LET POETRY BE GLORIOUS AND VICTORIOUS
उदयन्तु शतादित्या: उदयन्त्विन्दव: शतम्
न विना कविवाक्येन नश्यत्याभ्यन्तरं तम:
Let a hundred suns dawn. Let
a hundred moons dawn. But the darkness in the form of ignorance hidden in the
inner hearts of
human beings is dispelled by the words of poets
alone. Such is the power hidden in the words of a poet. While describing the
power of the words of poets
Byron speaks.
But words are things and a small drop of ink
Falling, like dew upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions think.
(Don Juan, canto III, st.88.
There is a charm in
poetry. It is the poetic spirit that penetrates the heart. Such poetry lifts
the heart, elevates the mind, takes the soul to higher and higher regions
inspiring it, energizing it, putting a new message and determination in it.
Coming to the present,
the poetry of Sri Volety NarasimhaRao is endowed with all these
characteristics. He is not only a poet but also a homeopathic physician and
above all a great humanist.
He is a person who
writes to uplift society with his sublime thoughts. But not for name and fame.
Every line of his work
speaks of his clarity of thought. He is a writer having fore - sight far- sight
as well as in-sight.
It is well known that
the clan of Voleti is known for scholarship and creative writing. Sri voleti
Parvateesham and Balantrapu Venkata Rao jointly produced a great deal of
literature in Andhradesa. They are prominently known as Venkataparvateesha
kavulu. Their literature is not only luminous but also voluminous. Inheriting
the poetic talent of his predecessor’s Sri Narasimha Rao composed many poems in
three languages. We normally come across people who know three or more
languages but rarely come across those who compose poetry in three languages.
Sri narasimharao is one of those exemplary personalities who authored many
literary gems in English, Hindi, and Telugu. Creole,
earn while learn, work is worship etc. are his writings.
In “Earn While Learn “he
advises everyone to earn discipline and moral values for individual, familial, societal,
and national development.
In the poetry “work is worship”
he describes work as very essential in making life very progressive and
purposeful. He went to the extent of saying that work is love, work is wine,
and work is Bouquet.
In the poem “Credle “he
describes the unnecessary aspirations in human life throughout every stage and
suggestively advises us to serve the saints i.e., the enlightened people for
redemption of worldly entanglements. Many more literary pieces are to his
credit. Thet are left to the imagination of the readers. Normally it is said
that the nature of a writer is expressed through his writings. We can estimate
the noble qualities of the writer through this poetry.
I am sure that more
literary gems will roll out of his pen in future, let the poetry of Dr. V. NarasimDarao
be glorious and victorious.
