Central Sahitya Akademy’s Southern Regional Office at Bangalore, organised a three-day programme ‘Kavi Sandhi’ last week at the Visakhapatnam Public Library. The last was a recitation of some of her own literary works by the eminently renowned Telugu poetess Aaduri Satyavathidevi, winner of the best woman writer and Krishna Sastry awards from Potti Sriramulu Telugu University (1994), Andhra Lalitha Kalaa Samithi, Secunderabad,(1998) besides UNESCO and Jaimuni Academy awards in 2000 and 2002. All her compositions, about 108 metrical verses (many of which were selected for broadcast by AIR and telecast by Doordarshan) besides more than double that number in free verse form have been published in book forms - Vennello Venugaanam, Rekkamuduvani Raagam, Jalapaatha geetham and Veyirangula Velugu Raagam.
Rekkamuduvani Raagam got the award of STVD Kalaa Samithi. Also known for her stories and essays (published), she won first prize for both of them separately from Vanitha and Vamsi Arts International. Individually, many of her poems also won her many a prize from Telugu weeklies besides being selectively translated into English and Hindi (more than a dozen each).
The recitation of two of her lyrical compositions - Vaatiguname Antha and Pachanigeetham - at the start revealed excelling beauty culminating in vibrant lyricism. They stood out comparing the attributes of the languages of music and poesy stating that the first is universal and the latter universally is revelatory.
Concentration and diversity
Music helps the mind to achieve singular concentration and poesy to singularly evolve into vast diversity. Similarly, the disquisition after reciting a few more verses that went on further for over an hour revealed her elated views on one’s own self and its unique attribute of being one’s own person that always remains much higher than his or her thoughts however sublime they may be.
It also surfaced her feelings and her emotional concern for human ecology and her disquietude at the happenings that mark the down on the earth process in society on the other. Overall, it left an impression of being an effulgent revelation of the ever reverberant romantic in her.
