Sri Gurubhyo Namah: Sri Maatre Namah Sri Mahaganapathaye namah: Sri Gurubhyo namah: Sri Maatre namah: yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata abhyutthānam adharmasya tadātmānaṁ sṛijāmyaham Sri Vaddiparti Padmakar : Avadhana Sahasra Padma: As Lord Krishna said in bhagavad gita, whenever there is decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, the lord avataras come to uphold it. The Lord in many forms as gurus, spiritual leaders and speakers lead people in right direction. One the foremost among those gurus is, Brahmasri Vaddiparti Padmakar Gurudev: supreme devotee of Devi, Sahasravadhani in 3 languages, Sripranava peetadhipathi. Gurudev was born to knowledgeable, righteous and famous parents Brahmasri Chalapatirao garu and Srimati Sheshamani garu, in the holy margasira month on a holy day in the brahmi muhurta in year 1966 on Jan1. Jogannapalem in godavari zilla was Gurudev birthplace. Father is pandit in 8 languages and mother is very proficient in sanskrit, hindi languages. With sanchita jnanam and blessings from Devi Saraswati and Srimata Gurudev finished schooling in Ganapavaram. At the age of 3years Gurudev was able to grasp our history and encyclopedism was the gift. At the age of 8 years, Gurudev developed meditation and concentration power with the divine blessing of Srisailam Parvathi Parameshwara, Kumara, Vigneshwara, Vasuki and blessings from Mata Annapurna devi,. Just at the age of 16 years Gurudev grasped the essence of lacs of mahabharata slokas. He continued to graduate with an M.A. in Sanskrit and Hindi languages, a gold medal due the proficiency in the languages, and another gold medal between contesters of all gold medalists from other Universities. Gurudev’s first lecture on Sundarakanda part of Valmiki Ramayana was at the age of 20yrs in a village Ardhavaram 8Kms from Ganapavaram. From then on, his lectures grew leaps and bounds, with the ability to lecture on full bhagavatam without a book, the only one sahasravadhani. 1992 Dec 8th with the talk of Kadimilla Varaprasad started his Avadhanam. That avadhanam culminated in just one hour was the significance of Gurudev. March 14th 1993 Sunday evening in Nidamarru started first vedika-avadhanam. Prominent news papers like “Eenadu”, “Andhra Jyothi” wrote highly of this avadhanam. In just 85mins culmination was a record. Could orate at the rate of 50 slokas an hour, in 2hours 108 slokas was the Ashukavitha (instant poetry) presentation skill of Gurudev. Similarly in one and half year finished about 80 Ashtavadhanas which was also a record. 1995 August was first sata (100) avadhanam, which lasted for 2days in just 65minutes orated 81slokas. His thirst sata(100) avadhanam was in 3 languages Sanskrit, Andhra, Hindi languages. This was the very first experiment. In the history of avadhanam one of very particular importance is the one in year 2000 which was in 3 languages telugu, hindi and sanskrit at the same time, Gurudev was only 3 language maha sahasra (1000) avadhani. After entering in avadhana arena, did multiple ashta(8) avadhanam’s , 8 joint avadhanam’s , 11 sata(100) avadhanam’s , 1 tri-language maha sahasravadhanam, doing 3 hindi avadhanams is the feather in his cap. Orated 756 slokas at a stretch in 3hours 27minutes as the only sahasra (1000) avadhani. Including lectures on puranas, sahistya, related to avadhanams starting year 2006 travelled to main cities of America, singapore, and Dubai. On the evening of Sunday 14th of March 1993 the first Vedic Avadhanam Started in a place called Nidamarru. Famous daily news papers like “Eenadu”, “Andhra Jyothi” wrote very high of the event and extolled the details in great length. One of the most prominent thing that happened in this event was that the entire program was completed in 85 mins and out of which for the actual Avadhanam only 45 min were allocated. This in itself was a record. In another event called ( Asukavita ) Guruji was able to dictate around 108 poems extempore in a span of 2 hrs this was another record. Guruji completed over 80 of Astha Avadhanams ( 8 participants working with the speaker asking various intricate and delicate questions, sometimes nonsensical statements from which the speaker is required to come up with a beautiful poem or meaning of the nonsensical thing etc ) in a timeframe of 18 months which also was a record. In the year 1995 the very first Shata Avadhanam ( 100 participants working from various angles ) was conducted which spanned for two days in which in about 65 min Guruji was able to retain and recollect about 81 poems that were given at the spur of the moment with no preparation. In the village TadepalliGudem the third Shata Avadhanam in all the three languages ( Telugu, Sanskrit and Hindi ) was conducted and completed in a grandiose manner which was a the very first attempt for anyone to do. Guruji must tell about this next event which is in its own league