Why cant Telugu be common man language

WE have to learn from this NEWS for teaching TELUGU,and implement,

The first course will be on how to write simple sentences, but I could teach
much more advanced courses. Then we could have a steady stream of students
reading the philosophy, culture of India in the original form.


What do you think of the quality of local students?


It's very discouraging. At the JNU, we used to get 180,000 applicants for a
mere 30 seats in our MCA (Masters in Computer Applications) program. We used
to get the best brains in the country; they were ahead of their teachers. It
was a real pleasure to teach them.


Are people in India taking interest in Sanskrit?


I believe so. Jewish scholars have helped revive Hebrew, which was almost
dying, so why not Sanskrit in which we have all our original texts? Our
tutor is a little lamp for Sanskrit and its aim is to provide a leisurely
introduction to the language.

Chinese learn Bhagavatgita in Canada

If you want to enjoy the Indian culture, if you want to enjoy the Bhagavad
Gita then you must know Sanskrit. You should be able to read the original
scripture, original texts and documents to enjoy them. Today I am in a happy
position to read the Gita and Ramayana [
It gives me so much pleasure; I thought this should be communicated.
What are the results of your efforts to teach Sanskrit through the
Internet?
Over 12,000 people have downloaded Sanskrita-Pradipika. I get calls all the
time from people across the world who would like to learn Sanskrit on the
Internet.
IF  a Chinese student, Maureen Chiang, who has been learning from me for
over two years. She can now recite shlokas beautifully. Twice a week, we
connect on Skype and spend three hours on it. I have students from Germany 
two students from India, all learning Sanskrit on the Internet.
Toronto University used to have Sanskrit classes, but they were
discontinued. Do you believe there will be interest in the classes now?
I believe there will be interest, as I make Sanskrit so much easier and fun
for students; the tutorial is user friendly. We have gone to a couple of
Hindu temples here and sought help from the priests to make announcements
about the classes.

SanskritaPradipika in e-tutorial

WE have to learn from this NEWS for teaching TELUGU,and implement,

SanskritaPradipika in e-tutorial. The idea was to make Sanskrit easier
for even people who don't know an alphabet of the Devanagari script. One of
my JNU students, Jayant Shekhar, who is now an associate professor, computer
science, at Vivekananda University, Meerut, helped me write the tutorial. It
took us almost four years, 12 hours a day without a break, to write the
program. But it doesn't have the pronunciation.


I thought we could use the principles of Sanskrit grammar to devise a new
computer programming language, but that initiative didn't proceed the way I
had hoped it would. Since we had learnt so much of Sanskrit, we thought why
not write a tutorial to teach it.

Sanskrit lessons given in TORONTO

Dr Sudhir Kaicker, former professor, computer science, in the Jawaharlal
Nehru came to Toronto's Sheridan College to continue teaching the same subject.
But the move made his dream come true. The Sheridan College has agreed to
introduce a Sanskrit course from September 14. Kaicker, who had developed an
e-tutorial for the language, has been asked to take the classes.
It's a dream come true. We are starting a basic course from September 14
that will introduce the Devanagari alphabet and script as well as the
formation of simple sentences. Depending on audience interest, advanced
courses will be introduced.
We have one campus in Oakville and one in Brampton. I teach in both, but the
Sanskrit courses will be in Brampton, where the South Asian community is
concentrated.

Perini Kakatiya Dance

Perini Shivatandavam or Perini Thandavam is an ancient dance form from South India which has been revived in recent times. It originated and prospered in Andhra Pradesh during the Kakatiya dynasty.Perini is performed by males and it is believed that in ancient times this was performed before the soldiers set to war. Nataraja Ramakrishna was the person who revived this art form recently.
The Perini Thandavam is a dance form usually performed by males. It is called 'Dance of Warriors'. Warriors before leaving to the battlefield enact this dance before the idol of Lord Shiva. The dance form, Perini, reached its pinnacle during the rule of the 'Kakatiyas' who established their dynasty at Warangal and ruled for almost two centuries.
The Perini Thandavam, Andhra Pradesh It is believed that this dance form invokes 'Prerana' (inspiration) and is dedicated to supreme dancer, Lord Shiva. One can find evidence of this dance in the sculptures of the Ramappa Temple at Warangal.
Perini is a vigorous dance done to the resounding beats of drums. Dancers drive themselves to a state of mental abstraction where they feel the power of Shiva in their body. While dancing they invoke Shiva to come into him and dance through him. The Perini Thandavam is indeed believed to be the most invigorating and intoxicating male dance form.
Perini dance form almost disappeared after the decline of the Kakatiya dynasty but Dr. Nataraja Ramakrishna father of Andhra Natyam brought renaissance in Perini dance, which was on verge of extinction.

