New course on “Telugu Literature” at U T Austin
For the first time at the University of Texas at Austin, we are offering a new course on the history of Telugu literature. It's a literature in translation course and all the readings are in English. The course covers a wide range of areas from classical to modern contexts of the Telugu literature and culture. We read and discuss primary texts from Telugu and a few carefully selected sec-ondary materials about the current research in Telugu studies. However, we will focus on the questions of modernity in the context of Telugu literature and culture. In the process, we also discuss the tensions between classical and
modern in Indian literature in general.

Harikatha by Savithri Jayanthi (from TTD,
India) - May 2011
TASA SANKRANTHI 2011 REPORT - By Venkatesh Adivi
The Telugu Association of San Antonio (TASA) began its
2011 cultural activities with a well-attended and well-
organized Sankranthi Sambaraalu at the Mahalakshmi Hall on
Saturday, January 22nd, 2011. As the annual membership
drive program, this event with local talent garnered consider-
able interest, attendance and participation with the hall filling
to capacity. Murthy Patamalla, as the new President of TASA
for 2011-12, marshaled his fresh team of Executive Commit-
tee Members, and delivered a complex, well-
orchestrated program. Mothers gladly partici-
pated in the Bhogiallu ceremony for their kids.
This was followed in quick succession by pairs
competing to render colorful Muggulu and
chefs preparing Chakra Pongali. A delicious
Pandaga Bhojanam, sponsored by the Botlas,
the Joolukuntlas, the Gundlapallis and Pavani
Express, awaited the registered audience.
Boorelu, fried mirapakayalu, vada, and ap-
padam accompanied a sumptuous feast. MCs,
Sailaja Tamtam and Deepti Kona, ably and
patiently shepherded a lively cultural program
that included songs, dances, skits and felicita-
tions. Door prizes, sponsored by Owl Cleaners, Mustafa Inc. and Asia Food
Mart, were awarded intermittently throughout the program. To promote
exposure and involvement, current life members were invited to the stage
to present trophies, kindly sponsored by Ravi Botla, to every participant at
the end of each item. A highlight of the evening’s celebration was the Bone
Marrow Registration Drive that elicited 25 attendees signing up for the
Bone Marrow Registry. Also touching to most of us involved with cultural
activities in
San Antonio for over a decade, was the heartfelt felici-
tation of the outgoing TASA President, Madhava Rao
Govindaraju, with a warm speech by Afsar Mohammad,
Telugu Lecturer for the Department of Asian Studies at
UT Austin, and a paean of praise from Satyam Manda-
pati, read by Prasad Turlapati. Over 60 kids and 20
adults participated in the cultural program. Starting
with a melodiously rendered Ganesha
Stuti by Srilakshmi Kadambala, the
program quickly moved to two classi-
cal dances by the Kaveri Natya Yoga
masterfully coordinated by Dr.
Sreedhara Akkihebbalu. The choice of
ragas, voices, music, abhinaya and
bhaava were excellent and the audience made its appreciation known with
enthusiastic applause. These were interspersed with a foot-tapping medley
of Athadu and Devadas movie dances by Manusri Kalakonda. Next was a
skit (the first of two) by Telugu Badi students with a hilarious set of
Q&A’s between teacher and students. A sweetly patriotic song Telugu
Koyila sung by Varun, Alekya and Aishwarya was followed by a Sankranthi
themed movie song and
Om Namo Sh iva
Rudraaya from the
movie Khaleja. The Sankranthi themed dance coordinated by Usha
Govindaraju and Sridevi Mummidi and Chinnanati Smruthulu by Smt.
Padma Devaguptapu captured the essence of this uniquely Telugu
festival. Beautifully choreographed and performed classical dances,
crowd pleasing teenage Panther Girls Movie Dance medley, followed
by TASA Secretary Phani Atluri’s vote of thanks completed the eve-
