"Knowing about life and contributions of great people of Telugu in different faculties like Literature, Movies, Music, Dance, Drama, Art etc"

The intention of starting this thread is to talk about all those great legends in Telugu, discussion on a topic (personality) can link another. Telugulo krushi chesina vallendaro peddalu vunaru..

Nadokka manavi, manam okkokkaroo oka mahaneeyuni gurinchi ikkada cheppali. deenivalla, valla gurinchi telusukunnattu untundi. antegaaka, telugu saahitya parichayam kooda avutundi.

Kalyani,
I join my hand with you!!
You made a good point and good discussion thread. But I dont know how our telugu ILites, are passive in this thread.

Lets start with vemana maha kavi.He wrote Vemana sathakam almost in 16th century.

Uppu kappurambu nokka polikanundu
Chooda chooda ruchula jaadaveru
Purushulandu punya purushulu veraya
Viswadabhi rama vinura vema

Great padyam it is......distinguishing among good and bad persons is like salt and camphor. The good justification made by hime.

Eventhough vemana is no more definitely all his poetry wil alive for somany centuries ahead.

Hi

i am telugu but not very fluent but although i didn't understand your poem, it seems nice.

take care

Hi Priya and Huma,

Welcome

Very happy to see that the discussion opened with a gem of Vemana.
Priya it is nice that you have given the meaning of the poem. I just want to add a point that there is no mapping between salt, camphor, good person and a bad person.
It is said to distinguish both.

Look at the clarity in the poem.. One more thing is the point is driven straight. Does not beat around the bush.

Here is one more : I will quote it now. and give the meaning in my next
mail.
chitta suddhi kaligi cesina punyambu
konchamaina nadiyu koduva kaadu
vittanambu maRri vRikshambunaku yenta
viswadaabhirama vinara vema

Btw, ee viswadaabhirama evaro telusa?

kalyani

I am giving the meaning of this poem posted by me earlier.
Huma, for your sake, I am giving translation in the first part, then switching over to telugu.

padaarthamu

chitta = mind, suddhi = clean, kaligi cesina = having done
punyambu = good (this refers to deeds)
konchamaina = even if it is little or small
nadiyu koduva kaadu = that is not insufficient
vittanambu = planting seeds
maRri vRikshambunaku = to get a banyan tree
yenta = how much (is needed) ?
viswadaabhirama vinara vema = Listen Oh Vemana!

Bhaavarthamu

With a clean mind, if one takes up a task, even it be small, it will be successful.
The banyan tree grows after all out of a tiny seed. Listen oh Vemana!

Ae pani che pettina, chinadaina sare, manasu petti cheste adi satphalitam avutundi.
Marri chepptuku vittanamu enta kavali? oka chinna vittanunchi vistaristundi. Oh Vemana vinuDu!

Analysis

In the first two lines the poet emphasizes the need to put one’s heart and soul to the task at hand. Be it however small, it is sure to see the success. In the next line Vemana gives an example of a banyan tree coming out of a tiny seed. By telling himself, he is instructing the mind.

Idi chala arthagarbhitamain padyam. Oka maatalo ante manasu petti chesina pani khachitamga saphalamavutundi. Ayite elanti pani cheyalo kooda cheptaadu sootiga – “punyambu” ane padamulo undi. Ante manchive cheyalani kooda teesukovachu.
Ippudu manchi ante tanaku parulaku kashtam kaliginchanavi ani teesukovalante (those deeds that do not harm others as well as oneself).

Ikkada viswadaabhirama ane padam meeda bhinnabhipraayaalu unnaayi. Kondaru idi tana guruvu perani, tanaku moksha darini choopinchina guruku ee moolakamga kritagnyatalu chepputunnadani antaaru. Inka kondaru viswada anedi oka sanegitte peru mari abhirama tana guruvu perani cheptaru. Velladdaru moolakaranam tana mukti pathaaniki ani iddari perlanu gurtuchesukuntaadu antaaru. ivi edi elagaina, mottaniki manasuku cheptunnadanna maata.


Mee opinion emo cheppandi.

telugulo yogi vemana ani oka cinema vachindi. ofcourse chaala old cinema. evaraina choosaara?
adi black and white cinema.



My 2 cents
kalyani

emo andaroo busy na deepaavali ani? priya ekkadunnaaru?

nene malli post chestunna. meerandaroo kooda unte baguntundi kada.

Anyway, some extra information about this thread- The intention is to talk about all those greats in Telugu, not just one but in different faculties: like literature, art, movies, direction, naatakaalu, music etc.

One may give link to other. As is done above, from vemana padyam to movie on vemana, which is a related one, in which chittor Nagayya has acted.

naaku telisi mari evaroo vemana gurinchi cinema teesinattu ledu. Nagayya baaga chesaru andulo.
ayana Bhakta potana, Tyagayya are famous. Tyagayya movie was again made with Somayajulu as protoganist. ayite emo naaku nagayyagari tyagayyane baagundi anipinchindi. Deepavali sandarbhamuga ee bhagavata padyam gurtuku techukovachu.

sri krishNa yadubhUshaNa naraskaha, sringaara ratnakara
lokadrohi narendra vamSa dahana lokeSwara
devataaneka brahmaNa-go-gaNaartiharana niravaaNa sandaayaka
neekun mrokkeda drumpave bavalatin nityaanukampaanidhi

Hi Kalyani,

Very nice explanation about vemana and the cinema taken on him.Its true as you said Chitoor Nagaiah garu,Vemana movie lo act chesi asalu Vemana ilage untaremo ane la aa patharaku jeevam posaru.

inka telugu saahithya naaku antha knowledge ledhu,vemana padhyalu,sumathi sathakam school nerchukunna gurthu ave inko thread lo post chesanu.kani telugu related yedhi ayina i am interested though my senior schooling and furthur studies had Hindi as my language option.

Wish to participate here actively.

Yes youare right latha. Nagiah garu chaala baaga natincharu. oka paata gurtunda - naa jyoti... baagundi. I felt it is a pun.

The padyam that I gave in my recent mail is from Potana Bhagavatam.
There is lot os samskritam in that. Only the last line 75% is telugu !
I suppose people can understand. If not let me know I will give the meaning here.
