As I felt, I have seen many
things and I have observed that my Mother (Indira Maddali) and her father (Late
Javvaji Ranganadha Guptha and his father Kavi
kishora Javvaji Subbaraya Gupta, Founder of Deccan Vysya Patrika (Since
1937)) also my father (MVG Krishna Murthy) and his father Maddali Venkata Subba Rao (Trust board chairman for Podili Oldest
Siva Temple), by my remembering old memories.
Story
1:
Late Javvaji Ranganadha Guptha,
when he was a small kid around 6 to 8 years old age his father Kavi kishora
Javvaji Subbaraya Gupta took him to Gandhiji Uppu Satyagraha event in India.
And Subbaraya Gupta told to his
son Ranganadha Guptha to touch Gandhi’s feet but on that time every state people
and standing in huge crowd. Subbaraya Guptha has made signal to touch his feet.
So, this little kid didn’t
understand and watching his father body movements also by watching his father
face. But on the sudden the kid touched and fell on the Gandhi’s feet.
After that, Subbaraya Guptha made
a lot of sounds arrangements while going to home and said everyone in the
street / town to see - his little kid who touched the Gandhi’s feet.
After that his mother Late Javvaji Venkata Subba amma asked her
kid – Did you really touch Gandhi feet?
With the tiny small little crying face also tiny smile – he said I didn’t touch
- someone pushed me from back and I fallen on his feet. Everyone surprised also
started laughing J and kissing his tiny
little hands.
But after British left India,
one day Indian Rupee notes are publishing with Gandhi face on each and every
note on those days. So, my grandfather late Javvaji Ranganadha Guptha said he
seen Indian national father in my life and touched Mahatma Gandhi feet with my both
hands.

and presently no he is no more.
From there,
we traveled to
Ongole and meet my father’s elder sister and her daughters and her
daughter-in-law from Markapur. Her elder daughter came back from Kasi Tour.
Small
information about Kasi:

spiritual capital of India. Where Hindus believe that death at Varanasi brings good
sin. It has been mentioned in the Rigveda.

family tradition and culture regarding Kasi Tour:
According to my family culture
and traditions, the persons who visit Kasi tour and return back, everyone take
blessing from them for long live life and free from diseases and or treated as
gods for future in their family.
And greet them by giving new
cloths, apply turmeric powder to girls feet, Red kumkum powder on third eye
place with thumb for male and female and elders will discuss about - How they
spend the days in Kasi for 9 days or 15 days or 2 days sleep nights and their
spiritual experiences also pros and cons with financial budget, temple visits,
Ganga Ghats, climate conditions, Puja process, etc.