Similarities between the Telugu culture and the Bene Ephraim culture regarding the festivals 
observed by both groups. For example the Telugu people observe Ugadi as their New Year. On the same day the Beke Epraim 
Community members observe their HGaggadah. Both these people follow the lunar calendar and eat the bitter herbs on that day. Both people call their father as Abba and mother as Amma in their languages. The author discovered about 200 Hebrew words in the Telugu language. The author further says that the Telugu language is as old as the Hebrew language and these two languages are even older than the Sanskrit language

Forgotten Poets Kumara-sambhavamu by Nanne Choda-deva

Naturally Nannaya was not the first finished poet in Andhra speech. But until recently no earlier 

poems seem to have been generally known to exist. In 1909, however, M. Rfima-krishria Kavi has published 

as no. 2 of the " Forgotten Poets " Series a Kumara-sambhavamu purporting to be by Nanne Choda-deva 

Tehkanaditya, son of Choda-balli, king of Oravfiru (Trichinopoly) ; and the editor on his English title-page 

gives the year of his death as A.D. 940, while in his preface he states that he fell in battle against the 

Western Chalukyas in Saka 940.

Nannayya

Nannaya's successors have left numerous works behind them. Among the poets
of the earlier period (circa 1000-1450 a.d.) whose poems are catalogued in the following
pages are Tikkana, Erra Pregada, Rauga-nathudu, Bhaskarudu, Ketana, and indeed nearly
all the most brilliant writers who have survived. An Augustan age may be said to begin
in the middle of the 15th century, under the patronage of Krishna-deva Raya of Vijaya-
nagar. From that date the number of poets and writers on various subjects began to
increase, and is still increasing, with notable rapidity.LinguisHc Survey of India, vol. iv., p. 577.

Nannayya Mahabaratam

The extant major Telugu literature may be said to begin with Nannaya Bhattu,f a Vaidika 
brahman of the Mudgala-gotra, who was a poet at the court of the Chalukya Raja-narendra or Vishnu- vardhana, son of Vimaladitya. Raja-narendra was king of the Vengi-nadu, the old Telugu country,! and reigned in Rajahmundry. Under his patronage, early in the eleventh century, Nannaya, with the aid of  Narayana Bhattu, composed a poetical Telugu version of the first three books of the Sanskrit Maha-bharata, which was supple- mented some two centuries later by Tikkana Soma-yoji, who added a version of the greater 
part of the remaining books. This " Andhra-bharata " of Nannaya and Tikkana remains 
to the present day the chief classic of Telugu literature ; and in the same way Nannaya's Andhra-sabda-chintiimani has been the basis of all subsequent works on Telugu grammar and stylistic. 

Official Languages Act 1963

South Indian languages comprise one of the five Dravidian languages of Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Tulu. Besides, these languages also serve as official languages for the concerning states and its governmental purposes. The approximated population of South India comes to a count of 233 million. The largest linguistic groups in South India encompass the  Telugus, Tamils, Kannadigas, Malayalis, Tuluvas, Kodavas and Konkanis, which, quite manifestly mirrors the diversification and overlapping of language cultures and customs. According to the 2001 Census, Telugu possessed the third largest base of native speakers in India (74 million), after Hindi and Bengali. Telugu as such, was awarded the status of classical language in 2008. Tamil was granted the status of classical language by the Government of India in 2002 and had approximately 60 million native speakers. Kannada possessed 38 million, whereas Malayalam had 33 million native speakers respectively. Each of these south Indian languages is enlisted as an official language of India, as per the Official Languages Act (1963).

Origin of Dharma Sastra is shrouded in mystery SOMEONE SAID?

The Telugu country is bounded towards the east by the Bay of Bengal from about
Barwa in the Ganjam District in the north to near Madras in the south. From Barwa
the frontier line goes westwards through Ganjam to the Eastern Ghats, and then south-
westwards, crosses the Sabari on the border of the Sunkam and Bijji Talukas in the
Bastar State, and thence runs along the range of the Bela Dila to the Indravati. It
follows that river to its confluence with the Godavari, and then runs through Chanda,
cutting off the southern part of that district, and farther eastwards, including the southern
border of the district of Wun. It then turns southwards to the Godavari, at its confluence
with the Manjira, and thence farther south, towards Bidar, where Telugu meets with
Kanarese. The frontier line between the two forms of speech then runs almost due south
The pandits' derivations from Sanskrit Trilihija (" land of the Three Liiigas ") or Telugu tine (honey)
also deserve mention. Ancient Sanskrit Grammarians considered factors like pronunciation and euphonic combination and the discrimination of parts of speech in their compositions.
 Prakrit Grammarians were influenced by Sanskrit Grammarians. Prakrit languages are associated with different patron dynasties, religions and literary traditions.
 Origin of Dharma Sastra is shrouded in mystery. Dharmashastra serve as rudimentary texts on law. It represents an elaborate scholastic system of a proficient tradition.
Origin of Bengali Language lies in the family of Indo European languages. Bengali is considered as a modern Aryan language.

