Telugu Literature at the hands of King Krishnadeva Raya

Telugu Literature at the 
hands of King Krishnadeva Raya of Vijayanagar.



DAMODHAR RAO MUSHAM AT 

STATUE OF SRIKRISHNADEVARAYA


Everyone knows the great patronage enjoyed under them. The prabandha style which owed its origin to Somana and Srinatha was perfected by Allasani Peddana the 

court-poet of Krishnadevaraya. Besides Peddana, his court contained a galaxy of 
Telugu Poets, known as the Astadiggajas among whom were included such 
great men as Mukku Timmana, Tenali Ramakrishna, Pingali Surana and 
Dhurjati. Each of these endowed Telugu Poetry with a new individuality. 
Until the latter part of the last century, the prabandha style reigned supreme. 
The period of the Nayak Kings of Tanjore, was in splendour and richness of 
output, the immediate corollary of the period of Krishnadevaraya at Vijayanagar. 
The Mahratta Rajas succeeded both to the throne and the tradition of the 
Nayak Kings. They continued their patronage to Telugu Poets, besides some 
of them being themselves poets of a high order. Thus the Tanjore Telugu 
Manuscripts represent a collection, unique in its richness and variety, gathered 
together during the three centuries 1500 A. D. to 1800 A. D. under the royal 
patronage of two dynasties, the Telugu Nayaks and the Mahratta Rajas. 

Kakatiya help to Tanjore Rulers

Kakatiya help to Tanjore Rulers

Many centuries ago, 300 families were sent from the present day Andhra Region to Hyderabad State. Before the end of the Kakatiya Empire, there were incessant attacks on the Empire from the Muslims. The culture and the warfare of the Muslims were new to the Kakatiya rulers. To counter the Islamic invasion at the request of the rulers, a team of 300 top strategists and warriors was sent from Tanjore by the rulers of Kakatiya, who had won a recent victory. These 300 men, known as "Samsthanams," and their families moved to Kakatiya Empire and were absorbed into the society.
After the fall of the Kakatiya Empire, the Samsthanams with them mostly in and around present day Warangal. They became powerful generals in the Army, administrators in several kingdoms, small business owners, small and large landowners, and politicians and had representation in all streams of society. Before 1947 they were in the forefront of the Aryasamaj Movement in independent India.

The Nayak Kings of Tanjore (1535 A. D. to 1670. 
A. D.) as well as their successors, the Maratha rulers of Tanjore 1673 A. D 
to 1832 A.D. were all patrons of learning besides some of them being
distinguished scholars themselves. It may be said that this collector 
represents the Southern School of Telugu Literature. The special distinction 
of this school is its originality in the production of song and drama known as 
Yakshagana. The crude Telugu drama the street play was given a literary 
status and brought on to the royal stage in the reign of Raghunatha Nayak 
and his son Vijayaraghava. A perusal of these will at once convince the 
reader that they are more original in composition and more artistic in 
representation than the present-day stage dramas which are more often 
imitations of the Sanskrit or the English Drama. Besides these Yakshagana 
there are also copies of standard Telugu works as the Mahabharata, 
Ramayanamu, Bhagavatamu and other Puranas and Kavyas. Of the Kavya 
literature some are of the Dvipada type and are not available elsewhere.

Mooru Rayara Ganda,King of three kings

Śrī Krishna Devarāya (Tulu: ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣದೇವರಾಯ, Kannada: ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣದೇವರಾಯ, Telugu:శ్రీ కృష్ణ దేవరాయులు) also known as Krishna Rai in some inscriptions was the famed Emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire who reigned from 1509 - 1529 CE.He is the third ruler of the Tuluva Dynasty. Presiding over the empire at its zenith, he is regarded as an icon by many Indians. Emperor Krishna Deva Raya earned the titles Kannada Rajya Rama Ramana (ಕನ್ನಡರಾಜ್ಯರಮಾರಮಣ),

) and Andhra Bhoja (ఆంధ్రభోజ).
Krishna Deva Raya was one of the greatest statesmen which medieval South India had produced. Especially for Telugu people he will remain forever in their hearts as the greatest king ever to rule the Āndhradeśa(Telugu land) as his period is considered as Swarnayuga (Golden period or Zenith) in the cultural and literary history of Telugus. Much information about his reign comes from the accounts of Portuguese travelers Domingo Paes and Fernao Nuniz. Krishna Deva Raya benefited from the able prime minister Timmarusu, who was regarded by the emperor as a father figure and was responsible for his coronation. Krishna Deva Raya was the son of Nagala Devi and Tuluva Narasa Nayaka, an army commander under Saluva Narasimha Deva Raya, who later took control of the empire to prevent its disintegration and became the founder of the Tuluva Dynasty, the third Hindu Dynasty to rule Vijayanagara. The emperor's coronation took place on the birthday of Hindu God Krishna, and his earliest inscription is from July 26, 1509 CE. He built a beautiful suburb near Vijayanagara called Nagalapura in memory of his mother, Nagala.

World Telugu Writers Conference begins

World Telugu Writers Conference begins in Vijayawada

Vijayawada: The second World Telugu Writers Conference began here on Saturday with writers, poets, teachers, artists and representatives of various publications, including media, greeting one another and pressing for proper implementation of Telugu as official language in the State.
Well-known poet and Jnanpith Awardee, Dr C Narayana Reddy, formally inaugurated the three-day convention emphasising the need to protect the language and culture. He regretted that the language is being neglected by the government on one side and the educational institutions on the other. 

