మందర మకరందం mandara makarandam

మందరం There is translation of Bharatham into Telugu by Kavi Thrayam viz Nannaya, Thikkana and Errapragada. Pothana translated Bhagavatham into Telugu. There are many translations of Ramayanam into Telugu like Molla Ramayanam by Molla, Ranganatha Ramayanam by Gona BuddaReddy and Bhskara Ramayana by Bhaskarudu.But they are not true translations of valmiki Ramayanam and had deviations from the original.Vavikolanu Subbarao who was called as Vasu Dasu after he became a Vaishnava. He translated the 24000 slokas in Valmiki Ramayanam, sloka by sloka into Telugu.He later added a very comprehensive commentary and called his work as మందరం.it was very famous and every house hold in AP has a copy at that age. He was called Andhra Valmiki. Angalakuduru Asramam and SRM This was established by Subbadasu disciple of vasu dasu at angalakuduru near Tenali.SRM was staying there for about 15 years preferring to lead a frugal life denouncing all worldly pleasures. When he has gone there he was a leading lawyer earning lot of money, besides having30 acres of land and many houses. In the asram he was editing BHKTHA SANJEEVANI magazine published by the asramam. Asramam was publishing మందరం along with many other books written by Vasu Dasu. It so happened that the all the copies of the book were sold out and the asram was facing difficulty in publishing it. On SRMs advice they applied to TTD for financial help for reprint of the book. SVSR was in TTD at that time and helped to get Rs7000 for each kanda, a total of Rs 63000 for 9 kandas (which was maximum TTD could give). The book again went out of print in 1986. We again applied for assistance from TTD for reprint. They objected initially saying that they cannot give money for the same book twice. I was in TPT doing my M.Phil and was going round TTD editor’s office using SVSRs name.Finaly they released Rs 63000 again. మందర మకరందం Vanam Jwala Narasimharao was born in khammam district and at present he is CPRO to KCR, CM of Telangana.His father was a great devotee of Rama and was always reading మందరం. One of the neighbours of Narasimharao encouraged to simplify and write మందరం in sarala vachanam which he started and continued doing it in USA, where he was staying in his daughter’s house for 6 months. He called it as మందర మకరందం .six kandas are published and one kanda is coming as serial in ANDHRA BHOOMI s Sunday magazine. In one of my conservations with Sri Ramanuja Swami, the present guru of asram, he mentioned this and said that I can go collect the book which Naasimharao is giving for free.Narasimharao is staying in Srinagar colony which is very near to Begmpet and i went and met him, got the books by giving a small donation for reprint of the books. In the course of our conservation I mentioned about SRM and our family’s connection with asram.He has given the address and telephone number of asram in his serial in AndhraBhoomi. The serial is resulting in revival of interest on మందరం and asram was receiving many orders for the book, resulting again in shortage. When I told him this he was happy that he contributed for this. He rang up Ramanuja Swamy and told him that he will try for an amount of Rs 10, 00,000 from the government for the reprint. The story stands there at present

  MPR did great research on life of UYYALAWADA NARASIMHA REDDY which was recently pictured as SYERA staring CHIRANJEEVI.

its a pity that MPRs name was not mentioned anywhere

శేష ప్రశ్న? తుది జవాబు

ప్రస్థానం గమ్యం చేరేనా ?
నిశీధి దివస్సుగ మారేనా?
తమస్సు ఉషస్సును ప్రసవించేనా?
మరో నాకం మరోలోకం ప్రభవించేనా?

అల్లర్లు అలజడులు గడచినడచి
వడగళ్ళు కడగళ్ళు తడిచితరచి
ముష్కరమూకల కర్కశకేకలు వెరచిమరచి
జడివానల పసికూనలు
కనులు తెరచి ఒడలు విరిచి
బట్టకట్టి కట్టు కట్టి
కరం కలిపి భయం విడిచి
ఉద్వేగం రేగేనా? వేగంగా సాగేనా?

రారండి రారండి మీరంతా మారండి
మనమంతా జనమంతా జగమంతా చేరండి
భుజం చరిచి వెన్ను తట్టి 
దన్నుగా నిలిచి రొమ్ములు విరిచి
స్వాగతించి హారతిచ్చి పిలవండి కలవండి

ఊకదంచి రూకపంచి 
వరహాలనుదోచే వరాహాల బతుకురోత
కామాంధుల రాబందుల పీచమడచి ఊచకోత
అవినీతికి సమవర్తి
నిజాయితీ హృదయార్తి
దుర్నీతుల దుర్నేతల హాహాకారం హృదయంగమం
స్వేచ్ఛా విహంగ సమాగమం

కులం వద్దు కలం ముద్దు
మతం రద్ధు నభం హద్ధు
అకృత్యాల సుకృతాల జమాపద్దు

నవలోకం నవశకం జనగీతం జయధ్వానం
యువతరం నవతరం సులభతరం
లేద(నిర)భ్యంతరం శుభకరం.

Tryst with the entertainment industry


By now, most of you must have heard through the grapevine that I am a radio jockey. All of this started because my manager tasked my team with an MBO(Management by Objectives). Each of us had to spend at least 5% of our 40 hours a week - on something that was not job related. Obviously, I had to exceed expectations in a non-job-related task - so I set out to become an RJ. I finally did become one a while ago and am thoroughly enjoying it.

I have two shows and they are in two different languages - Hindi and Telugu, or should I say three, because - English.

The shows are as different as night and day.
1. Like I mentioned earlier, to start with, they are in two different languages.
2. In one I am joined by a Realtor. He is giving real estate advise to listeners while trying to get some new clients on air
3. The second is one where I go all out in Telugu. When I say all out, I mean all out. There is no particular theme to this one, which means no reining my creativity so to "speak" (see what I did there! :) ) I talk about the weather, traffic, politics and everything in between. I like to think of myself as the 'Hassan Minhaj' of Radio.
PS - If you do not know who Hassan Minhaj is or what the Patriot Act is - you have got to check them out on Netflix. The show is good, the guy puts in a lot of work and the opening score is amazing. I am an RJ now - so got to talk about music!
4. On both shows, I take calls on air. It is interesting to interact with people that you absolutely do not know at all! I just realized I defined being an extrovert, but there truly is something about sharing unnecessary details in a light environment. It also helps when listeners give you compliments like: 'Oh you take the pressure off of driving in traffic", "You have good taste in music", "I like your voice" - yes all of this is genuine feedback.

Being an RJ is refreshing because it is so different from everything else that I do daily. The people that I interact with - other fellow RJs etc., - come from different fields and have different perspectives. It has been a while now and we have new MBOs, but I think I will continue doing this for as long as I can - because honestly, I'm having fun :)