predominance of maritime JUNGLE climate IN SOUTH

The southern region in India is defined and acknowledged by its predominance of maritime climate and sea shores, with magnificent splendour lacing its borderlines. Being wholly based on the coasts of Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal, south India is that perfect combination of sea, sand and sun. Its coconut, or palm tree lined arenas, or the sudden appearance of dense forests hidden with unusual medicinal plants, or the dominance of the wild and ferocious, makes it the place that had witnessed its evolvement since prehistoric times. Indeed, south Indian temples and their fabulous architecture and the rare scriptures unearthed, even date back prior to the Indus Valley Civilization. The absolutely overwhelming Dravidian section of people that reside in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka, make up their secluded lifestyle that can be apprehended only perhaps by a thorough visit to south India. Besides these states, south India is also delineated by the Union Territories of Puducherry and Lakshwadeep Islands, where French is known to occupy a pride place. With such ancient eras defining its historical evolvement, it becomes obvious that the germination of South Indian languages also had occurred from the Dravidian group of civilisation. Dravidian family of languages does stand in stark contrast with its northern counterpart of Indo-Aryan languages and its evolvement.

Garland to my TELUGU mother POEM

Telugu is a south-east Dravidian language spoken mainly in the state of Andhra Pradesh on India`s east coast: it became the state`s official language in the mid-1960s with around 70 million speakers. It is the most predominant of South India`s four major Dravidian languages. Its literary history dates back to the 11th century AD when the poet Nannaya produced a translation of parts of the Mahabharata. While Sanskrit has played a major role in Telugu literature over the centuries, there is an increasing tendency for written works to reflect the more colloquial variety of modern standard Telugu.

origin of the word telugu

The origin of the word telugu or tenugu is rather obscure, and both forms seem 
ancient. The most reasonable derivation, however, is from ten, " south," so that tenugu 
would mean " southern "; and this may well have become corrupted into telugu, especially 
as a popular etymology from teli, " bright," was ready to 

hand.

great family of Dravidiau languages

the great family of Dravidiau languages, the mother-tougues of some fifty-seven 
millions of men, covering the whole of Southern India and Northern Ceylon, northwards appearing in smaller scattered areas, and lastly represented after an interval of hundreds of Hues on the west by the isolated Hrahui of Baluchistan, numerically the most important is the Andhra or Telugu, spoken by about twenty millions.

Ear Rings of Satavahana queen

The Sātavāhanas ruled a large and powerful empire that withstood the onslaughts from Central Asia. Aside from their military power, their commercialism and naval activity is evidenced by establishment of Indian colonies in southeast Asia.
The Sātavāhanas began as feudatories to the Mauryan Empire. They seem to have been under the control of Emperor Ashoka, who claims they were in his domain, and that he introduced Buddhism among them:

Here in the king's domain among the Yavanas (Greeks), the Kambojas, the Nabhakas, the Nabhapamkits, the Bhojas, the Pitinikas, the Andhras and the Palidas, everywhere people are following Beloved-of-the-Gods' instructions in Dhamma.
—Rock Edict Nb13 (S. Dhammika)

The Satavahanas declared independence sometime after the death of Ashoka (232 BCE), as the Maurya Empire began to weaken.

It is believed that they were originally Brahmins, practicing Hindu religion (as per Sthala Purana of Amaravathi. Some rulers like Maharaja Satakarni are believed to have performed Vedic sacrifices as well.
They were not only worshipers of Vishnu and Shiva but also respected Buddha, but also other incarnations of, Gauri, Indra, the sun and moon.They were mostly Buddhistic Vaishnavites. Under their reign, Buddha had been worshiped as a form of Vishnu in Amaravati

Kotilingala ancient site of pre-Satavahana

Archaeological evidence indicates that Kotilingala (karimnagar) in Andhra Pradesh was the ancient site of pre-Satavahana and early Satavahana kings.The Satavahana was a Brahmin dynasty first mentioned in the Aitareya Brahmana, dating back to the 8th century BCE mentioning them to be of Vishwamitra's lineage. In the Pūrānas and on their coins the dynasty is variously referred to as the Sātavāhanas, Sātakarnīs, Andhras and Andhrabhrityas.[citation needed] A reference to the Sātavāhanas by the Greek traveller Megasthenes indicates that they possessed 100,000 infantry, 1,000 elephants, and had more than 30 well built fortified towns:

Next come the Andarae, a still more powerful race, which possesses numerous villages, and thirty towns defended by walls and towers, and which supplies its king with an army of 100,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry, and 1,000 elephants.
