Literature encompasses various forms of self expression. And the greatness of Telugu literature is shown by the fact that of all the statues that are stationed on Tank Bund of the Andhra Pradesh capital, Hyderabad, most people are from this cult. (A detailed report would follow later).
Of all the art forms, literature is the one that bestows immortality to people, who, otherwise, would have been ignored by history. Famous philosophers, thinkers, scientists, warriors, kings, emperors, and many others are known down the generations due to their mention being made in some piece of poetry, prose or other form of literature. Great men of wisdom immortalized their thoughts through teachings that were penned down by their disciples or followers. Literature paves the way to knowledge of history and is one of the major sources to delve into the past.
This site shall introduce you to the world of Telugu excellence in various literary fields. Various sections like Poetry (kavitaa saahityam) that comprises of ancient poetry (prachina kavitvam) and modern poetry (adhunika kavitvam); Prose (vachana saahityam) that comprises of Short Stories (kathaa saahityam), Novels (navalaa saahityam); Devotional Poetry and Prose (bhakti saahityam); Cinema-based work (sinee saahityam); Knowledge pills (Sataka saahityam); Spiritual Work (Aadhyaatmika saahityam); and finally Personality Development Work (vyaktitva vikaasa saahityam) that is in vogue at present.
Certain great pieces of work will be cited as examples (with small excerpts from the work) of the excellence that a few immortals achieved and where the size of the work does not permit such adventure, a recommendation will be made with the availability of such work.
Any authentic information that the readers would like to share will also be published depending on the merits of such contribution. Such information may be mailed to: satish_1972@yahoo.com.
This colossal work may take a long time to complete and also would be an ongoing process. The objective of this site is to be a reference work for all Telugu literature enthusiasts.
Jai Telugu Talli!