and this indeed is a golden chapter in all of the Avadhanams conducted. In the year 2000 the Tri Language Maha Shahasra Avadhanam was conducted ( 1000 participants with Telugu, Hindi and Sanskrit as the languages chosen ) at the same time due to which Guruji was conferred with the title of “ Tribasha Maha Shasravadhani”.In this format over period of 3 hrs and 27 min, Guruji was able to comprehend and retain over 756 poems this feat in itself was a great accomplishment. In this event many a prominent people participated the then Sri Prasadaraya Kulapati garu who is the current Kurtalam Peetam chair, Sri Viswayogi Viswamji garu, Sri Rallabandi Kavita Prasad garu, Sri Medasani Mohan garu and Sri Jonnavittula garu. It was at this time Sri Jonnavittula garu conferred a title on me called “DharanaChitragupta”. In a matter of 11 yrs since Guruji started on this journey, Guruji was victorious in many of the events ( Avadhanams, 8 Twin Avadhanams, 11 Shata Avadhanams, 1 Tribasha Maha Sahasravadhanam and 3 Avadhanams in Hindi ). Guruji was humbled by the virtue of Glory that divine mother has blessed up on me and made me an instrument in being victorious in these deeds. Even the Corona epidemic could not stop his glorious will and reluctant initiation. That is why on the 6th of February in the year 2021, Sri Pranava Peetham initiated discussions on the internet with the aspirants in the country and abroad. It was attended by 9 aspirants from India, USA and Australia. Usually there are 8 topics in Ashtavadhanam. But additional 9th topic was also added and performed NAVAVADHANAM. This is something unusual and very special. In the Yajna of making modern-day observances, they encouraged their fellow disciples, Sri Paladugu Sri Charan Garu, an American, and Sri Tatavarthi Kalyan Chakravarti, an Australian resident, to become famous avadhanas. Of these, Sri Tatavarthi Kalyan Chakravarti was the first Australian avadhani. As part of the process of making the Avadhanis in next generation paid attention to them, also trained 9-year-old Ahala Somayaju and gave her the opportunity to participate as an aspirant in Sri Charan Gari's Avadhanam’s topic Vagananam on May 8, 2021, as their moderator on the Internet. The determination to continue the series of attention with the aspirants of avadhana parampara the respective countries in the Seven Continents internationally on the Internet. Part of this great event is to encourage literary fans in the country and abroad to become enthusiastic and attentive. Expanding the splendor and attention span of the Andhra language across the continents and providing the desired training to the enthusiasts and literary lovers. The beginning of activities such as making them motivated is to create a new trend in the history of Telugu literature. As a part of this, the first focus was on the 29th of May on the laying of the foundation stone for the "Vaddiparthi Sarva Desha Avadhana Yajna" with 8 aspirants in Australia who have recognized Telugu as their social language in the world. This is the 1231st Ashtavadhanam of Gurudeva. Completing it in just under an hour and a half with unparalleled speed is unparalleled and unique. New Zealand's 1232nd ashtavadhanam on June 26, 2021 over Internet, as well as the attention being paid to South African Pruchchakaas in July. Gurudev's devotion to his mother tongue and his immense admiration for literary service are evident in his efforts to spread eloquent literary literature in other countries, such as London, Singapore, Dubai, Malaysia, America, and many more. The path of attention they choose in the literary service contributes to the development of personality and resilience in man, and further multifaceted benefits. It is a great penance of our Gurudeva to make such a treasure trove available to tens of thousands of people, regardless of age, to literary lovers and fans abroad. Let us pray that this literary fragrance will be spread all over the world, that it will be an ideal for all, that the Telugu mother will be overjoyed, and that we will all be sanctified in the service of that mother. With thousands of devotees did pada yatra to important kshetras like dwaraka tirumala, vijayawada kanka durga temples etc. With his meditation power initiated more than lacs of people into spiritual path with mantropadesham. As of today conducted 326 bhagavata saptahams in all corners of the country in main religious places liks Sukasthal, Vrindavan, Naimisharanya, Kashi, Puri Jaganath etc. In Vidhyachala conducted Devi Bhagavata navaha lectures. Fruits of his wisdom writing are books like, Ishwarya Yogam, Venkateshwara Vilasam, “Maa”nava katha, Sri Satya Sai Saptasati, Sri Neelakanteshwara satakam, kalakinkinulu, hanumat mahima (still in printing) 750 sloka portion poetry, also more stories, essays and recent request from Gita press Gorakhpur to traslate of Sri Garuda puranam into Telugu language.

