Call to revive Krishnamayya's works

The message that the first Telugu Vaggeyakara Krishnamayya had given through his sankeertanas should be preserved and propagated for the benefit of posterity, port Chairman Ajeya Kallam has said.

At the inaugural of the Krishnamayya Jayantotsavam organised at the temple of Lord Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha at Simhachalam on Thursday, he said it was unfortunate that many of the verses of Krishnamayya had not seen the light of the day. He appreciated the efforts of the organisers to revive the works of the poet. He, however, said that instead of focussing on individuals, efforts should be made to revive their works.

Presiding over the programme, Ramachandracharyulu of Vizianagaram said it was unfortunate that successive officials of Simhachalam temple were pre-occupied with the temple lands issue and were not able to concentrate on the temple activities. He said some of Krishnamayya's works were available at the Manuscripts Library in Thanjavur.
