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.

Story 2:

My father (MVG Krishna Murthy) and his father late Maddali Venkata Subba Rao who is the Trust board chairman for Podili Oldest Siva Temple, remembering old memories.

 late Maddali Venkata Subba Rao, his wife Late Maddali Ravanamma 

On olden days, In Vijayawada - you find book writers and in Nellore - you find magazine Writers, Newspapers writers in each and every street.

So, there was a huge importance to Hindu temples and visitors for:
  • Sri Ranganthaswami Temple,
  • Jonnawada kamakshamma Temple,
  • Narasimha konda Temple,
  • Sri Annapurna Sametha Kashivishwanatha Swamy Vari Devasthanamu


On those days, you will find Tamil and Telugu people living together in this Nellore place.

No Traffic rules like challans, clear and clean roads, No car and bike horns, very peaceful area, same as the olden days dressing style like white dress and white dhoti,  Nellore handmade saree, etc, and also.....

/

I have visited a very oldest Nellore District Central Library to know more about:

  • Great legend Potti Sreeramulu - Indian revolutionary who done fasting for a separate state for Telugu speaking people


  • Who are the writers on those days – did their families are living, are they alive?

Yes, there are 51 writers presently on those days from olden book of Nellore History.

  • Kavi kishora Javvaji Subbaraya Gupta, Founder of Deccan Vysya Patrika (Since 1937) also best family friend of Potti Sreeramulu from childhood days


  • Are there any female writers on those days?

Yes, there are two female writers – one is from Chennai (Madras) and one is from Nellore (presently her family living in foreign country)

  • One of my father classmate also friend who was a head of this particular library and worked for certain years 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:
  • Varanasi or Kasi is the spiritual capital of India. Where Hindus believe that death at Varanasi brings good sin. It has been mentioned in the Rigveda.

My 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.

Note,

I will post my pictures regarding this tour event in my Google plus, were you can watch it.

Thank you for reading!