  • Embellishments Turned Into Challenges. the Transformation of Literary Devices in the Art of the Sāhityāvadhāna*
    Cracow Indological Studies Vol. XXII, No. 2 (2020), pp. 127–149 https://doi.org/10.12797/CIS.22.2020.02.07 Hermina Cielas [email protected] (Jagiellonian University, Poland) Embellishments Turned into Challenges. The Transformation of Literary Devices in the Art of the sāhityāvadhāna* SUMMARY: The article focuses on the centuries-old Indian practice of the sāhityāvadhāna, ‘the literary art of attentiveness’, a sub-genre of the avadhāna (‘attention’, ‘attentiveness’), in which extraordinary memory, ability to concen- trate and creative skills are tested through the realisation of various challenges. Numerous tasks within the sāhityāvadhāna have their roots in the theory of lit- erature and poetic embellishments (mostly the so-called śabdā laṅkāras, fig- ures of sound or expression) described by Sanskrit theoreticians. A survey of such devices as niyama, samasyā, datta and vyutkrāntā and their application in the sāhityāvadhāna shows possible re-adjustments of figures of speech brought about by the requirements of practical implementation in the literary performative art. KEYWORDS: avadhāna, sāhityāvadhāna, figures of speech, literary games, performing arts. * This paper is a part of the project Avadhana. Historical and social dimension of the Indian ‘art of memory’ (registration number 2018/28/C/HS2/00415) developed by the author and financed by the National Science Centre (NCN), Poland. 128 Hermina Cielas Introduction Through the centuries of its existence and transformations, the avadhāna (‘attention’, ‘attentiveness’, ‘intentness’) developed into a rich con- glomerate of arts situated in the domain of liminoid cultural perfor- mances encompassing acts of showcasing highly developed cognitive capacities put to test in the form of miscellaneous tasks accomplished in the presence of other people.1 It embodies the idea of heterogene- ity.

  • The Eightfold Gymnastics of Mind: a Preliminary Report on the Idea and Tradition of Asfâvadhâna
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Cracow Indological Studies Provided by Jagiellonian Univeristy Repository vol. XIV (2012) Lidia Sudyka & Cezary Galewicz (Jagiellonian University, Kraków) The eightfold gymnastics of mind: a preliminary report on the idea and tradition of asfâvadhâna SUMMARY: The present paper stems from a field study initiated in 2006-2008 in Kar­ nataka and Andhra Pradesh. It aims at drawing a preliminary image of the hitherto unstudied art of avadhâna (Skt.: ‘attentivness, concentration’) of which astâvadhâna (literally: eightfold concentration) seems to be a better known variety. The paper presents a selection of epigraphic and literary evidence thereof and sketches a histori­ cal and social background of avadhâna to go with a report on the present position of its tradition of performance as well as prevailing set of rules. KEYWORDS: literary cultures, performing arts, asfâvadhâna, avadhâna, intellectual literary games, Kâmasütra, kavigosthi Foreword (by Cezary Galewicz) Rather than an outcome of a completed project, this presentation is meant to be an introduction into a presumably new research area situated on the crossroads of literary studies and social anthropology.

To our best knowledge, the living art and tradition of avadhâna have remained 170 Lidia Sudyka & Cezary Galewicz so far outside the focus of academic attention.

It addresses also a more gen­ eral problem of how to do field research and how to describe living or revived performing traditions within literary cultures of South Asia.
