Sri K. V. Ranga Reddy’s recently published autobiography in English. As soon as I read the excerpts, I could not resist but write this quick note. Here is another classic case of hate-mongering being indulged by the separatists.
K.V. Ranga Reddy was the first Deputy Chief [...]

సామద పుష్పంద యద ఝంకారములు కావు- Sahityam

Wanted to share this beautiful poem , please comment on the meaning of the poem
and the audience.

సామద పుష్పంద యద ఝంకారములు కావు
భీష కుమ్భేంద్ర  బృంహితములు
వాయువునిర్గత పద్మ వరనేవులు కావు
తురవ నికరము తో ధుత్రజనము
లాకీర్ణ జల తరంగ సరములు కావు
ఆహాత్రు ధనుర్ముఖ్త శత్రు కమల కలహాల
కుసుమ కన్య నీవేద రానా రంగమున
మెడ వొట్టు వేగము వలదు  వలదు

What does Venkateswara mean?

There are several names to the “Kaliyuga” daivam like “Narayana“,”Govinda” and so on but what does “Venkateswara” mean?

Why the name Sundara Kanda

Why was this chapter in the “Ramayanam” named Sundara Kanda while the rest of the chapters  like Bala Kanda, Ayodhya Kanda,Aranya Kanda,Kishkindha Kanda, Yuddha Kanda and Uttara Kanda were self explanatory.