He recalled an incident where a student was humiliated by the class teacher for speaking Telugu and expressed concern over the increasing obsession for foreign languages, particularly English. He also said the influence of Western countries was more on Telugu people than others in the country.

He took exception to the neglect of implementation of Telugu as official language in the State. He said the government had failed to promote the Official Language Committee on par with other bodies of the government. He regretted that the use of Telugu in government offices was not satisfactory and favoured better patronage. 

Eenadu Group chairman Ch Ramoji Rao, who was the chief guest, felt that the language should serve the socio-economic requirements of the people. The language should be useful in education, communication and employment for the people to promote it.

He said that the governments of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Maharashtra had taken steps to promote and protect their respective languages, while Andhra Pradesh was turning into ‘Angla’ (English) Pradesh. Even countries like China, France and Germany give importance to their mother tongue rather than English and still they have proved their mark. He wanted Telugu people to have similar love for their language so as to keep it alive. 

He also favoured some research work to find new Telugu words for scientific names.Industrialist KE Varaprasada Reddy wanted the writers and poets to rise up to the demands of the younger generation. Stating that the English fiction, Harry Potter, had become the hottest story book for children and the young, he wanted the Telugu writers and poets to come up with such books for the younger generation.

Andhra Jyothi editor K Srinivas wanted a panel to keep adding and developing new words like the English who update their dictionary with new words.

Writer Ms Malathi Chandoor said that the language would get patronised only if the rulers had love for it. She cited the steps taken by the Tamil Nadu government to protect and promote the Tamil language and wanted similar leadership. She asked the organisers to make the government understand the importance of the language and initiate steps to protect and promote it.

The three-day conference is organised by Krishna District Writers Association, whose president Mandali Buddha Prasad is the organising committee chairman.

Rayalu tableau wins first place

Rayalu tableau wins first place

The artistic depiction of the glory and richness of Telugu language and culture present during the rule of Sri Krishnadevaraya and the pomp and splendour of his coronation fete won accolades not only from the people who came to witness the 64th Independence Day celebrations at Parade Grounds in Secunderabad but also from the jury which ajudged it as the best tableau. This tableau depicted the darbar held by Krishnadevaraya and his eight jewels (poets) as well as dance performances in the royal court.

no to Mummy-Daddy culture

Traditional touch: Women ‘nadaswaram’ artistes welcoming Finance Minister K. Rosaiah and others at the inauguration of the 8th biennial conference of the World Telugu Federation

Urgent need to preserve Telugu language and culture for posterity, he says

The three-day 8th biennial conference of World Telugu Federation (WTF) began on a grand and colourful note at V.R. Siddhartha College of Engineering here on Friday.

The conference gave a clarion call to protect Telugu tradition and culture, Telugu language and its aesthetic and spiritual richness.

Inaugurating the conference, Finance Minister K. Rosaiah said: “Let us stop admiration of foreign lifestyle. And, say no to Mummy-Daddy culture.”

Vicious circle

It was unfortunate to note that parents often reproach children for addressing them as amma (mother) and nanna (father). Now, people in cities were accustomed to fast life. And, they don’t even know our customs, traditions and festivals like Sankranti, he said, adding: “We need to come out of this vicious circle and preserve the language and culture for posterity.”

The State government constituted a committee to study the problems of Telugus settled in other states.

The committee had already toured some states. Necessary steps would be taken to sort out the issues, he said, adding that the government, at regular intervals, would initiate dialogue with other states to address the problems of Telugus.

Promotion of arts

Earlier, WTF founder P. Jenguswami Naidu pointed out that Telugus who settled in Tamil Nadu were facing hardship like lack of Telugu medium schools.

He urged the State government to intervene and prevail upon the Tamil Nadu Government to fulfil the constitutional obligation that schools should be opened for linguistic minorities.

Culture, Information and Public Relations Minister A. Ramnarayana Reddy said that the government was taking all possible steps like conducting ‘Palnati Utsavam’, ‘Godavari Utsavalu’ to preserve and propagate the Telugu language and culture.

The government, to promote arts, was constructing mini Ravindra Bharati in every district.

While six were already in place, four more would be constructed during this year.

The government was providing Rs. 500 per month as pension to about 10,000 veteran artistes in the State, he added.

WTF president V.L. Indira Dutt said that the federation was ready to start Telugu Samskritika Niketan, a place for Telugu history, culture and tradition, atop Kailasagiri in Visakhapatnam.

Felicitated

Earlier, freedom fighter Parakala Pattabhi Rama Rao and Akasavani artiste Gayatri Sankar were felicitated with the Yarlagadda Prabhavati and Sambhu Prasadula Smaraka Puraskaram.

The WTF felicitated journalist T. Kutumba Rao, cine actor Murali Mohan, art director Thota Tarani, social worker Kanumuri Annapurnamma and stage artiste Karnati Lakshmi Narsaiah.

“This year we also launched Discovery Turbo, Discovery Science and Discovery HD World. So we have six unique portfolios,” said Bakshi adding that the network is a leader in non-fiction entertainment.  Discovery Channel which reaches over 53 million subscribers launched its Hindi and Tamil feed in 1998 and 2010 respectively.
